1720: Lots of Doncaster fans remain inside Wembley celebrating their team's famous win. And why not.
There are not so many Leeds fans still there. The ones that do remain look forlorn, deep in contemplation of another season of League One football.
That is just about it for today, so thanks for all your company. It has been a Chuck Norris style education.
1715: "We huffed and puffed but our quality wasn't quite there today. We lost a poor goal." Leeds United manager Gary McAllister
1711: PLAYER RATER The player rater man of the match is Bournemouth goalscorer James Hayter with 7.60, though Neil Sullivan is not too far behind with 7.50. Both were superb for Donny. Don't forget, you can still get involved. Player Rater
1710: The Doncaster players are on the pitch, running towards their fans and sliding on the wet Wembley turf.
1704: "Such a shame for Leeds. There's not a football club who deserves it more." Gary, Evertonian, via text on 81111
Now call me crazy, but I reckon that quite a few people might suggest that Leeds missing out is something that provides them with more than modicum of pleasure.
1702: And up in the air goes the trophy. I've always wondered whether the play-off winners should receive a trophy given the team finishing second in the table don't, but now is not the time for my grumpy considerations.
It is very much a case of well done Doncaster.
1701: The Doncaster players make their way up the steps to receive their medals at Wembley. What a moment for them.
1700: "Next year Leeds will win League One no question." Stefan, Leeds, via text on 81111
1658: "I could murder a cup of tea." Doncaster boss Sean O'Driscoll works a nice line in understatement
1656: "It is an unbelievable feeling to score the winner. I have been dreaming about it all week." Doncaster goalscorer James Hayter
1654: Donny, let us not forget, were in the Conference five years ago. No wonder they are celebrating. James Hayter scored the only goal of the game.
In stark contrast, many Leeds players are down on their knees, fans hold their head in their hands. The odd tear can be seen.
1652: Full-time Doncaster 1-0 Leeds United The fairytale continues for Donny, the nightmare rolls on for Leeds, who will play League one football again next season.
Donny will be in the top two tiers of English football for the first time in 50 years next season.
1651: Donny win the ball and Stock runs it into the corner.
1650: Leeds push forward. Guess what - the ball ends up in Sullivan's hands. Seconds left now.
1648: Sullivan brilliantly plucks yet another cross out of the sky. His handling has been immense this afternoon, his courage admirable.
1647: There will be four minutes of added time.
1646: Desperation time - Leeds throwing everything forward, Donny blocking and tackling and putting bodies in the way.
1644: Leeds and late goals - if there is anything in it then now is the time.
1643: Dougles smashes a half volley from 20 yards for Leeds. The ball flies just wide. Is it just not to be for the men from Elland Road?
1642: Lewis Guy on for James Coppinger as Donny make another change. Donny now minutes away from the Championship.
1641: Sullivan booked for time wasting. The attendance for the match is just above 75,000.
1640: Douglas drills the ball into the box and Sullivan collects. His handling has been superb.
1639: Leeds win a corner. Time is starting to run out for them and Gary McAllister looks on with concern. The corner is cleared by Donny, who have done an excellent job of nullifying decent positions for Leeds.
1637: Donny striker Jason Price has worked hard both in attack and defence. He is replaced by Lockwood.
1636: About 15 minutes left. Leeds have had most of the possession in the second half without creating all that many openings, while Donny look fairly threatening on the break.
1634: Dougie Freedman tries his luck but shoots wide and is replaced by Andy Hughes moments later. Perhaps not such a happy birthday for Dougie.
1631: "If Doncaster can hold on this will surely be seen as a fairytale story. Who would have thought Doncaster and Hull would be in the top two tiers just a few years ago?" wojibluebird on 606 Join the debate on 606
Answer - nobody, surely.
1628: James Coppinger is through on goal but is thwarted by an excellent covering tackle by Jonathon Douglas. Donny's Richie Wellens, having lasted 72 minutes, is replaced by Mark McCammon.
1627: Tresor Kandol comes on for the largely ineffectual Prutton. Well done loafheadjohnson (See 1625).
