Some clubs celebrate titles with an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas. Others opt for Dubai. As for Martin Allen and Barnet, they will land in Benidorm on Wednesday afternoon as Conference champions. Regaining their Football League status after a two-year absence came down to 90 minutes against Gateshead. Win, and the title was theirs. Lose or draw, and it went to Bristol Rovers. There was to be no drama in this finale, yet manager Allen expected nothing less. The man known as Mad Dog predicted they would win promotion to League Two long before it was confirmed on Saturday. Barnet celebrate with the Conference trophy after securing a return to the Football League . Mauro Vilhete (right) scored a brace for Barnet as they overcame Gateshead to secure promotion . The title-winning victory ensures Martin Allen's fourth spell in charge of the club would be his most successful . 'Nobody expected us to do it,' said Allen, currently in his fourth spell in charge of the club. 'The bookmakers never said we would do it. The pundits and the experts said we would be nowhere near it. 'I knew a week before the season started we were going to be champions. I just knew it. There was no-one that could stop us. No way. 'We had too much power. We had too much pace. We had too much of everything. Privately and quietly behind the scenes, I knew that we were going to get 90-plus and win the league. It was obvious to me.' No-one told those in Bristol that. Rovers ended their season with a 7-0 humiliation of Alfreton Town with six different players on the score-sheet, but finished a point behind Barnet. They will have to make do with the play-offs, with their semi-final first leg away to Forest Green Rovers on Wednesday. There were no twists or turns in north London, where Gateshead played their part in the script to perfection. Barnet took the lead in the 25th minute after Mauro Vilhete was gifted a free header. No reaction from Allen. No clenched fist. Nothing. He simply turned away, and walked back to his seat. Yet, when Vilhete's second in the 48th minute all but confirmed they were champions, Allen let loose. Full time was greeted by the almost obligatory and seemingly inevitable pitch invasion, and the celebrations will stretch all the way to Alicante.

Despite promotion to League Two, Allen's on-off relationship with Barnet could see him leave the club for a fourth time. Their chairman Anthony Kleanthous will join him in Spain this week, having likened his manager to a girlfriend you cannot get rid of. Allen agrees. 'I think I owed the supporters something,' he said. 'Walking out of the relationship, ditching them, going for money, which is what I have done. I never made any secret of that. 'My future? I'm going to Benidorm on Wednesday. The only thing I've got to think about at the moment is what sun factor to use in Benidorm.' At this point, a journalist asks whether that is an open invitation, to which Mad Dog replies: 'No. It's only for the champions, and you're not a champion.' Fortunately for Barnet, they are, as they wave goodbye to the non-League and hello to sunny Spain. Barnet players will celebrate their promotion with a team trip to Benidorm on Wednesday this week .
