Wigan won the penalty count 15-6 so they got plenty.

I'll just add, that in Twenty Six years of watching Rugby League, I've never seen anything like the scenes we all witnessed at Wigan last night.

Such was the intensity of the emotional experience, making supporters of all generations crying with pure joy and exhilaration.

As I signed off commentary duty from the DW Stadium (with little voice left):

"Trevor Foster is looking down smiling radiantly tonight, because Bradford is a famous club with such a proud history and heritage."

The atmosphere in our part of the stadium was awesome tonight!

The big hits in the final 20 really got us even more excited.

The best one was when Elima sat Hock on his booty

He is the first to put Hock on his booty all season! Awesome tackle. No technique, no good read in defence... just pure passion and guts! Loved it!

Like I said, the Bulls fans last night were the best at the stadium since we moved there in 1999. That includes saints and leeds fans winning play-off games and even the millions of Hull KR fans when they got promoted. You could feel what it meant to the fans. I have heard pundits in the past claim that the crowd doesn't make a difference, last night proved that theory wrong. When the fans upped the noise, the players upped their game. Fairplay.

Well done guys it would have been easy to stay at home. You fully deserved your win against us, let's hope you continue in SL.

The bit in bold especially, the atmosphere was tangible, in the 2nd half it actually felt like we were shouting them over the line, you could feel the link between pitch and stands.

The wigan fans I spoke to last night were excellent, I can name a couple of grounds were we might have had some grief, but the wigan fans knew what the night was all about and wished us well. good luck for the rest of the season, I just hope we can make a return trip next season.
