Count me out then because Huddersfield is Yorkshire interests!

Anything is more interesting than a Saints v whoever bar Leeds Rhinos challenge cup final because you really don’t know whose going to win. Huddersfield are good on a consistent basis but Warrington with the players they’ve got can beat anyone on their day. If lee Briars and Michael Monahan is on top form then you could have major problems. But other than them two Huddersfield have the far superior team to beat Warrington in the challenge cup.

I’m not putting crosses on a calendar heading towards this date but I’m sure come cup week my excitement for the game will grow. Till then it’s a long way away!

Oh aye, a whole 12 days

I'll be tuning in on 5 Live (assuming no wendyball takes over

) on the way home from Devon.

Each day is a grind for me

I am looking forward to it.The fact that two of the teams are not the "usual",then it should create interest.But that can only happen with the media coverage,,(BBC and National newspapers)....But for the fans of the game it could well be a cracker.

Going purely for the fact that it's two 'unfancied' sides.

Was going to go last year but binned the idea when Saints won the semi. Seen them win a lot of trophies, so this year is more attractive to me certainly.

I know I am hardly neutral, but surely this game has a lot of attraction for RL fans at least, and any casual fans who watch the big games on the BBC.

The last two years have been okay, but you always felt that Saints were going to take the Cup, despite a good effort from Hull last year.

The TV audience isn't massive, and I think people that have a passing interest in the game will have seen the Semis and will realise that Wire and Hudds are no mugs and this could be a cracker.

The fact that nobody really knows who will win has to be a positive (the fact that the bookies have Wire as favourites, despite Hudds favourable league position shows the uncertainty that surrounds the game).

I'll be there with 3 other members of my family.
Hoping for a yorkshire win.

I will be flying over for a cracking weekend and hopefully a cracking game.
If its anything like the last occassion that two unfancied teams met-Hull and Leeds

it will be a cracker.
Bring on the craic!!

This year will be my 11th on the bounce and I get my tickets not long after the last final has concluded.

Been a bit bored the last couple of years with the finals .... The Catalans one was always going to be overshadowed by the mere fact of them 'getting there' and the one last year was vaguely interesting by virtue that Hull managed to actually get in the lead at one point, but in reality everyone knew Saints had loads left in the tank when they needed to.

This year, you can't really call it either way who might win it .... Really looking forward to it.

I'm giving it a miss this year for the first time in many years. I would have anyway if Saints had reached the final, I'm stoney broke and another £250 experiencing Wembley again wasn't high on the agenda.

I'm excited about it as a contest but I don't think the general public is at all capitvated by it, there is none of the usual buzz about it, although that may come next week. I remember last year there was a lot of talk about it, they featured it on Radio 1, Moyles talked about it etc. Be interesting to see if this final creates any media interest.

I reckon the crowd will be good. Warrington will probably break records given how giddy they are about their big day out but Huddersfield will counter that with an average turnout. Nudging 75,000 I reckon.

Don't really get that tbh.

I haven't heard much about RL on the Moyles show in recent months. I know last year they went along to Fev, and I think they talked about it a lot more then.

I wouldn't expect the fact that it was Saints v Hull last year to have got them excited about it, as they aren't that knowledgable about the game anyway.

Comedy Dave also went to college in Warrington, so if anything, I would expect more talk about it, so I don;t think the fact that Moyles hasn't discussed it is a reflection of lack of media interest.

The Challenge Cup gets very little media interest each year, and this year is no different IMHO.

I've actually heard Comedy Dave Berate rugby of both codes on his show (he's a big Everton fan) and Moyles has argued in favour of R.L.

So i'm not expecting Dave to be any different this year,even though as you say he spent a fair bit of his life in Warrington..

Really looking forward to the final this year... much more than any other year

I'm really looking forward to it, but no Tyke is ever neutral when we're playing foreigners.

Another step on the road to making the Challenge Cup a non event.

I got my ticket ages ago. Wasn't very bothered about it, excited for the weekend. But now it's 2 different teams - neither of which I mind winning really, has totally changed my mind. Now I can't wait for the weekend, especially the game..

Seconded

do we get an explanation then ?

He is a tool?

the CC is currently at my work...

He's probably refering to your constant laying on at the ptb and slowing the game down. Not so sure myself but a lot of people call it cheating.

The lack of a glamour club in the final!

I'm sure the fans watching the game will cope!
