ahem...."With a lower crowd than usual expected this weekend due to Catalans’ involvement, it has again reared suggestions about whether the final should move from its spiritual home. Ratchford, however, is adamant is belongs where it is." ENOUGH SAID

Imagine if the association football cup final was played between Burnley and stoke. I doubt that would sell out either. It’s the same in any sport. If the big clubs don’t get there it’s difficult to sell

What is the obsession with crowds at finals??!

Too many people sat at home watching the stands and not the pitch.

You worried it won't look good on your TV? Well go sit in the stadium then.

Admission that Catalan are not a big club.

Perfect reply.

Dunno if you're on a wind up or not there, but a Burnley V Stoke FA Cup Final would sell out easily.

As for the game, it's all a bit shambolic. No trains to Euston so I'm going down by bus, but reports suggest roads will be chaos, and I've got an upper tier ticket that nobody at all has contacted me advising me what to do with. My mate emailed the RFL and was told to turn up at the turnstile stated on our tickets and we'll be given replacements. That sounds well organised.

Given that I'm liable to be stuck on the motorway nervously looking at my watch, have no idea what's going to happen at the ground in terms of our tickets, and it's going to be half empty with probably quite a weird atmosphere, I just hope I get there, get in and Wires win. Not looking forward to it in all honesty.

What's the dress code Murphy? Only kidding good to see you back let's hope all the chaos is worth it

Ha, I got banned on the Wires forum years ago.

We've all had our moments it wasn't permanent was it active RL chat always welcome in my book

No idea - hang on, I'll attempt to post now and find out...

*EDIT* Yes, it was permanent!

Weather looks set fair. If Catalans show up like they did in the semi i can't see them losing. It's all on them and whether they freeze on the occasion, any drop off and Warrington are more than good enough to step up and will. Looking forward to it.
