Why would it be Wakey's cup final?

Isn't the fact you are selling mugs evidence of this alone? I don't see you selling Hull FC mugs on there.

Embarrassing/amusing all the same.

I agree, i think its quite embarrassing but if the club think they can make money out of it then good luck to them

I think it's a great idea. I've still got two gross of "Cas 18- 12 Giants" tea towels to shift.

Is it the Wakey club that are selling these? Seriously? Wow! Is this the height of achievement for WTWRLFC. Ha ha ha!


Disco, I didn't get my order of tea towels. Did you friggin post them or what I'm losing my rag now mate.

We never received your order mate, sorry... [url=http://www.ayberspace.co.uk/ayberspace/php-files/news.php?readmore=725CLICK HERE[/url

Ha ha quality as ever mate. Like it!

Its amusing to me as a wakey fan too but did you not read my post.

Its a local derby and one of the games both sets of fans look for and enjoy getting the win from.

Glover is a businessman and if he can get £10 for every mug sold and shift a few hundred to fans who enjoyed the derby and want a memoir then he has done good business.

still don't get this cup final thing..really dont

Sorry but I don't care.

Yes, he's playing off the derby factor but I could understand had it been a massive result, say, like an 86-0?

It wasn't. It was a narrow victory and all it's done is made us look a bigger side and Wakefield's season hinges on beating us. Like I said, if victories were that important then surely beating Hull FC would be a more significant result than beating us, regardless of the table.

The significant part wasn't in the margin but the method of the win.

To come back from 20 points down with around a quarter of a match left shows character and spirit and is no small feat against any Sl club especially a derby game. This is what the marketing team are trying to play on.

You reference hull but a victory over hull although pleasing is not as sweet as a victory over one of your long term rival teams who have had a positive start. Its all to do with trying to Market products as best you can and try and bring more money into the club.

If you really think the club (which includes the players) saw that game as a cup final then I dont think you do the players themselves any justice. Perhaps your trying to cover over your concerns you have with regards to your own team being opened up like butter in the last quarter by convincing yourself that it was our "cup final", if so fine but I don't buy into your line which gets banded about far too flippantly in rl nowadays.

Not buying it still mate.

It seems like petty points scoring to me and it still smacks of us being your cup final. We didn't start selling off mugs of our 40-20 victory and I highly doubt we'd have done it had we beat you on Good Friday.

As or my concern regarding my side, yes we collapsed but it was still aided by the fact we got zilch from the man in the middle and my opinion will not change on that matter. The 8-2 penalty count in your favour is a reflection of that. I find it hard to believe that Wakefield were angelic in the second forty, getting back onside, being square etc.

But clearly we were, otherwise Mr Child would have penalised us?

As Bonzo says, you were allowed to slow the game down - that's probably why. Although, I did note several times when your players failed to get back the ten.

The penalty at the scrum was one of the most ridiculous ones I've seen, to be honest as well.
