Any other Fax fans heading down?

Should be a decent night or two int capital, and hopefully a good game.

Yer the only SL game we go to now, my 30th Final in a row!
There are 10 of us going down on the Grand Central train on Friday, 2 more meeting us down there and 2 more on the Cup Final day.

There is always plenty of Fax shirts down at Wembley.

5 of us going down on grand central Friday!

£30 return...£15 match ticket......some below par standard hostel in Kings Cross and loadser beer money!

Bring it on

Me and my partner going down Saturday staying overnight,my 41st CC Final

Who's playing ?

Best team in the league against the most boring to watch apparently.

Just heard on tonight's Look North that Leeds have 5K tickets unsold from their allocation, if that's true it's disgraceful !

Good luck to Bally's two Brooksbank school sides who are playing in their respective finals, one of them is the curtain raiser at Wembley.

I do not wish to display my ignorance,

But, what is a Challenge Cup Final?

It sound like something that happened in the late 80's,

Perhaps '87 and '88?

Going down first thing sat on train, then back after game. First final been to for ages. Let's see what the new place is like, fond memories of the old place.

Looking forward to it, should be a good day, will be there in mi fax shirt.

6 of us going down friday staying until Monday as going nottinghill carnival too, not missed a final in years. Always good weekend!!

Anybody got a really good place to go when they stop in London as we have tried several areas and it has been a bit hit and miss, more miss?
We are in Cricklewood this year hoping that works better than Acton.

The Savoy Hotel(river rooms). Everytime.

Was gutted when it shut for three years for refurbishments - had to slum it in The Dorchester instead.

Cricklewood sounds ghastly.

Anyone else noticed that Jamie Child & Robert Hicks are named as T/J's for the final ?
Both full time RFL referee's, good motivation for the genuine T/J's who've been at it for years.......

Yer sure.

You know, the Challenge Cup Final used to be something i really looked forwards to. Now however nothing would please me more than to see half empty stands. Same goes with the four nations where this year for the first time i will be supporting Aus and hoping they hammer the poop out of England. Aus is my adopted country, and so disillusioned am i with the RFL all i want to see is them repeatedly humiliated and the Kangaroos are the team to do it. Sad and bitter, but fairness and loyalty never gets you anywhere with the RFL.

Or what about the Welsh beating England, that would be really ironic.

You know what, I feel the same up yours RFL and all who sail in her.

Stopped watching SL games on TV a couple years back as the standards are poor and got bored. I havent been to the Cup Final since 2008 and wont ever go again unless the RFL makes some big changes in action and attitude. I would rather watch the NRL and Championship games to be honest. I will never go to a RFL event unless Fax are in it. Why should my money go and support the likes of Wodd and co. Its a shame that there will be no banners or organized protest at the game against the RFL

Hicks dropped an almighty clanger with his decision when the ball went into touch, Bentham had a stinker all-round, between them they ruined an awesome cup final today. Shame the RFL couldn't sell or handout all the tickets for the final, far too many empty seats.
I do feel the best team on the day won the cup.

I agree, the ball clearly hit the other player last.
Definite forward pass for Wigan's try (probably 1 of many by both sides)
AND when did the play the ball rule change to say that the players foot does not have to touch the ball?
Hardly saw one play the ball done correctly.
Thought Leeds came alive when Burrows did.
Did enjoy it though, although I can not be judged as an aficionado as this was the first Super League game I gave watched since, HALIFAX

Wembley looked 2/3 full..



RFL = Fail

78482,
Don't know what the capacity is.

brilliant game - marred by bad calls across the refs and tj's - has the game forgotten the forward pass rule?

RFL propaganda again, there was 60 thousand at most. The RFL have divided the game. They have taken away our clubs dreams so why support these event. I hope the Aussies stuff the sooper dooper league players in front of a meagre 15000 crowd at Wembley.

A long long time ago.
