| I must admit to me it really doesn't. I'm delighted that we are there again, but it was so special last time round that I have struggled to get as excited.
It is the only success I have ever seen us have after watching warrington for around 16 years, never missing home or away, and as strange as it sounds now that we have finally won something I can't get as up for any game anymore.
Bizarre!!

| I am totally up for this final when i cant get up for a final will be time to pack in i think. Is this not what its all about. I do agree the highliights for me during the rounds has been the fans. The atmosphere at hudds all the coaches to bradford and yesterday to see the ground full of wire fans was fantastic. Cant wait to get to wembley going to see wot the cues are like shortly. So excited i could wee myself
The trip down and stopping at the services and hopefully loads of friendly banter lets hope the team are up for more than u miserable lot
Cum on the wire

| I think we're looking at a reversal of 2009 v 2010. The semi final was full of emotion last year and you were left with a sort of 'hollow' feeling final. This time round, given the opposition, lack of atmosphere etc the semi final was a similar feeling to the final, great result, some great rugby but not the sort of raw emotion. I think the final will be a pulsating encounter and the intensity between the fanbases etc will make it the occasion that we all crave.

| I'd agree it doesn't feel the same but I think last year was a surprise and the whole cup run from the Golden Point to the fantastic semi-final made it special.
And I also agree that I think it will be the reverse this year with the final being special.
The other reason it doesn't feel quite the same on a personal level is that I can't make the final....so I am delighted but sort of gutted too.

| Last year was the end of a 19 year wait to get to Wembley, so the emotions, especially the relief/joy when the final whistle sounded v the Pies, were an absolute high. It was never going to feel the same going back just one year later. The final this year will be another matter: playing against the team who have dominated the SL for the last few years, a full house, and the chance to be the first ever Wire team to retain the challenge cup - that would be real history. For those of us who were there to see us fail to do this in 1974 and 1975, there's an extra dimension.

| Think this years semi was a little flat for the build up etc. Last year was extra special as it was 19 years since we went to Wembley. The atmosphere at this years final will make up for that though with it being against Leeds

| Doesn't feel the same as last year. In 2009 it was the 1st time we had got to a final since 1990 so it was all new, exciting & to be honest unreal as we had been crap for so long & lets face it last year we were generally poor (hence our league position).
This year feels more expected, like we deserve to be there.

| I don't think anything could top last year, it was like an enormous emotional weight off my shoulders after thirty years of pain. The dynamic has now changed and I can now enjoy the success.

| For me we're starting to feel like a genuine big club and top side this year, rather than a load of underachievers who have sneaked to Wembley a la last year.
I also believe that we can beat Leeds despite admitting that they are favourites, whereas after the semi last year I was sure we would be losing to Saints in the final until I got a pleasant shock the following day. Therefore it's better.

| 2009 was a truly great year for Warrington but it was probably just the start of something special. I truly believe that this years final could be the one we all dream about on Wembley mornings but very rarely (except 1985) get to see.
Finals are usually dull affairs with teams carrying injured players but I don't think that will happen this year.
As a Hull KR fan I say enjoy the day and I hope you and Leeds provide some classic entertainment in a couple of weeks time.
