Bravo Bradford Bulls and congratulations to the loyal fanbase. VERY busy at work today (ahem) with both the Leigh & the Bulls twitter feeds up on my computer. Could do without the cringeworthy player GIFs but the "handbags" one was amusing - saw it enough times today!

Hope that Leigh are still there to welcome you back to The Championship and thanks to all the fans who've taken the trouble to post their best wishes on our board in our straitened state (sorry for the odd reverse troll on there).

Today was brilliant. It had all the ingredients of a final: good crowd getting behind both teams, a few tasty moments, a ref that largely kept things under control and some adversity to over come to make the victory that bit more special.

The lads were excellent, they all seemed to put everything into that performance and it paid off. So happy this evening! What an afternoon. We haven’t experienced anything like this for some time so savour it.

Got to say didn't think ref too good,helped out massivley by touch judges. one in particular on mainstand side 2nd half

What a great day and night. Really good performance when it was most needed. Hope Leon can still get them up next week.

It was very emotional at the end, my lad came over to where we stand and I’m not ashamed to say we were both in tears having a big hug for a few minutes. We both knew what it meant to each other

Well done to the Bulls and for the true supporters who have stuck in there supporting them. Looking forward to our Derby games and may be a 3rd game in the summer bash. Welcome back, Mrs Faxlore is very happy.

Congratulations Bulls! Hope we are still there with you, next season.

Cheers Alan, you’re a good man. Yes hope you guys get through your problems and hope to see you next season

Yes mate absolutely over the moon. I thought he did ok yesterday.
It means so much to him

Chuffed to bits for you both mate

I saw him run over to your and thought it was a lovely touch. You must be as proud as punch, and rightly so.

It was a rough old game, but the metres we made going forwards were phenomenal, and our defence superb too.

It's sold me a season ticket for next year anyway.


And now I can sleep better too!

Yes it’s a moment I don’t think I’ll forget. We were both in tears hugging each other. Pretty special

What a day! Some great performances. Lilley at hooker was superb, some great sniping runs and in defence he was immense. Didn’t know he had that in him. James Green immense too, what about that hit in the first half when he brought the ball back off the kick off, I thought the earth was going to spin off its axis. Ethan Ryan’s cover tackle that jarred the ball loose that stopped a Town attack in the first half, really got the crowd going. The class of Hitchcox, whenever he got the ball he beat a defender.

Thought the ref did ok considering how feisty it got. I can’t recall any glaring mistakes. He used his assistants well. I didn’t see the Moi Moi tackle on Kirk but he was about 3m offside.

The emotions on display at the end were special. All the non playing staff on the sideline looked chuffed to bits. The look on Lilley’s face at times was a picture. Maybe he can re-start the tradition of Leeds players let go to us who go back to haunt them? Elliot Minchella’s embrace with his Dad said it all. Good also to see James Laithwaite out there too joining in the celebrations.

It’s going to be very tough next year and I’m sure we’ll see some players come and go, for now though we can celebrate.

great result. Thought we did well to stick to our gameplan and not get sucked into workingtons tactics. What was going on with Ref stopping clock every break in play?.