1626: Doncaster striker Jason Price tracks back once again to make an excellent tackle. His work rate today has been superb. Leeds, though, are pushing forward more and more often. However, they are struggling to carve open chances and Johnson shoots over from distance.
1625: "Gary McAllister should be looking at using his substitutes if anyone can get the goal Tresor Kandol can." loafheadjohnson on 606 Join the debate on 606
1621: The Leeds fans are trying to lift their team, though on balance so far Donny probably deserve their lead.
1619: "Chuck Norris and Dean Windass walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building." waverider_uk06 Join the debate on 606
1617: A decent strike from Beckford after O'Connor inadvertently nudges the ball into his path but the striker's effort from an acute angle is saved.
1615: Howson, who went close in the first half, tries his luck from 25 yards but, once again, the effort misses the target.
1614: Donny seem to have more penetration in attack, with the likes of Brian Stock delivering some telling balls to the forward line. However, let us not forget that Leeds have been something of late-goal specialists this season.
1612: Doncaster, to their credit, are not just trying to absorb what Leeds can throw at them. Donny are still pushing forward and it is helping to make for a decent game.
1607: Stung after conceding, Leeds push forward with Beckford shooting at goal but Sullivan makes a decent save low to his right.
1604: GOAL Doncaster 1-0 Leeds United James Hayter, unmarked, brilliantly heads home a corner from 10 yards. The Donny fans find their voice, and rightly so.
1603: James Coppinger takes the free-kick but the ball strikes the Leeds wall.
1602: We are back under way at Wembley - and Doncaster immediately win a free-kick in a dangerous position.
1602: Just seen a shot of Ken Bates and Lord Mawhinney on the same row but facing away from each other. Check that body language.
1557: With regard to the question at 1544 - two people have suggested Jack Bauer. Why?
1557: "Watching in HK on a channel 5 mins behind that keeps freezing. Can't take any more." Barney Rubble via text on 81111
Well, it is still 0-0 at the break. Fairly even steven. Maybe you should get in touch with Chuck, he will sort your connection out once he has finished dispensing words of wisdom in the dressing rooms at Wembley.
1551: PLAYER RATER Your player rater of the match so far? Well, I think it says a lot about your collective wisdom and understanding of the game, what we might call the Tao of Chuck, that Leeds keeper Ankergren leads the way with 7.78. Player Rater
1547: Half-time Doncaster 0-0 Leeds An opening 45 minutes in which both teams had their moments comes to an end. Leeds keeper Casper Ankergren has made some decent saves to keep his team on level terms.
1544: "Lewis Hamilton only won the Grand Prix because Dean Windass wasn't there to win it instead." BH, Cambridge, via text on 81111
But if Chuck AND Windass had been there who would have won?
1543: Jonathan Howson shoots narrowly wide for Leeds with a decent curling effort. The nearest they have come to a goal.
1542: Ankergren to the rescue again for Leeds after a heavy first touch from Hayter pushes the ball wide and allows the keeper the opportunity to clear. A good first touch from Hayter and he would have been clean through.
1540: Donny's turn to pressurise, with James Hayter shooting over the crossbar . Half-time is not too far away now and this game is relatively evenly poised. I'd have to say that after a very promising start, Doncaster have faded a little. Gary McAllister will perhaps be the happiest given the way his team have forced their way back into the tie.
1538: I used to study in Leeds and once went to Elland Road on a miserable, wet Wednesday and watched them beat AC Milan 1-0. It is sometimes easy to forget how fall they have fallen.
1536: (See 1455) "God is a Hull fan. Chuck Norris is a Leeds fan. God made a bet with Chuck that until Hull get into the Premier League he can have godlike powers. Poor Chuck." Anonymous via text on 81111
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. Enough already.
1532: chrisquinn3 informs us on 606 that Leeds will win, with Beckform scoring after a threaded pass from Neil Kilkenny. Any other predictions? Or should I just ask Chuck Norris? Join the debate on 606
1531: Sullivan saves from Beckford, though in truth the shot lacks power. It is all Leeds now as several Donny players hold an on-pitch discussion, doubtless aimed at putting things right.
1528: Attention all petrolheads. Lewis Hamilton won the Monaco Grand Prix.
