We were there yesterday. I saw one person wearing a Leigh shirt. A chap wearing a "71" replica top and a wide-brimmed hat somewhere near entrance M, but I didn't get chance to speak to him. I doubt if it was on telly, but A J Murphy was interviewed briefly at half time by the MC. When asked about his favourite Wembley moment, he went for 1971, without much hesitation. Couldn't really tell if there was much reaction from Warrington and Leeds fans. "Nice" Leeds fan in our section - mostly family deal ticket holders - chanting "Die, Die" in front of his own kid when they were replaying the Hodgson incident on the video screens. Only topped by Pie fan telling his mother to push our son (age 11) out of the way as we got back on the train. I don't think he was joking. However, 2 out of a possible 70 odd thousand isn't bad going, and I was pleased that, overall, the final is still a good-humoured event - it's the first we've been to since 1999, and we used to go nearly every year before that from the early 80's as we lived in North London. I've been to a few SL Grand Finals, and there has been much more edge to the atmosphere.
