The wait will be worth it. I think it's going to be emotional |

There will be no half measures tomorrow. I fully expect loads of whinging about "not true fans" on here on Sunday, because anyone expecting a party atmosphere simply for being there has absolutely no chance. The intensity has cranked up tenfold since last year for me. We have to win.

The atmosphere will be tense and at times hostile. I just hope we sing our hearts out, enjoy and savour the occasion. I can't wait for the players to walk put from the tunnel and the stadium to erupt.

I'm thinking of ringing Tony Smith to see if he'll give me a kit and get me on the pitch; I'm so fired up I reckon I'd do a good job!

I sat in the second tier last season, this time I've gone for a ticket near the tunnel on the bottom tier to be closer to the action and feel more part of the occasion. My thoughts have been about that moment when the players com out and he fireworks go off - I wanted to be near that. I really am fired up for this, in case anyone wasn't sure! |

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "When the Wire fans went to see the Pope, they must have been hard of hearing (perhaps they should have gone to Lourdes)
What he actually said was, Wigan 19 times Champions, and 19 times Challenge Cup Winners.
Now my friends, that is REAL history.'"
And Warrington have never won anything, of course, in our history. We've never been relegated nor broken the salary cap, either. Altogether mediocre, in fact. On the whole though, as a Warringtonian, I'll take our history, and our present, over that of the pies anytime. |

| Quote: Dropkick Murphy "On Saturday night Warrington RLFC could win our first championship since 1955. To put that into context, I'm in my thirties and my mum wasn't even born then!
Of the 14 clubs currently in Super League, all of them have been crowned champions more recently than us with the exceptions of Castleford, Catalan and London, all of whom have never won it and two of whom are not long standing clubs. As a support we like to pretend that we're a big club, but those cold hard statistics suggest we are nothing of the sort.
This week we have seen posts on here about "The Sky Cup", negative experiences at Old Trafford last year (hardly surprising seeing as how we lost), negative comparisons to Wembley, and various other drivel. All of which in my view completely misses the point. Whether you agree with the play offs or not (I do) and whether you like the current format of them or not (I don't) is irrelevant. Surely you want your team to be crowned champions via whatever method must be followed to achieve that! Especially when the last time that happened was FIFTY EIGHT YEARS AGO!
If you don't want and crave that then either you're a pretty dispassionate spectator rather than supporter, or you just plain might as well give up. This is what needs to happen so on Saturday night - against the club most of us regard as our greatest rivals and who are indisputably the biggest in the game - lets go out there and rewrite history.
NOW THE WIRE'"
To be fair my bigoted friend, you did re-write history. The biggest lead given away in grand final history.
Hope you enjoyed your night  |

Wrong again.
It would have been at the town hall as previously announced. Policing issues apparently.
1/10 my trophyless friend. Must try harder.

| Quote: Les Norton "Not according to Gary Hetherington, and he should know. He's stated previously that the Grand Final brings more money in, through shirt & merchandise sales leading upto the event, and after due to the 'good feeling' created especially in the run up to Christmas. Plus, as the biggest & last game of the year season ticket sales are boosted.
Sounds to me like your trying to play it down because you're not very confident and you're trying to get a come back in to preempt a loss!'"
Wigan got £30K for winning the Grand Final, Wire received £15K . Wigan received around £250K for winning the Challenge Cup.
Straight from the horses mouth as it were. And that's one reason why there will be a BIG shake up on Wednesday. |
