I think Swinton won the toin coss and Leon has said that a few of their players have holidays booked for next week.

Can't see Town picking up a win.



I feel sorry for whoever gets picked to ref that game though, Swinton v Workington has potential to be the dirtiest match of RL ever!

Job done. Promotion sorted. Thank God we're out of that league.

Great win today, well done Bulls. Special mention for the unsung players, Lilley and Kirk today both immense.

A bit harsh on the ref I think. This had the potential to soar right out of control. I believe the ref did as reasonable job and kept it all more or less in check. He was decisive when he needed to be i.e Garside sin bin and Moi Moi sending off. he spoke as well to both captains and I'm sure all this had the effect of keeping the lid on it. Yes there were a couple of flare ups but that was all. Additionally I thought he liaised with his touch judges much more than many refs I have seen this season. I would be interested to hear of other thoughts on this as I suppose I may be out of touch only having supported the game for between 30 & 40 years.

We turned up when it counted but those missed conversions nearly gave me a heart attack!



Special mention to the defensive efforts of Ethan Ryan. Some great tackles, particularly when they had a 2 on 1 whilst we were down to 12 men. Forced the knock on.

I agree. I thought the ref did well.



We had a whole thread this week about whether the referee would let Workington drag the game down to the thug level - and he actually didn't. In fact, he had no impact whatsoever on the result of the game - which is what you want from the ref

Great performance today. Well done to all the players. I think we were just too good and wanted it more. Can put the lucky pants away now till next season.

Delighted. Rekon we kept our best two performances for our last two games. Very few mistakes. Thought the ref was fine too.

Well Done Bulls. One step closer to seeing you back at Headingley

Bit o/t but there's a fantastic photo on Batemans Instagram of him, Whitehead, the Burgess twins, Donaldson and Chev Walker watching the game today in the coral stand. We've produced some talent in RL. Fanastic to see former players still have such love for the club. Been a while, but today i am proud to be a Bulls fan.

I thought they were all brilliant today, one player not mentioned was Elliot M. Roger must be over the moon with his performance, really stood up when Garsdie was off.

Thought Lilley was brilliant and to look at his face at the presentation, that lad’s a Bull, no doubt!

Hats off to Chalmers, we were all quick to criticise last year when things weren’t going well, you know what he stuck with us and made this happen.

Looking forward to Fax and Toronto.

One word guys YESSSSSSSS!

Sorry meant Garside, one or two too many libations

see you didn't need to win the league then, good old RFL made it so you can sneak in through the back door

Yep, the RFL changed League 1 so two teams get promoted years in advance of us being in it for this reason.

Oh dear.

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!
