Any other Fax fans heading down?

Should be a decent night or two int capital, and hopefully a good game.

Yer the only SL game we go to now, my 30th Final in a row!
There are 10 of us going down on the Grand Central train on Friday, 2 more meeting us down there and 2 more on the Cup Final day.

There is always plenty of Fax shirts down at Wembley.

5 of us going down on grand central Friday!

£30 return...£15 match ticket......some below par standard hostel in Kings Cross and loadser beer money!

Bring it on

Me and my partner going down Saturday staying overnight,my 41st CC Final

Who's playing ?

Best team in the league against the most boring to watch apparently.

Just heard on tonight's Look North that Leeds have 5K tickets unsold from their allocation, if that's true it's disgraceful !

Good luck to Bally's two Brooksbank school sides who are playing in their respective finals, one of them is the curtain raiser at Wembley.

I do not wish to display my ignorance,

But, what is a Challenge Cup Final?

It sound like something that happened in the late 80's,

Perhaps '87 and '88?

Going down first thing sat on train, then back after game. First final been to for ages. Let's see what the new place is like, fond memories of the old place.

Looking forward to it, should be a good day, will be there in mi fax shirt.

6 of us going down friday staying until Monday as going nottinghill carnival too, not missed a final in years. Always good weekend!!

Anybody got a really good place to go when they stop in London as we have tried several areas and it has been a bit hit and miss, more miss?
We are in Cricklewood this year hoping that works better than Acton.

The Savoy Hotel(river rooms). Everytime.

Was gutted when it shut for three years for refurbishments - had to slum it in The Dorchester instead.

Cricklewood sounds ghastly.

Anyone else noticed that Jamie Child & Robert Hicks are named as T/J's for the final ?
Both full time RFL referee's, good motivation for the genuine T/J's who've been at it for years.......

Yer sure.

You know, the Challenge Cup Final used to be something i really looked forwards to. Now however nothing would please me more than to see half empty stands. Same goes with the four nations where this year for the first time i will be supporting Aus and hoping they hammer the poop out of England. Aus is my adopted country, and so disillusioned am i with the RFL all i want to see is them repeatedly humiliated and the Kangaroos are the team to do it. Sad and bitter, but fairness and loyalty never gets you anywhere with the RFL.
