Ok it’s time to flush Wellens and co, and look forward to our grand day out.
For the Vancouver Leythers, there is myself and Junior VL arriving down in London on the Friday afternoon, and staying in The Fox & Goose Hotel 3 miles from Wembley, until Sunday morning. We are sitting in block 113, row 11, and I have just received two Leopard print bucket hats from Amazon Canada Right now we plan to wear the Centurions shirts that had the fan names as the background on the rear of the shirt. My Dads name is there, with my own and VL Junior’s. My Dad supported Leigh for over 70 years but never saw them play at Wembley (best man at a wedding the same day as 71 !). This will be my way of taking him there this time, along with my own son. He always felt bad for not going but that was for me, not for himself. Despite the tinge of sadness, I will be celebrating the day to the fullest as he would have done
If anyone is heading down on the Friday, or staying the Saturday night, I would love to meet up for a beer if possible. Or if anyone has heard of where any Leythers are gathering on the Friday evening or Saturday pre-game, I’d appreciate that info.
Win or lose this is going to be a bucket (hat) list thing for me. I honestly think we have the team to win this, and I’m literally vibrating with excitement already.
Look forward not back Leythers. We are going to WemberLeigh

Flipping heck, as a Rovers fan, if you win, I'll look at this post and it'll make me feel better.
Obviously I hope your dream doesn't come true, but if it does I'll be made up for you.
Good luck, safe journey.

Thanks Sandro. Less than 24 hours to jumping on the plane. Absolutely buzzing.

Ok Leythers.
When’s everyone going down and has anyone heard of Friday and/or Saturday pre and post game good Leyther locations ?

Have a safe trip VL. Just wish I could have been there. Bring it home boys. I have every confidence in this team to step up when needed. Have a great day everyone. Come on Leythers.

Hope you have a safe journey V.L.
I know a few are going to the Boxpark on Wembley Way, they have three bars and food, check the website.
You can prebook a ticket £11 to make sure you get in.
Hope this helps.

I've no idea about what time the coaches are expected to get down their or when they are going to leave again. At this point I don't rightly care so long as I'm in the ground come 1500 hrs. In the meantime I'll just rewatch Mr Latham talking about the 1971 final on repeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niG91Tjr568

Safe trip VL and condolences NZ but you'll be there in spirit

Gute fahren to all Leythers over the next couple of days. Still hasn't sunk in for Bongser!

All the best to you lads and nothing really against KR other than a Lancashire Yorkshire thing (is it still a thing?), but I'm looking forward to a cracking game bof RL and hope you win the Cup

Well the M6 is very slow this Friday afternoon so anyone travelling down tomorrow be mindful of giving yourself good time

We are going into Ealling for a pint V.L. apparently there are a few pubs on Broadway.
It's probably a mile from were you are if you fancy it.

How do everyone. Well I've been in London since about 11.30 this morning. Good to see a few leopards kicking about the place. Tomorrow will be an epic day. Have fun everyone and see you on the other side.

Best of luck tomorrow, I don't dislike either team but always had a soft spot for Leigh so I hope you win.

Good morning all leythers who are on the road what a great day it's going to be and what a spectacle it's going to be leopard print every where, the BBC will be all over it even Derek couldn't have thought this possible a few months ago,the team has done us proud so far so let's do them proud by shouting the house down and cheering them to victory, you got this boys .
