It's a fantastic day not too expensive cracking atmosphere and a wonderful event to win.

Perhaps as it involves Leeds most seasons why not move it to Elland Road !

Soon we will be dancing the Fandango FROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB'S DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESS THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. JAMIE PEACOCK:



Quote: mikej "After 35 years of watching the Wire, last night my daughter and I went to watch our first Grand Final (lol...for obvious reasons). She has been to the 3 recent Wembley visits and I have been to challenge cup finals, regal trophy finals etc in the past.

(Now here's the contentious bit). Given that it was our first ever GF did anybody else feel....well, to put it simply... disappointed with THE EVENT. We never got that "tingle" as you walk up to the stadium that you get at Wembley. We had a laugh and a joke with fans of Leeds + a couple of others outside the ground but there wasnt that "party atmosphere". Inside the ground I think that perhaps OTs age was against it so Im not going to criticise the facilities too much. Pre game build ups are never "fun" but I found the whole GF warm up BOOORRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG (would like to say here though, dont include the serious moment of the 1 minutes applause for the 2 police officers in that) .

When we left, we never felt that we had just lost a chance to be champions. It felt simply that we had just lost a game against Leeds.

Whether it was the chilly weather, the fact that it was an evening game, the fact that it was just down the road I dont know BUT frankly, as an event, actually dont rate the Grand Final.

Whether I would feel different if we had won, I dont know, as most of these impressions were built up before and during the game. IMHO the challenge cup final is the better event whilst I concede that the Grand Final has the more desirable prize.'"

Next time you go and you win,as I am sure you will quite soon,you will change your opinion.Believe me

Quote: mikej "2012 - losing to Leeds felt to me like we had just lost to Leeds NOT that we had just lost the chance of becoming champions.'"


Another one who is either kidding himself or is just not that passionate. We DID lose the chance of becoming champions on Saturday.

For the first time since the 1950's.

How on earth anyone could possibly say it felt like any other run of the mill defeat I have absolutely no idea. Hull at home in 2005, Huddersfield at home in 2010, Leeds at home in 2011 and last Saturday. My four worst days watching Warrington. Worse than 72-2 at Knowsley Road (I wasn't at 80-0). Worse than the only previous final I'd seen us lose (1995 Regal Trophy - we all expected to get beat really so just enjoyed the day). Worse than wallowing in absolute rubbish in the late 90's and early 00's because we had no real hope or ambition then anyway.

Last Saturday was the hardest of the lot and I will keep feeling kicked where it hurts the most with every single defeat of that type until we finally DO become champions.

Yours,
Absolutely gutted and most definitely not over it

[quote="Eddie Hemmings said not ":1h9um51j] "Remember last time they were here, the Huddersfield Giants, they lost to a Luke Walsh drop goal. He's only scored four drop goals in his St Helens career has Luke Walsh and each and every one of them have been scored by Luke Walsh"[/quote:1h9um51j]:

It's taken almost a week but I think I am, just. I actually felt OK about the result Saturday night, just a little disappointed, didn't feel too bad Sunday or Monday (way too busy working to think about it), but I woke up Tuesday morning and it hit me. I may watch the game on TV tonight for the first time, if not then I'll definately be watching it over the weekend. I tried watching it on Wednesday but gave up whilst the opening titles were still playing.

I haven't seen a second of it since I left the ground and I have desire to do so. Rugby can honestly do one 'til February now as far as I'm concerned.

I've taken this quite badly!

Event I felt was a bit underwhelming, but then again we lost!
The Activity/ fan area was sectioned off so I suppose if there was more of it dotted about the ground, would build the event more.

Really felt prematch wasn't up to its potential, again, need more than 6 fireworks (even if they did make e jump a little as didn't see the players start to come out).
