This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bramley Buffaloes''' is an amateur [[rugby league]] club based in West [[Leeds]], [[West Yorkshire]], [[England]]. 

The club was formed in 2000 following the demise of the [[Bramley RLFC|original Bramley club]] that they are considered a continuation of.

==History==
===2000-2004:Foundations===
At the end of the 1999 season [[Bramley RLFC]] resigned from the [[Northern Ford Premiership]] after years of financial issues. The club applied to rejoin the [[Northern Ford Premiership]] in 2000 with the intention of becoming a feeder club for [[Leeds Rhinos]] and playing home games at [[Farsley Celtic A.F.C.|Farsley Celtics]] [[Throstle Nest]] however they were rejected in favour of a bid from [[Gateshead Thunder (1999)|Gateshead Thunder]].

A new supporter owned club was quickly formed and applied again the join the [[Northern Ford Premiership]] in 2001 which would have seen the club playing out of [[Farsley Celtic|Farsley Celtics]] [[Throstle Nest]] stadium, however the RFL rejected the bid over the ground not meeting minimum standards.<ref>((cite web|date=23 October 2011|title=Rugby League: Outdated game set for radical changes|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby-league-outdated-game-set-for-radical-changes-1386873.html|access-date=8 April 2021|website=The Independent))</ref> 

The new club tried again to apply to play in the newly formed third division [[RFL League 1|National League Two]] in 2003, this time ground sharing with [[Morley R.F.C.|Morley Rugby Union Club]]. The club was once again rejected despite the ground meeting minimum standards, the RFL were unhappy the club was playing outside of Bramley. In the end the RFL accepted the club into [[Rugby League Conference National Division|National League Three]], the highest level of amateur rugby league, for the 2004 season. 

===2004-2013: Conference and success===
Bramleys first game against [[Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks]] drew a crowd of more than 1,200 at [[Stanningley|Stanningley's Arther Miller Stadium]]. Coached by Phil Hellewell, the club reached the National League Three semi-finals, losing to eventual champions [[Coventry Bears]]. The following season the club finished second in the league and made the Grand Final, losing 28-26 to League Leaders [[Bradford Dudley Hill]].

Ahead of the 2006 season, ex [[Bradford Bulls]] player, [[Paul Cook (rugby league)|Paul Cook]] was appointed head coach. Under Cook Bramley finished the season as League Leaders and won the Grand Final, beating [[Hemel Stags]] 30–8. 2007 was another successful year for Bramley with club again finishing the season as League Leaders but were beaten by [[Featherstone Lions]] in the Grand Final.

The club again finished the season as League Leaders but failed to win the Grand Final in 2008, losing to Celtic Crusaders Colts. In November, Paul Cook left his post as head coach to take up an assistant coach role at [[Huddersfield Giants|Huddersfield]]. Mark Butterill was appointed head coach with Jon Nicholls being appointed assistant coach.

Bramley finished 2009 as League Leaders for a fourth year in a row and champions for a second time. 2010 was also a successful season with the club crowned League Leaders for a fifth time in a row but lost in the Grand Final to Warrington Wizards.

Butterill left the club at the end of the season and [[Peter Roe (rugby league)|Peter Roe]] was appointed head coach for the 2011 season but left in April due to poor results. Australian [[Chris Gardner (rugby league)|Chris Gardner]] took over till the end of the season but could not prevent the club finishing bottom of the league. 

In 2012 the amateur game aligned with the professional game by switching from playing in winter to summer. The Rugby League Conference was subsequently became absorbed into the [[National Conference League]] creating a fourth division, [[National Conference League|NCL Division Three]]. Bramley finished 5th in NCL Division 3 before losing in the Elimination Playoff to Warrington Wizards.

Bramley had to apply to the NCL to stay in the league for the following season however their application was rejected by the League and were instead entered the newly formed [[Yorkshire Men's League]] for the 2013 season.

===2013-present: Yorkshire Mens League===
Steve Gill took charge of Bramleys first season in the Yorkshire Mens League. At the end of the season Bramley agreed a merger with local side Rodley Rockets. The merger would see Bramley retain their name, colours and heritage but they would play at Rodleys Canal Bank Ground and take on their junior teams in the hope of being able to apply to rejoin the NCL.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.rugby-league.com/article/24548/bramley-complete-merger |title=Bramley complete merger |publisher=RFL |date=8 January 2014 |access-date=28 March 2024))</ref> initially the merger was a success with the Buffaloes winning the YML Premier Division, defeating West Hull in the Grand Final.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.rugby-league.com/article/25489/buffaloes-are-champions |title=Buffaloes are champions |publisher=RFL |date=29 September 2014 |access-date=28 March 2024))</ref> Unfortunately the merger with Rodley only lasted 12 months after issues playing at Canal Bank meaning the club had to play on Stanningley Park and poor junior participation. In the aftermath of this a new junior club was set up in 2015, confusingly called Bramley RL despite having no links with the Buffaloes.

Despite a successful season the year previous, on 16 April 2015, the club announced that they had to pull out of the Yorkshire Men's League for the 2015 season, due to having no coach and a lack of players.

The club returned in 2016, playing in Bramley for the first time since 1995 having agreed with Bramley Phoenix Rugby Union Club to use their ground. The club were placed in Division 5 and appointed ex [[Hunslet R.L.F.C.|Hunslet]] and [[Carlisle RLFC|Carlisle]] player Steve Langton.

Midway through the 2021 season Bramley left Bramley Pheonix and moved to ground share with West Leeds RUFC.
