I hadn't realised we were in Club Wembley seats but meant we could do some people watching before the game. I tried to see who Eddie Hemmings was putting a bet on as he queued up but not successfully. Really liked the facilities on the concourse, view a bit high up for me but would go in there again.
I did find the relative level of Wigan support strange. They've got a challenge to get in Top 4/GF this year (not to say they won't!) so I'd have thought there'd be a bigger support from them given their size. We probably took twice our number of passholders.
I thought the Wigan support was terrible for a club with a big fan base I can't understand why they took so few you out numbered them 3-1 easily anyway well done ( he says through gritted teeth ) I hope its you and cas in the GF really bored of seeing the same teams in the final and a cas win obviously
einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result
Best bit on the red button forum...interview with Tomkins on the verge of tears, but all you can hear are the Hull lads belting out old faithful in the changing rooms

Think the whole thing is really good - BBC coverage gets criticism but Mark Chapman, Dave Woods, John Kear, Brian Noble and particularly Jon Wilkin are far better than Sky's team IMO. Not keen on Robbie Paul, Jonathan Davies or Jamie Peacock but overall I thought BBC did a great job, as they did last year. Really hope Wilkin gets a gig with Sky when he hangs his boots up - really articulate and insightful.

Enjoyed watching cup games far more than sky .Met Mark Chapman once over 10yrs ago and he said then one of his greatest sportent events was Cardiff 05. Comes across in his presenting how much he enjoys being around rugby league
