I doubt that'll be a problem, tbh. Yes, there will be United fans following the Rhinos, but not all United fans are hooligans and that element is not attracted by big, expensive games with high scrutiny and no "rivals". They're after the opposite, from what I know about it. I'd be amazed if there was any substantial trouble at the game.

Of course you are welcome to look & post on our board. My point is why are you doing it in the first place and then starting a thread about Wigan after you've just got to Wembley? Wigan get to Wembley, I know I'll nip on the Wire board - eh? You should be celebrating. I did look on your board, but it's not my team that's played today.

I thought we were supposed to be the bitter (and childish) ones?

A wire win i think just hope for an good of RL like on sat

No need to worry on that score. Leeds UTD are away at Watford on the day of the final

I don't care which of the two win the CC as long as it is a good game and both teams knock seven bells out of each other. Let's just hope both teams are knackered for the playoffs and we can have a nice big derby day at OT

As a Wire fan, I know that beating Leeds will be a tough ask - they are pretty good and experienced in big finals (albeit mostly at Old Trafford rather than Wembley recently). The big question mark over us is that we haven't beaten one of the big teams this season but if you're going to do it, then no place better than Wembley.

Don't bite

Im definitely shouting for a Leeds win





Indeed, on the flip side though there is nowhere worse to lose

Think we will take our chances



Thats what it is all about getting to the finals and testing your arm.

Want Leeds to win but think Wire will tbh.



I fully agree with him. As a Wigan fan growing up during the '8 in a row' the cup will always be my priority at the start of the season.

The thing is... With the cup now being in August, it makes it even more difficult for a team to do the double.

I think the cup should be moved back to May.

Then you have cup matches that are your first game of the season which shouldn't happen.

But the Double should be difficult to achieve. If the Double was achieved every season it would lose its value. Only the elite of the elite win The Double, thats how it should be.

Next season I'd love to win at Wembley. But this season has been great, winning week in, week out for the fisrt time since 2001 really. Its been a refreshing change.

hmm yet another person who cant read properly,first off i was complementing one of your fans,secondly if you bothered to read properly in first place you would see im not refering to all wigan fans.go read the post again then maybe you might want to edit your post.

Not overly d who wins as its only a "win a few games and get a cup",big deal. I,ll save the celebrations for our season long campaign trophy,so much harder to win. BUT on their day I might just be cheering for super Ryan Bailey,JJB,Ablett and all my other favourite Yorkshire buddies (for a day) to absolutely batter and humiliate the other scum of rugby league (wire)
Dare I say " C'mon Leeds" ?

i didnt start any thread about wigan,and dont think ive even posted on the thread,as for posting on here,well thread is headed leeds v wire???

Is that because we turn up in our thousands, don't stop singing, and support the team?, or is it some notion that we are all hooligans. A bit rich coming from the most blinkered supporters in the league.

It is the final the authorities wanted to change the usual so lets hope it is a good clean non referee decided match.

On something else can anyone tell me when we were last drawn at home against Leeds in the Challenge Cup and how many times away, just for interest as I can't remember a home tie not in the last 20 years or so.

Much as it pains me to say it......I think it will be a great, and very noisy final.
Dislike Leeds 'cos they come from the dark side of the Pennines - And some of their fans are so aloof these days, its unbearable.
Dislike Dire 'cos Warrington is a blot on the pretty county i now reside in - And (if i'm totally honest) [size=50they can be frighteningly good on their day.[/size
A genuine threat to our GF ambitions.
I actually turned the game off today, and watched England playing cricket instead. Les Cats were never in the contest and the outcome was pretty obvious after the first 20.
To be fair, it was best for the Final (and RL in general) that Dire won.

I only hope that they knock ten bells out of each other at Wembley - None too fussed about who wins.
Just so long as it aint The Dire..............................................Or the Whino's!

He as a right to reply if all you are doing is slagging wire off again. Because we have gone one step a head of you again in the cup and you got nothing better to do is moan and slagg off other teams because they done one better and actually reached a final!

Lancashire over Yorkshire surely


Disappointed Catalans didn't get there, but I'm looking forward to a cracking weekend in London and hopefully a belting game.

Come again.......



FAIL

Jesus mate, you really want to have a damn good read of what some of your compatriots post on this board, time and again, week after week. And then maybe have a big fat can of STFU?

Seriously if you're a genuine wire fan you'd understand some of the reactions on here, just as most of us understand when you flame a few of the Wigan fans on your board.

I'd wager quite a lot of the dislike for your club is engendered by some of the 'personalities' you have as fans, and the way they express themselves, either in person or on these boards. And yes I know they're a tiny minority and all clubs have them, but as you'll have noticed from ours, they REALLY stick out and drown out almost anything else.

Personally I want there to be one Winner, Rugby League. If you can both put on a good game, it should be a great final, and i'll happily applaud the best play from both teams.
