| I think we need another rebrand to. Leigh Lams. How lucky are we to have the best coach and best half back in Rugby League. You 2 are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for this fantastic journey. I was there in '71 as 17year old and me and mates said it would be another 50 years. Well the God's of Rugby made us wait 2 years longer then we missed the covid restrictions on fans haha. It's all written in the stars. We're going to do the treble!!!!

| My first thought was to my dearly departed Dad Alan Fayle. He watched since he was a young boy, then in 71 his best mate scheduled his wedding on final day and asked my Dad to be best man. My Dad being the man he was, couldn’t turn him down. I was 7. We watched short snippets on a small black and white fuzzy tv in a hallway behind the reception hall. He passed 5 years ago now. The last game he saw was us beat Saints in SL, 2 weeks before he passed from cancer. He was so ill but determined to make the game, because he said we could “do’em”. I knew we could do this today and I know somewhere he and all the dearly departed Leythers were cheering us on and blowing that final kick wide.
Dare to dream Leythers.

| Well done Leigh from a Wakey fan, your defence particularly in the second half was outstanding.

Very emotional story VL. I'm sure your Dad will have been watching with you. Bless you.

| Wow. It’s taken me hours to come down from a very emotional very early morning over here. I can’t praise the boys enough. To defend like that in the first half and keep them to six points, what an effort. A massive thank you to Derek in putting his hand in his pocket and putting this team together with the best coach we have had since Sir Alex. I too was a sixteen your old kid the last time we where at Wembley. Up the Leythers.

| Well said LNZ.
But we have to recognize it isn’t only money that Derek has put forward. It really is his heart and soul. He has taken so much flak over the years and many would have taken the money and walked away. Not only did he keep the financial stake in place, he took it on the chin so many time and especially with the rebrand, knowing that it would be a personal hurt, but the best thing for the club. None of this would be possible without him. He is not the messiah, but he is a Leyther through and through.
It’s been a long day in Vancouver, trying to wrap my head around all this.
Bottom line. It’s midnight here, I celebrated with a couple of drinks, and my plane tickets are booked.
Wembeleigh here I come ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

I too went with my dad who passed on in 1991. What memories- Stan Dorrington’s barge over, David Eclersley’s mesmeric run through the centre of the field, Alex’s play acting (or was it?). All spoiled by Murphy’s betrayal (and Ashcroft) 2 days later).
Hope this doesn’t happen again!!

| Firstly congratulations on the win. Well deserved
As an FC fan who cried at Wembley 2016 , thinking of my late father, I know how you must all be feeling.
Rugby league and our love for our clubs does that to us.
Enjoy the moment and have a great time at Wembley.
Hope you go and win it ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)