1527: Leeds are starting to look threatening and win their first corner of the contest. David Prutton, hugely in need of a trip to the barbers, enters the referee's notebook for a late tackle.
1525: (See 1455) "Chuck Norris hasn't got a thing on Jermaine Beckford. Come one you Leeds!" Kris from Kent via text on 81111
I wonder if Chuck is watching the match on cable from an undercover bunker somewhere. Doubt it.
1523: The Leeds fans sing their anthem, Marching on Together. Quite a few of them are in the Doncaster end.
1521: Palacefanforlife informs us that it is Dougie Freedman's birthday today. We will know soon enough whether it will be a happy one.
Leeds have started to come back into this tie after their very shaky start.
1517: Jermaine Beckford shoots from 20 yards but Neil Sullivan, once of Leeds, makes a comfortable save.
A minute or so before Matthew Mills went into the book for a challenge on Beckford. Leeds struck the wall from the subsequent free-kick.
1514: (See 1455) "Chuck Norris' tears cure every disease known to man and stop global warming. It's a shame for us all that he has never cried." Daniel Criag David James on 606 Join the debate on 606
1512: Phew! What a start from Donny, who have been firmly on top. Leeds finally get their foot on the ball and try to settle into the match.
1509: Donny spring the Leeds offside trap in a big way and United have Danish keeper Ankergren to thank again, this time he saves from James Hayter.
1508: Donny, Donny and more Donny. Leeds keeper Casper Ankergren makes a great stop at the feet of Doncaster's James Coppinger.
1507: A red and white wave as Donny win another corner. Leeds have yet to hit their stride.
1506: Confident play from Donny culminates with a shot from Jason Price that is blocked from six yards. Richie Wellens, a doubt for this game, then drills the ball into the side netting.
1503: Donny string a few passes together and win the first corner of the final. Leeds boss Gary McAllister is pointing this way and that from his technical area.
1501: Leeds defender Bradley Johnson lets fly from distance. It disappears well over the crossbar but if you don't buy a ticket...
1500: The match starts at Wembley. Plenty of noise, cracking atmosphere, now can the game deliver?
1457: Several Crystal Palace fans on 606 wishing Dougie Freedman all the best. Very much a case of marching on together... Join the debate on 606
1455: (See 1430) "Chuck Norris can't drink as much as Dean Windass." Anonymous via text on 81111
I'm not sure that I understand the relevance of citing Chuck Norris here. Anyone?
1453: The two teams are making their way out of the tunnel and on to the pitch. Doncaster in their red and white hoops, Leeds in white. Who will hold their nerve today? Join the debate on 606
1445: (See 1430) "Windass will have had 20 pints of bitter and five kebabs. He won't feel a thing this morning." charly-pag on 606 Join the debate on 606
1442: (See 1430) "I bet Dean Windass doesn't even get hangovers, probably had toast and a Guinness for breakfast." Paul, Kent, via text on 81111
1437: Leeds, who have made eight previous trips to Wembley, sold out their allocation of 36,000 tickets in hours and there are already numerous people wearing Leeds colours in the Doncaster end.
Donny have apparently sold about 24,000 tickets.
1435: TEAMS NEWS Both teams are unchanged from their play-off semi-final second-leg ties. This means that Bradley Johnson retains his place in the Leeds side.
1430: After the final whistle at Wembley on Saturday Dean Windass ran over to the Hull fans and shouted at them something like: "A few drinks tonight?" He then nodded his head with great enthusiasm as if to say there was very little doubt about the answer.
How much do you reckon Dean Windass had to drink last night?
1425 BST: I spent Saturday afternoon at Wembley watching Hull defeat Bristol City to win a place in the Premier League.
From my point of view this largely involved seeing my wife become more and more animated and nervous in equal measure as Hull edged closer to reaching the top flight for the first time in their 104-year history.
Today it is the turn of Leeds and Doncaster to lock horns, with a place in the Championship at stake.
Leeds are hopeful of taking a huge step in the right direction after years of bad news.
Doncaster are looking to continue their climb through the league - they were in the Conference as recently as 2003.
Who do you think will end today celebrating - and for whom will it be tears at bedtime? Join the debate on 606
