IT has been the longest 21 months in the lives of the Bradford Bulls loyal faithful.
Not only did Covid mean their 2020 season was abandoned, the games they did host were 10 miles down the road in Dewsbury.
But with the news of a return to their spiritual home happening this weekend, supporters' excitement is off the scales.
4,000 raving fans will be cheering on their side as those in red, amber and black take on local rivals York City Knights on Sunday (3pm).
It was great to see and hear our @OfficialBullsRL fans yesterday in the capital, it’s going to be spine tingling to see them in full flow at old lady Odsal on Sunday 👏👏 https://t.co/joaxhkUZgr

Great to see all the positive comments about this. Also had a chuckle at the the negative ones as well. Fans from other clubs don’t get the connection that most Bulls fans have with Odsal. As the great man said “a small piece of heaven on earth”. Absolutely! #COYB https://t.co/Y5nSBdRtr7

Might be a little biased but Odsal is hands down the greatest stadium in the world https://t.co/naFa316LMs
