it was on the same day as the the NL grand finals at the H&J, so go wind yer neck in.

Went in 74 was awsome, went again in 75 still enjoyed it but getting beaten by the smellies took the edge off the occasion for me. never went in 1990 got married instead just went to the town hall on the home comming.

Im really excited about this year a win would be perfect, however, if we loose it is still something special and im also looking forward to the homecomming what a party can't wait. In sport if we win yes will be the best ever

That is of no relevance at all mister.

I bet your parents would rather have gone to Wembley.

Awesome.

Yes! by a mile, too young to remember 90, so this is huge for me.

It's all i think about now

I was 19 in 1974 and the match was my first Challenge Cup final. We were probably marginal underdogs going in to the game as, although we'd already won two trophies, those were the days of contested scrums and we were all worried that Kevin Ashcroft would not get us any ball against the then GB hooker, Bridges, plus they had the GB scrum half, Nash. After a sticky start we outplayed them to win.

In 1975 we were red-hot favourites, and after John Beven scored our first try on about five minutes even the Comics thought they were goint to get pasted. Murphy's power, however, had seen Mike Nicholas left out of the starting line up after he fell out with 'Murph', and we lost our way to lose convincingly.

1990 I'd just started a new business and was so pre-occupied that the game went by in a daze. On paper we never had a chance against moneybags Wigan but we gave it a shot.

This year has the potential to beat all of them, especially as I could not imagine, in 1974, what it was like to wait twenty years between cup final appearances ( prevous one had been 1954 ). Now I do!

This will top it for me. I was only 8 in 1990 and although I was no doubt excited about it I probably didn't fully grasp what was happening. I also don't remember a great deal. I remember being in awe at the size of Wembley as I'd only visited a couple of grounds at that point. The 1 clear memory I still have and all ways will have from the game is Mike Gregory's try.

Roll on the 29th.

Are you deliberately belligerant or is it something you do unconsciously?

This is my first Challenge Cup Final and although I've been to a couple of Grand Finals they obviously weren't involving my team so didn't mean as much. Great Britain V Australia at Wembley and the first Tri-Nations final at Elland Road are probably the biggest RL games I've been to before and I've been to Scotland V England RU at Murrayfield too but Wire at Wembley will be ten times bigger than any of those games in my eyes so in rugby terms then yes.

However I've also been to three European Cup Finals (Old Trafford 2003, Istanbul 2005, Athens 2007) and this won't come close to 2005 so in overall sporting terms then no.

I've seen most of the Finals of various competitions that we've been in since I started watching aged 10 in 1966 and nothing can compare (until next week) with Murphy lifting the Cup in 1974. The 1986 Premiership Final came close.
If we do win, one absolute 'must' for everyone is the Town Hall on Sunday afternoon. I doubt that anyone who was there will ever forget Mike Gregs speech in 1990.

it's not the biggest thing tooooooooooo happen toooooooooo me
