It felt so far away, even only 2 years ago. Thank you Marcelo, Radz, the players, the tea lady, the kit man and the fans. ❤

I suppose I feel relief more than anything, relief that I've had bottled up for God knows how long. A psychological defence mechanism after last season, perhaps? So many people are going wild, and rightfully so, but I'm just enjoying the calm, cool night. Everything just feels right.
Tough on your own tbf, the other half doesn't like football at all so no celebrations here either, she wanted to watch a movie so we did. Did put some beer in the fridge but forgot about it...

No phone calls, no e-mails, family full of Chelsea fans, all my friends too..so not surprising.

Having lived through the Glory Years you were used to the absolute elation of winning and total depression/disappointment at all the near misses and what could have beens.
Thus I was dreading the Derby and Charlton games. After all the great things that happened this season, we could still have effed it up.
When Huddersfield scored their second goal the weight of the world on my shoulders and the churning of my stomach both disappeared in an instant.
Bloody marvelous!
Congratulations Marcelo, the team, the fans and everybody associated with Leeds United.

Well I'm simply spent, feel like I could sleep a month. I'm going to raise a hot toddy to our glorious club and everyone in it, past and present, and go to bed with the biggest smile in the world on my lips.

Enjoy your celebrations one and all, and enjoy your dreams of future glory to come. This feels like a night where anything's possible.

Long term lurker but signed up to tonight. Well done to staff, players and fans.

I’m a southern Leeds fan and people know me as a Leeds fan because that’s unusual for my age around here.

My dad originally being from Leeds took me to my first Leeds game when I was a kid. The first game I watched at Elland road, I don’t remember the football so much but the atmosphere. I still remember that feeling I got as young kid, being in absolute awe of the electric atmosphere. The experience I felt that day is still etched into my brain 30 years later and that is what hooked me on Leeds ever since.

I cannot begin to imagine what its going to feel like on the first full crowd at Elland Road in the premiership.

Thank you!

I am messaging Leeds fan I know, not too many really, my old man is my Leeds buddy. One I used to work with, my last message to him was in 2016 saying "Looks like Evans is on his way out" :)

Like others have said, I think I'm relieved more than anything. 16 years of frustration and now I have to figure out what this new feeling is. Most of all I feel proud. But that never went away, really.

Celebrating all by myself. Where I live there are precious few football fans and no Leeds fans at all.

You all are my Leeds family, and I have derived a great deal of pleasure from celebrating along with everyone on these pages.

As we say in the American South, y'all are the best.

Long time lurker from downunder (Leeds supporter since I watched Alan Clarke score the winner in the 72 Cup final as a 7 year old) and was in tears the same night a year later.
It’s been so stressful waking up each morning and barely daring to look at the results.
Looking forward to some silverware and on to next season. Hope you guys will be able to enjoy those massive games at ER soon.

American South and English North are very alike in nature I've found, John. Only been to Alabama, Texas and Florida but they were by far some of the most hospitable, hardworking and welcoming folk I've ever met.

You'll always be a part of this family, mate. :tup:
