Pubs in Horsforth were packed to the rafters as people turned out in force to cheer Leeds United to a win against Plymouth that secured the Championship title.
The Old Kings Arms on Town Street held a promotion party and the cherry on the cake was Leeds United securing the title with a win away on the last day of the season.
Leeds United fans were joined in the Kings by local Coventry City fans who joined in the party whilst they waited for news of their own team’s fortunes. In the end Coventry beat Middlesbrough in their final game and secured a place in the play offs with a view to a potential return to the Premier League:
Over in the Black Bull fans also gathered in numbers to follow the game.
It was a nervy crowd at half time with Leeds one nil down at the break despite dominating possession. But after a second half equaliser and a late winner the celebrations could officially begin.
At the top of Town Street at the Malt Brewhouse hundreds more gathered for the match and following celebrations.
Down the road in the Horsforth Hotel it was standing room only as locals gathered to cheer their team on with the celebrations continuing into the night.
The title celebrations continue today (Monday) with an open top bus parade in Leeds city centre.
