icon_sad.gif It was a slight cock up get over it. Human error! The final was a great day a sell out and a great atmosphere.

Quote: McLaren_Field "When was the queen last at a challenge cup final then ?'"


The Queen has PRESENTED the Challenge Cup twice - once in 1960 to Wakefield and again in 1967 to Featherstone.

Shame about the mic
Choir would have been better
Most people don't know the words
But I was still proper choked.

Quote: AdmiralHanson "How many other times a year do you sing it ?'"


Why would you want to sing it? It has little meaning in a multi cultural society where religions plays such a small part in the lives of most citizens.

I fail to understand why we should be subjected to it anyway - it is the same as the RU song we have at the GF.

Tradition - this has very little meaning to 99% of the crowd and as such should be scrapped.

The whole "Entertainment" was a joke on Saturday - the RFL needs to improve it or scrap it.

I expect you're part of the movement to scrap [iThe Last Night of the Proms[/i as well? Tradition and history is everything in a major sport. Maintaining a tradition like the singing of [iAbide with Me[/i unites 2010's Wembley with every other previous cup final there going back to 1929 ( no, I don't know for sure if it was sung in 1929 ). Most people are moved by the metaphorical words and stirring melody even if they are not of a religious frame of mind. Scrap tradition and you may as well go the the 2010 street hockey final.
