Quote: UllFC "Don't really agree with that, in the last 10 years, 9 different teams have made Wembley which out of a top flight of 12 isnt bad going. Only Salford, Wakefield and London havent been and they've never been regulars in finals anyway.

Also the underdog has won 4 years in a row, and this years winning margin of just 14 was the biggest for 4 years. I dont think the quality of the final is the issue, its the timings and the marketing.'"

Yep.
We have to get away from this thinking that the product on the pitch is the only thing that matters.
It needs to be an event, not just another but just more important game.

Quote: tigertot "I've no doubt some people say that but it's just cr ap. The days of bumper Wembley crowds in the 70s early 80s were witness to unfit, aged, bang average British players with an occasional superstar Aussie. Read posts on other team's boards. They're always full of supporters who have had a season ticket for 400 years but have had enough of the coach or referees & are never going again.
What I noticed this year was the lack of Leeds Rhinos supporters. A decent number, but nowhere like previous years. The usual great turnout from HKR/HFC. And not a single Wigan shirt. All weekend. Again.'"


Doesn't matter if it's crap or not, that's how they feel and as a game, we can't afford people feeling like that.

Quote: Him "Crass idiocy
You remind me of one of those creepy argumentative geeks who infested these kinds of forums in their early years before Twitter and Facebook thankfully hoovered them all up. You know the ones who pedantically twist every word before claiming they 'own' somebody, whilst simultaneously releasing some bodily fluid.

We've moved on a little since then and twisting what people say and then adding a way to many emoticons for someone truly convinced of their argument no longer qualifies as a debate. Move on. c020.gif
