So no pics , no autographs. Now Leeds have tweeted that you cannot enter the ground due to the cricket.

"Because of cricket, fans coming down to wave players off should gather on St Michael's Lane nr Gate B as you won't be able to get in ground"

Go play with the traffic

Please pass this on to the players.

I'll make more of an effort when they get back if they make more of an effort whilst they're down there.

Confident then. Hope Leeds can recapture their form of two years ago and bring the cup home to .... Yorkshire. There I've said it.

Someone please post a photo from Gate B on St Michaels Lane as a comparison to the crowd from Wigan who were there to wave off a coach that wasn't taking the team to Wembley as they had been misled into thinking ?

God bless them all.

I wonder how far the coach got before it stopped and they all had to get off, I do hope it was out of sight of all those grannies in their knitted scarves.

Had a chuckle over this Brigantes Wigan cheer squad that a lot of their fans have in their avatars...

Why have they named themselves after a tribe with its capital in Yorkshire?

The Roman name for Wigan was Coccium...

We're going down on th'buzzzz to Coccium, cock.

Good thread this.

They'll be that many striped shirts and bobble hats on show, Euston will look like a 'Wheres Wally' convention ...

Is that really the best you can do ?
With comments like that you really should be on the Edinburgh fringe .

Anyhow, thanks for the entertainment during the last two weeks, most of it has been given and taken in the true spirit of the game.
Lets hope its a great game and that we show the kick & clap brigade what the oval shaped ball was designed for.
Have a safe journey there and back, and of course may the best (Wigan) team win .

Hope we see some good picks of the Hicks returning to the sticks/Hickville

I counted 11 Norweb shirts, 2 flat caps and only a few rosettes.
