For me the true value of a trip to Wembley involves $1400 return flight Bermuda to London. $35 ticket and unpaid leave from work! Not to mention the booze money.

A couple of grand for a rugby match - people think I'm crazy..... they're obviously not Wolves fans. Is totally worth it in my opinion.

Quote: Chris McKean "Sorry dude. I'm a bit opposed to the whole Wolves thing. When I hear or see someone calling them the Wolves I jump on my high horse and correct them really quickly.

I shudder at the thought of us being referred to as the Wolves in the future.'"


We've discussed this before. [iWire [/iwill always be the club's public 'nickname', but it's been in the public domain so long that the club could not trade mark it as a name, meaning, for example, that anyone could make and could sell [iWarrington Wires[/i scarves at Wembley/in the town centre, and take money that would otherwise go to the club. Trademarked names are valuable. You may have forgotten that when we first adopted 'Wolves', Wolverhampton Wanderers from the wendyball league objected on the ground of 'causing confusion with consumers' and for a few years we had to use only the full term[i Warrington Wolves,[/i not just [iWolves[/i, in anything official.

Quote: TF and the wire "Before Superleague, the wembley finalists would go on a post final spending spree with the money gained. We bought Kevin Ellis, Rowland Phillips and Alan Bateman on the back of the 1990 trip. It ususlly guaranteed the teams a good following season.

For some reason, it doesn't seem to follow now. Huddersfield, Bradford and Hull have had indifferent seasons immediately after a Wembley final. Not sure why?'"

But Saints went on to have great seasons, so I don't think your theory applies.

We only moved to New York on 1st of August but will be returning returning to the UK for the final:
Two flights for me and the wife $1800
2 tickets £35 each
3 nights hotel at Heathrow £130

Total before I but a pint or a burger about £1300. Now thats dedication; plus my season tickets are still live, being used by my daughter and her husband.
A win a Wembley priceless.

We must all meet up and buy each other a pint
