Picking up the phone and ringing the RL and driving down on the day....easy

great work

i'm on holiday that week in the back of beyond in Wales at the world alternative games. i'm interrupting the holiday to head to wembley and back on the saturday. there's some irony in this as in 2005 i was at the leeds festival and missed the saturday to drive to cardiff and back. of course if this year's final was in cardiff it would have been a jolly little jaunt of an hour or so, but instead i've got a lengthy journey on country lanes an b roads and wont see a motorway until swindon.

but lets hope it a good omen

Jesus mate,have done the drive in wales on country roads and I don't envy you

I hope so great effort, I once thought it a good idea to have a week in Newquay wales and a week in Skegness 8 hours drive later I arrived in skeggy never again it look so little on the map as well, safe journey and as you say its an omen TBH there's a lot of Omens which are pointing the same as they did in 2005 our route to the final been one all tough super league teams is one which sticks out

I'll be using the M6 near Birmingham on the day. Never easy

Refused to book family holiday which clashed. Thankfully found a cruise to Norwegian fjords which docks in Southampton 06.00 Saturday !!!!

Thanks to the lads for keeping family harmony & restoring my faith in the team to deliver.

Sure I'll be the only one at brekkie in an FC shirt !!

On a family holiday in North Wales from 20th to 27th August. I knew it was RL Cup Final weekend but thought, what the hell, I'll sort it if necessary.

When we beat Catalans I immediately booked a day return from Chester to London Euston on the 27th, just in case.

So, on the day of the final, I will now be getting a taxi around 7am to Prestatyn rail station, train to Chester, then connecting to a train at Crewe on the West Coast main line down to London Euston for which I have a pre booked seat.

So, I ask myself, just how many Warrington fans will be on the West Coast main line train when I board at Crewe in my Hull shirt?

And how will I fare on the return journey on the same day if we win?

I'm coming from Aus for the fifth time for Hull Wembley CC finals. Didn't come for the last couple against Wigan and Saints. Went to the other 2 when I lived in England.

A final against Warrington is what I have always wanted. My first visit to Wembley for a CC final saw a Warrington win(1950).

This will be my last.

Let's hope the journey's worth it

Lets hope it is for us all.
I don't wanna be sat on the steps round the side of [iThe Torch[/i pub again, on my own, after the masses had gone, staring into a half empty plastic glass of Stella, in the pouring rain.
At least it disguised what was running down my face。

My 2 favourite teams in Super League. How can I lose? Similar to when I came for the 1980 final and took my mum who was a Rovers supporter.

Or just his thighs...

Some top efforts here already



I'll be in the car on Friday then back on Sunday. Kind of easy compared to some

Leaving wife and family in Turkey las two days ,had to book another flight to gatwick,hotel in Brent,and then train on sunday back to leeds bradford .cost a bit but could not miss this Final,been to every final not missing this

A colleague who is a School Teacher in Oman in the UAE, is flying in on the Thursday evening after school and has got a return flight booked on the Saturday evening after the Final, so he can get back for School on the Sunday morning (In Oman, Friday and Saturday are the weekend days). Hope the boys make it a fully worthwhile visit for him!!!.

Some people are doing extraordinary things to get there.

I have offered to not drink, and will drive myself, my sister and my brother in law to the game and back.

Thanks.

Extraordinary!

I'll have 2 in Torch before the game, should see me right

great effort tough to beat this lol

Started a thread on Facebook asking who wanted tickets. My brother left the comment "One for me please

"

He lives in Freemantle.

I won't lie, I had to google it.

I'll be walking 5 minutes to the Bakerloo line station, getting the first tube that comes along, changing at Baker St, and then sitting down until we get to Wembley ;0)

Another long distance traveller reported in the HDM

Western Australia is not that far compared to the distance some are coming. I'll tell him its not that impressive.

I hope its worth it. A Wembley win is on all of our bucket lists but it seems a lot less likely at times than "7. Go into space" and "91. Punch Rupert Murdoch"
