Don't be too hard on your fans. Wembley is a tough gig and it can be overwhelming. I remember last year I lost my voice shouting and chanting and stuff but Saints fans were hardly if at all heard on the TV because 75% of the crowd were shouting for Hull! Wire were always going to take a big crowd down - they pull good crowds generally - and add to that the neutrals who would have been clapping every try and cheering for no-one, and it was always going to be tough for your fans.

I was in Huddersfield on Thursday, there was this old guy walking around selling flags, horns and scarfs etc. I watched him for ages and not one person bought anything from him the whole time I was there. I was quite surprised in the lack of interest to be honest.

Good job we took about 30,000 because we had the rest of the stadium against us haha , i had good seats in the east lower tier bt i was still near alot of wakefield, bradford and leeds fans, think it is stupid how they can buy those seats






Never get too cocky

I'm not wanting to make waves, but the way we started, and then continued to play it was pretty tough to get enthused to shout about anything. After the first 20 mins it was pretty easy to see which way the game was going, we didnt look to offer much in the way of attack. Shame we had to play like that in the final. Our final must have been against saints. We played a hell of a lot better there.

Another case of "rabbits in the headlights" im afraid. Shame, some of our lads experienced twickenham, Wire didnt, why are we effected by Big occasions so much? Why could they hold there nerve?

Totally agree with that, the first 10 mins knocked the stuffing out of the team, of course its going to leave the fans flat

The moment that second (perfectly good) try was cheated from us I knew it would be our day

Cant gripe at fans for also feeling flat.

I thinik we just have to hold our hands up be honest and say Wire played well and we didn't. Also I would have liked to have seen our team out first to warm up, Wire looked professional from the start. To be honest we looked a little bit sloppy and too relaxed. Still, whatever the performance you have to sing and get behind the team.....in the end I see it like a battle of the town's...who's support is better, who are the more vocal and up for a laugh...yesterday that was the Wire support by a country mile. If a neutral from another country was in attendance yesterday, he/she would clearly think Warrington was were it is at and that Hudds is just a town of old prudes who don't now how to have a good time. We can take nothing away from Warrington's performance, they were so on the money and from the first until the last looked every bit the real deal.

I know Wire go on that its 1991 since they were at Wembley, but they have also been in the top and doning ok all that time, we havent...that makes a big difference

A lot of our supporters yesterday would have been people who used to go, and havent in years, older people who are more reserved now

Wire have had the generations introduced to the team and so have a mix of all ages, something we still, imo, lack a bit

That's all very well and good and I wouldn't disagree, but regardless of any of that there were plenty of teenagers and people like myself in their 20's and 30's who did nowt....barely clapped. I can't make an excuse or even accept one for the lack of noise, I'm not expecting a Rio carnival but something a bit more lively than what we had yesterday.....a morgue!

I have just got back from Wembley - I was due to stay in London until tommorow but couldnt find the enthusiasm to stay.

For my part I though I would be quite emotional yesterday but the day never lived up to the billing. I am afraid to say same old Fartown, big occasion, big let down and believe me it hurts to say that about our team. I at least expected us to give Warrington a game and dare believe we may have won it but with a display like that we didnt deserve to win.

Shaun Lunt is an absolute star and if the rest of team had have had a heart as big as his we may have troubled Wire. I was sat in the gods with rows of empty seats around us -and from the first few =minutes of the second half felt it was beyond us.

I am afraid with a pereformance like that it was a very empty feeling. I cannot comment about fans in the tiers down the front because I was so far away. It was like a morgue where I was sat!! :(
