Didn't see any trouble all day, everyone i met seemed in good spirits. Had a good laugh with some leeds fan who wouldn't accept Burrow is now a hooker. Was strange in the ground i was in block 512 and 2 rows from the back but ended up sitting in the front row because only rows 22-25 Were full not sure why it was so empty everywhere else behind he sticks looked full.

i was sat right at the front next to 2 leeds fans and must say we had a good laugh getting drowned in the rain and they stayed till the end watched the leeds players get their medals then watched us lift the cup said congratulations and left.

the only issue i had was i put my match programme on my chair while i was taking a video of players getting the trophy etc turned around and some scrote had knicked it.

PS will the club shop sell the programmes so i can spend another £8 to replace that one

I had a great time and didn't see any trouble, saw and talked to fans of a number of clubs.

There was even a couple holding hands on the underground platform the girl was a Wire fan and the bloke was Leeds, so there was the expected ribbing. Great to see that those relationships can exist.

Oh and I think air horns should be banned, they sound absolutely awful and drown out actual atmosphere.

Don't know about air horns masking genuine atmosphere but I do know that if I her another Coldplay song ever again I will cut my knob off!
Why they insist on trying to script emotion I will never know. As if we are all going to sit in silence as they parade the trophy.
It gets right on my tits all this bloody music everywhere.
Btw I play 4 instruments and love music but fecking Coldplay is not music...

I was sat with Wire fans behind the sticks, pleasure to sit with apart from one fan, big scare accross the left hand side of his face, was an absoulte disgrace.

I would advise you throw away all radios in your house then, and knives, otherwise you are going to end up with a life changing body modification.

I like Coldplay but I agree its not really Challenge Cup Final music. Unless you play it when the losers are going up to get their losers medals, "when you try your best and you don't succeed....."

They should play Simply The Best when the team is walking round with the trophy, like they used to when it was always Wigan winning it.

Maurice Lindsay now owns the rights to it.

Thought that was YMCA and Go West

He owns the musical rights to a Tina Turner song? Extraordinary.

Well he bought everything else, so why not the song as well ?



Fortunately all our talent is home-grown. With local lads like Currie and Micky Learmonth we are set up for the future.

That may fly a little high for many on here.

I've got tickets to the Paralympics closing ceremony and the only downer is that Coldplay will appear at that. It's not that they are really terrible, more that they are a very average indy band without any really strong tunes who are talked up as musical titans!
