Rosette making is confined to Wigan.

They are currently counting the cost of their arrogance with 25,000 2012 Grand Final branded Cherry and White rosettes being currently stashed away with the Chocolate fireguards in a warehouse in Ince.

Wake up to a cool crisp Autumnal morning. Work out my layering system for the day ahead and feast on a hearty breakfast, protein,carbohydrate and fibre in vast amounts. Watch my wife change her clothing 10 or 11 times then head off to Whinmoor to pick my old fella up for a late fitness test on his nackered knee. It's the Grand Final, we'll pump him full of cortisone and head off to Methley to pick my mate up. There may be a few Castleford stragglers out that way so any Cas shirts will receive our best wishes and accompanying hand signals as we leave the enclave. A couple of beers in scumchester before we alight our vehicle and head towards an offy for some strong Polish lager near Old T. Drink said beer "Eric Morecambe" style so as to fool the local plod before we enter the "Theatre of wet dreams" to roar the blue'n'amber onto another Grand Final victory. If there's anything important I've forgot let me know.

Leisurely breakfast with the better half whilst deciding upon number of layers, etc to wear.
Luncheon at HQ with the prawn sandwich brigade.
Coach over to OT.
Watch Sir Kev lead the team to yet another win.
Back to HQ for supper and to meet the champions.
Home to bed around midnight.
Sorted!!

Im taking my little boy for the first time. Hes 2yr 10mth. Theres 9 of us going altogether, but ive decided to drive as Wembley went by in a drunken blur for me

Plan is to park on that estate of numbered streets, 1st, 2nd, 3rd ave etc. can usually find a free spot. Theres a good little pub there called the Village Inn. Get settled in there for a few hours then get in to ground for 5ish and soak up the atmosphere.

Took him to the Wakey PO match and he loved it, cant wait to see what hes like at Old Trafford!!

["Rhinoshaund III"]....Plan is to park on that estate of numbered streets, 1st, 2nd, 3rd ave etc. can usually find a free spot.

Will miss our usual banter in the Ex Servicemens Club......can't see the wires being as accomodating as saints....good luck!

Sandwiches made, drinks prepared, setting off in an hour. Fingers crossed we make it for kick off.....

Good luck today Ladies and Gentlemen hope to bump into a few of you later. I think it's a big ask for leeds today but I'm sure your team will give it everything . Can anyone recommend a good Chinese within a mile or two of the stadium ?
