Quote: ComeOnYouWolves "As a Wire fan, i found the romance of Wembley much more special than the Grand Final. It probably helps the memory that we won it. There was much more excitement around the Challenge Cup, again maybe due to the time we last won something. I also think winning the Challenge Cup drains you. You can see generally after the Challenge Cup the winners tend to tail off and Leeds nearly did last season. Whether its complacency or something else? Having said that the Challenge Cup is a better day, i want us to win the GF as i want us to play in the World Club Challenge. Taking on the best in the world!'"
I think it's because you have such a long build up to Wembley that it feels more exciting. You have the best part of a month of anticipation, playing games in between and praying you don't pick up any injuries. Fans tend to make more of a weekend of it as well, especially with it being the bank holiday weekend.
