I'll be there in my shirt, probably a bit p*ssed, shouting at Wire fans for being... primerily from Warrington. Do you fancy meeting up before the game for a beverage? I probably wont have thrown up by then.

I can imagine you being the type who would sit with a tartan rug over your legs to keep warm, quietly clapping when we score and telling people who shout and cheer to be quiet. Also complaining about everything about the game being thoroughly miserable throughout before leaving early to 'beat the traffic'.

and fwiw, i'll be there in the Leeds end with my fellow leeds fans with my Leeds top on shouting and singing at the top of my voice to back the team I support. I'll enjoy watching creeps like William eve sitting by themselves shaking their head in disbelief at every play in the match moaning at the quality of play. Life is short, live it ffs.

Quite amused by the idea people buy a ticket from the RFL, like many other Leeds fans (apparently), and then revel in the fact that they'll be sitting amongst neutrals

Don't revel in sitting with neutrals, certainly there are usually plenty sat amongst us, and I don't mind people drinking. I shout and cheer my team on but choose not to stand in the southstand or go with the club as I don't really appreciate blokes vomiting and swearing round my young family. And there is a large eliment of chavs who cannot handle their beer. I appreciate it's a free country and people can do what they want that's why I get tickets away from that. We still enjoy the atmosphere without the vomit

Which is exactly what I don't get. I've been to many a final, always in the Leeds end, and the majority of times had a great time, including last year. It's a big event and people will get too drunk and some will cause trouble, neutral or otherwise. Vomit is certainly not exclusive to Leeds.

You tend not to get the chav neutral fans thought.
Don't get me wrong I have been in Leeds end and southstand before in youth but with a young child prefer to go through the RFL.
Don't think it just Leeds it's whoever is playing the game. It means more to these fans and as a result the language is a bit more industrial and you get more of a chav eliment coming to the game. Generally I personally have found the atmosphere more pleasant with our RFL tickets

Fair points and I see what you're saying. There are some that get a bit like that, but we've been lucky enough not to really have any bad experiences in all the finals we've been to.

I've never had any problems at a final, where ever we've been sat. Well not that I've noticed anyway as I'm always very drunk.

Ditto. I buy directly from the RFL site due to the fact I can buy tickets easier and still be sat amongst Leeds fans.

And I will probably go back to going into the southstand and home end at big finals (hopefully) when my little one is older but at current age don't think I would appreciate it. Instead of going into the end and moaning at people for use of language etc moved out of it.

I do get your point though about your little one. I have a 4 year old and I wouldn't feel to comfortable about him attending a Final just yet.

Never understood the 'hard on' some fans get with ticket sales, i'd go and watch it even if i was the only one in there, and it'd still mean as much to me to win it.

I'll be going with a bus load of neutrals, and there will probably be plenty of drunkeness and vomit involved I'm sure, though the vomit is usually after the game.

At the CC final its not usually as bad with a earlier kick off, and longer travel etc. Old trafford is usually where I've had problems, but never really that bad
