Another Castleford supporter couldn’t hide his joy at returning to the stands.

The excitement was palpable among Twitter.

One man was even getting emotional at the thought of being back.

A promotional video from Hull FC welcoming back fans produced “goosebumps” from one ardent supporter.

Another Hull fan was even void of Monday blues thanks to the return.
