The second paragraph is pretty much accurate - young ones apart - I personally am hoping the team play to their potential, if they do win or lose that is all you can expect. Losing was a issue for me last year - it was the manner of the loss. I will be attending hoping for the best.

Couple of hundred quid? How you getting there Golden Chariot?

Our games have both been close this season and last season, why would this be any different?

So the main reason you're not attending is the prospect of losing? What an absolute joke!

Are these not the games you start the season hoping to play in?

I'm disgusted with Rhinos fans who are not going to the game to be honest, its embarrassing for a club like Leeds to be struggling to sell out there allocation. I've never been to a final where the Leeds fans have been out numbered but think thats going to change this year, but don't people realise it's better for the team if they get a massive support? I know it hasn't been a great season for the club but we are now in with a good shout of lifting the trophy which we haven't won for 12 years.

I've got a good feeling this year, it's going to be a backs to the wall performance and if we do manage to pull it off then it's shame on all the glory hunters for not turning up because they don't think we're in with a shout. The Rhinos website is resorting to trying to shame people into coming and its a sad state of affairs when you have to resort to that!

You've never been to a final where the Leeds fans were outnumbered? Gave 2005 a miss did you? Don't remember 2000 being much of a turn-out either actually.

If it's better for the team, maybe the club should pay people to go. Otherwise it's their money, their choice and trying to shame people into buying your product is pretty pathetic anyway.

I might still go, but if I eventually decide my money is better spent on my ongoing house decorations, or stuff for the imminent first El Diablo Junior then it will have nothing to do with whether I think we're going to win. I've seen us lose enough finals in my time to cope with that.

When I'm deciding whether to go, I will keep your shame and disgust in mind though. Honest.

If I don't go and we do pull it off I will pledge never to go to another CC final involving Leeds again, as it will prove beyond reasonable doubt that I'm cursed.

Went to both those finals lad and the turn out from both sets of supporters seemed even to me, no excuses mate you're obviously a fair weather supporter.

Posh git!

And you've obviously got a shortage of genuinely important things going on in your life. I used to think RL was the be all and end all and went to every game no matter what, for many, many years. There was nothing much going on that was more important back then.

I don't need excuses, I'll spend my time and money however I see fit. You do the same and keep your beak out of what other people do with theirs and we'll get along famously.

If the split of supporters in 2005 seemed even you'll have no worries, it'll probably seem even this year too.

Touchy, think i hit a nerve there.

If you mean you got on my nerves, correct. In your defence, you just happen to be the person I replied to having got bored of reading similar bilge from lots of people for the past x years.

It annoyed me plenty when I was one of those going to every game. I don't mind admitting that I find it even more annoying now.

However, I sincerely hope you enjoy your day at Wembley, having made your own choice to go, and if you're really lucky I might see you there. If I have any spare cash left when I've paid the builder and bought a pram and if the weather's fair.

Mate - you're being a n0b. Just shut up.
