The Stags had wobbled recently with one point from three games before roaring back, with this third straight win securing League One football for the first time since 2002.
Clough said: 바카라I feel hugely relieved to get over the line 바카라 I didn바카라t want it to go to Saturday or possibly the week after going to Barrow.
바카라I think the MK Dons result on Saturday gave us a huge incentive to get it done tonight.
바카라But the season is not over yet. It is in terms of achieving our aim but we still have two games to play.
바카라So we will do everything we can to beat Gillingham on Saturday and then get something at Barrow the week after.
바카라It is a special night and an unbelievable achievement for Mansfield to be playing in the league above for the first time in 22 years.
바카라This is for the thousands that were here tonight, some people have been supporting the club for 50-60 years 바카라 it바카라s for them.
바카라They have seen some quite low times here over the years, so it바카라s lovely they can enjoy tonight.
바카라Some supporters have said to me it바카라s the best season they have ever seen at Mansfield, not just the promotion but the football 바카라 and that is pleasing.바카라
George Maris gave Stags the perfect start as, from a short corner, he launched the ball towards the near post where it found the net off Stanley바카라s Tommy Leigh.
Stanley goalkeeper Radek Vitek then made good saves to deny Hiram Boateng while Maris failed to turn a low cross into an empty net at full stretch.
But Stephen Quinn made it 2-0 on 63 minutes at the second attempt after Vitek saved his first effort.
Leigh did grab a fine volleyed consolation after 85 minutes before a pitch invasion and wild scenes.
Accrington boss John Doolan hoped watching the Stags바카라 celebrations would inspire his young side.
He said: 바카라It바카라s Mansfield바카라s night and it바카라s fantastic for them.
바카라They have been trying for a number of years to get themselves up and promoted so well done to Nigel and Andy (Garner) and all the playing staff.
바카라That바카라s what you want to aspire to and that바카라s where you want to get.
바카라We바카라ve done it before so there바카라s no stopping this group of young lads that바카라s coming through and this is what they want. We will move on and hopefully that can be us in 12 months.
바카라We came here to try to spoil the party and I think the lads did their best and showed that.
바카라We wanted to stay in the game so we had a game plan to play in blocks of 15 or 20 minutes.
바카라That early goal kills you a little bit but the lads showed resilience and character to get in at half-time to sort ourselves out. They never stopped and we pushed them right to the end.바카라
