Ian Holloway has said that he is pleased to have another chance to secure promotion from the Championship at Wembley.

The Crystal Palace manager previously took Blackpool to the Premier League through the playoffs, but was beaten in last year's final.

Holloway told Sky Sports News: "It is just great. It really hurt me being relegated because you wonder if you will ever get it again.

"But I had no real doubt I would get another chance. I would have been letting my club down if I hadn't.

"The money and levels have gone up so much since two years ago and we need to get the money because others are getting so rich. No matter how rich my owners at Palace are, they will never be able to bridge the gap themselves."

Palace face Watford in the final tomorrow.
