Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!: |
|
| Asking the Leeds fan taking photos at the entrance to Wembley Park tube.."excuse me, can I get past, we got ours last year"
The look on the Quins fans face when i asked if we could beat them by 60 on friday, and them asking if we'd settle for 50 (only if cas promise to only let Saint got 40).
The look on youngest daughters face we we walked out from the concourse to our seat and seeing the stadium
Finding out I was sitting next to the fans that I spend all season with and we didnt even know we had adjacent seats
STUFFING LEEDS
Lee's reaction to getting MOM
The sing off on the tube back to the cars with Leeds fans
Eventually getting home and OH admitting she was a RL convert.

| So many from the day stand out but a couple not mentioned that I thought I'd throw in the mix.
Richie Mathers walking out of the tunnel for the warm up, seeing/hearing the fans & noise & mouthing a disbelieving "Wow".
Ben Westwood grabbing Tyler as he walked up for his medal & raising the cup with her at his turn - it was one of those Father/Daughter moments that brought a tear to the eye.
Similarly, Moz going over to his family for a cuddle with his son before going back onto the pitch for the celebrations.
"Same time next year?" to the stewards as we left.
Mrs Piano having text read out by Gaby Roslin on Radio 2 driving back up the M40 mentioning the Wire & Ms Roslin clearly not having a clue what she was on about.
Going home with the realisation that after all these years of false hopes & dawns we now truly have a side & club capable of holding a sustained place at the very top table of English RL.

| Quote: oli30045 "- Standing outside the pub on the corner of the road where the coaches were coming in, a man in a primrose and blue Toga was directing traffic, sending the Warrington coaches the correct way and Leeds in a big circle.
- The same pub, when the club coach came down that road the atmosphere was absolutely amazing.
- The moment that the teams walked onto the pitch, again it was a great atmosphere.
- Morley lifting the cup (obviously)
- Lee Briers putting his medal around the neck of the disabled child in the wheelchair at the bottom, made my day really because it was such a great gesture, he didn't have to do what he did, but he did just to give the child a great moment'"
This guy?

Forgot to mention Kev Penny using Wolfie's giant rugby ball to score under the posts from half way while the team were on the lap of honour!

| Other than the whole day the stand out moments for me included;
When the team bus arrived at the stadium.
That kid in the schools match that scored a hat-trick and then cheekily set up his mate.
Wolfie knocking on....again!
Westwood's tackle on Lee Smith.
Chris Hicks unbelievable second try.
Richie Mathers' non-try celebration.
Lee Briers' reaction to winning the Lance Todd.
The final hooter - was made up for Woody and Jon Clarke.
Moz lifting the cup.
Lee Briers acknowledgement to the crowd that his winners medal was dedicated to all of us.
Listening to 606 on 5live on the way home and a caller accusing Robbie Savage of buying 7 pairs of trainers from a shop in Wilmslow and getting a kid to carry them out for him

I assume you mean his second. Made Leeds look soooo ordinary at that point. Just before his first my daughter said to me "god, look at that gap there, if Briers can stick the ball.....OMG..YeHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

49863_1309431041.jpg Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_49863.jpg |

| Here's some of mine.
When the guy was reading the teams out, the PA was playing NIMROD (from Elgar's Enigma Variations, you know the one, they play it at the Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Sunday), doesn't half make the hairs on your neck stand on end, that one.
That fat Leeds "person" who was causing all the trouble in our end/corner. When he got pushed over (he was stood on a couple of seats, fat knacker) by a Wire fan, he seemed to fall in slow-motion. ABSOLUTELY COMICAL. Deserved everything he got. GOBPOOH.
When Hicks went over for the hat-trick try, a group of our fans going "were gonna bounce in a minute". I thought about it, then decided not to, especially after the Stellas and hip flask of whisky already consumed.
On the coach on the way back, driving on the main road in the residential area out of Wembley, someone said "this makes Toll Bar Road seem like Kensington".
