I'm hoping Dave meant that as he isn't going to the match (presumably something is making it not possible) then the stadium size is irrelevant to him personally, rather than the match is irrelevant. Dave? |

Yes! Clumsy wording on my part!
I can't attend, so the ticketing and stadium arrangements are not relevant to me, but the match is very relevant!!! |

I think the challenge cup is a relevant trophy. The challenge cup showed a substantial change around in our performance winning it two years on the bounce. After waiting for so long to actually win something and now getting to the CC final for possibly the third time in 4 years shows something I think. Yes its lower opposition but years ago we couldn't manage that. Plus look at how far fev came this year. not all is lost in the CC I think. Plus it's a day out and booze up to Wembley! And It's another thing to rub in the pies face that it's a bit of silverware that they didn't win this season.
Because as we all know the CC means something now they've won it again, or is it worthless again if they don't win it?

It will be a great achievement if they win it but if they don't it will mean nothing and will be an irrelevant competition. |

The Challenge cup isn't an open competition between any team in the country anymore. For example, Saints and Wigan won so many in a row during their pomps because of the 'easy' structure of the competition and the finals of recent years refelcts this. Ultimately, There is no gain in only winning 4 or 5 games (many against lower opposition)
I say we all boycott the cup until they replace it with a new league and playoff system, or better yet, force them to scrap it completely and focus soley on the Super League competition. They could even add more pseudo-interntational matches to the calender.'"
Oh dear! If and it is still an if despite Hudd's recent form, we get to Wembley you won't be going then Mr Rocket? If and its a bigger if depending upon the opposition, we actually win the Cup I take it you won't be celebrating? |

JD. I am really starting to worry about you. Your posts are getting more and more ridiculous by the day. I strongly suspect that you are slowly but surely getting to the point where the men in white coats will be knocking on your door and taking you away in their little yellow van, with you wearing a very long sleeved coat.
PS. As you will not be going to Wembley should we be unfortunate enough to get to the final of this pointless and irrelevant tournament, can I have your season ticket voucher please? |

JD Rocket didn't go to Wembley in either 2009 or 2010!
