I'd take the op up on his offer but I've already got tickets. There was absolutely no chance of my boys getting there and I've known that since 2007 ![]()
I get your point but my case I don't "hate" any team and I would hate to think that it would ever get to how football is.. I have been to a couple of grand finals in the past which obviously don't have Huddersfield in it and really enjoyed the occasion. This final though, I just don't fancy watching any of those teams lift the trophy hence why I was offering the tickets.

I have 2 tickets for the Sir Alex Ferguson stand in block N1406. Pretty good seats, probably somewhere between the half way line and the 40.
Any offers?

Sent you a pm without reply, I might be interested if you still have them and don't want to go. |

Bit late to the thread but I have to disagree with this. RL finals are packed with neutrals and any "hate" that exists within the culture of the game very rarely goes beyond good natured passion. Last year I was sat in the Wire end, though there were various other fans dotted around too including other Wiganers, and the banter was great. You wouldn't get that in the other game.
Anyway as far as the OP goes, was it really such a bad prospect to watch either Catalans, Saints, Wire or us? My attendance at the GF was determined when all 14 teams were still in the mix and there's no way I wouldn't have gone. I'll admit that a week ago the prospect of a Saints v Warrington final had me worried but had that been the case there's no way I'd have sold my tickets. Surely the final we've got can't b that bad?!

I've regularly gone to the Cup Final, since it's return to Wembley, as a neutral and seen plenty of other neutrals there too. Also, at this years Cup Final, there appeared to be no hatred or animosity whatsoever. I don't think it's as bad as you portray, I just think there's been some highly noticeable cases at recent Grand Finals.
I've never been to a GF as a neutral but, in my defence, my team are usually there

The only problems I've seen at Grand Finals were caused by one thing. Drink.

I'm sure that both of them would have got one. |
