After nine months of hope, heartbreak and extraordinary access, it all comes down to one game.

Crowds are growing, optimism is sweeping through the club and the play-offs offer a chance to complete an incredible turnaround after relegation the previous season.

As manager Vill Powell, chairman Jon McClure, star striker Alex Hardwick and the volunteers who keep the club running prepare for the biggest match of the season, Sheffield FC's future feels brighter than it has for years.

With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the dressing room, the terraces and the emotional aftermath of the play-off semi-final, Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem), Adam Oxley and Simon Thake bring the season to a dramatic conclusion.
