Yet FC were ridiculed for being delighted at reaching a major final.

Are we counting all major finals or legitimately reached finals?

Thackray was described as "fat, useless, rubbish" by Rovers fans. FC did extra well to get there with that millstone round their necks. Don't think you're avoiding your famous quote about Hull fans lying when they said they enjoyed reaching a final and not winning it.

Yes we'dve struggled against Rochdale and Widnes without our chief playmaker Thackray.
As Mrs B says, it was widely suggested amongst Rovers fans that runners up in the Cup final meant nothing, ergo unless Rovers win the GF the same applies.

Pathetic attendance, but even poorer was the 4,008 at Belle Vue (or whatever its current name is).
Given the trend for bobbins attendances in the Play Offs, what can we realistically expect at CP next week? If we play Cas I can see 7.5K, if its Wigan nearer to 9K.

It all depends on context.
Getting to the CC final gets you bugger all on the franchise stakes.
Getting 5th, 4th, 3rd or 2nd over 11th on the other hand
