You lot really are stuck in the 1990s arent you. What gives you the impression that nobody cares aobut Huddersfield the team currently sitting in 3rd place in the table.
What the RFL NEEDS is the 2 best teams teams in the final if that is Wigan and Saints so be it and im sure it would be a great final. As would Wire v Hudds if they win there games at the weekend.

NO "WE" aren't - don't get carried away with the opinion of 1 Wiganer, who's view does not represent the majority.

Probably the fact that they're third in the table and still struggle to register with ordinary people as a force. Outside of the RL world, no one has heard of Huddersfield Giants. They've heard of Wigan and St Helens, though.
This is RL's showpiece event, so they need the two star names there. It's like trying to sell the new hollywood blockbuster with John Smith and Jane Jones starring, instead of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

It's just one poster with his blinkers on.
Like I said a Huddersfield v Wigan final would give the media a lot to go at.

Really? What excites you more? The prospect of Wigan V St Helens in the CC final, or Warrington V Huddersfield?

I got accused of having a chip on my shoulder the other day and this probably wont help, but like it or not Wigan are still seen as a big club to the non rugby fan.
And to be fair people in Huddersfield dont really care about Hudersfield. With half price season tickets, didnt they only sell like 3% more.
Now im not saying they wouldnt sell their allocation for Wembley, but Wigan Saints or Warrington Saints will be seen as a much bigger tie.

| Think Warrington vs Saints is the RFL's Dream Tie this year. Mainly due to the travelling following, if Wigan reached the final, we'd yet again see returned allocations.
Primrose & Blue at Wembley -

| This is a great post
I think that Wigan and Saints should be given their own 2 team league to play in each season.
You could have 6 or 7 regular season games culminating in a Challenge Cup at Wembley and a Grand Final at Old Trafford.
Hope you get your wish my pie munching friend - the world will be a better place

| I think the BBC would want two teams in the final whose towns are Rugby League through and through.
Huddersfield- The place that RL was born
Saints- True Rugby town
Warrington- True rugby town
IMO, it wont do anything for the sport if a football town gets into the Challenge cup final. Football gets enough press

No, the media thrives of rivalries, spats and percieved 'hatred'.
In any case, Hudderfield is just a nothing Yorkshire town that no one cares about, and other then being the site of the George, offers nothing except the odd cobbled motorway.'"
You mean YOU dont care about it, what about huddersfield fans??? You speak for yourself, and your making yourself look like an idiot. The teams that win deserve to get there, if it was 'what the bbc wanted' then what would be the point in other teams playing it. Another biased wigan fan, and i know most wigan fans are ok, but you my friend need waking up

It gets quite expensive having to go to the final 12 times in 25 years.
If you only go every Preston Guild, its bound to be a novelty for a small village like yours so the bandwagoners are bound to snap up the tickets.

Small Village - are you thick? Warrington is larger than Wigan.

| Huddersfield in the final would be a bloody hard team for anyone to beat.
Rugby League doesn't need a Wigan v Saints final. It needs a final that will showcase the best our sport has to offer in this comp - this will be done by the best getting through the semis.
To be honest, I don't know why I've replied - stupidest topic ever.

| i reckon from a geographical and historical view hudds (yorks) v Wigan (ok its in GM, but close enough to Lancs) is the best.
roses final
or would folk prefer a cheshire v merseyside (sefton) final.
i'll go for the roses final......it'll apeal more the the rugby league public in lancs and yorks.
