Is it right that 9 different clubs will have contested the final in the last decade?

Yep, Saints, Hudds, Catalans, Hull, Wire, Leeds, Wigan, Cas, Rovers.

Got em this morning and been to brid for the day.

Good lad. Taking 30,000 is a great achievement.

Well the circle if friends I have of a B&W persuasion think very differently and would love to get the monkey of their back. Maybe they're the exception but as I say I think most honest fans would say it hurts, annoys whatever. Irrelevant at this point anyway, if we win at the end of the month we'll have something else to harp on about for a while.

agree I would love to win at Wembley, maybe next year lol, But that day in Cardiff was magical for me, and one which is etched in my mind forever, I preferred the old Wembley and the tradition that surrounded it, but the new Wembley is an awesome stadium and one you will love,

Will Leeds or Kr win a different cup to the one we won in 2005 ?

Good luck to KR. Their run reminds me of ours in 2005. They've beaten some good sides, and if they can overcome a Leeds team on a mission to see Sinfield and Peacock off on a high they will deserve the trophy.



The Wembley thing is a red herring. That was a long time ago, and what happens now bears no resemblance to then. I want a strong rivalry in the city. That will stage off any motives to merge. Whatever the result on the 29th, I hope it's a good game and the best team wins.

There are no crap views, that is the best bit of the stadium, the rest is all very meh, IMO it's a souless place, looks bloody awful and not 'iconic' & it certainly isn't 'awesome', or 'magical'.

The pitch has always been bang average, for a national stadium that cost virtually a billion pounds it sucks, the Millenium stadium is better in every aspect aside from maybe the view which is on a par.



As for winning at wembley just to kill the hoodoo, I couldn't care less, winning wherever the final would be is just as gratifying, and yes I remember every one of the finals in between including sitting on the coach almost in tears as a young teen because I couldn't get into Ellend Rd.

I'd be more ecstatic with a GF win though tbh.

Goodness that's a whole decade ago, hard to remember.



I googled Wembley winners, no mention of you. Other search engines are available still nothing.

Well if 10 years is a long time ago, how about 35. Almost pre-history.

Why?



Serious question as I've never understood this. All that bothers me is winning or losing, not the venue.
