Could be a final that’s gets a lot of neutral fans turning up.

Just looking back think the Miski hit was worse than Shorrocks one yet only a penalty, pundits think ref bottled it.

Fair few Wigan fans think the ref robbed them, can’t see how that is Miski was lucky to not even get a yellow.

Wigan being robbed by a ref?
Oh, my sides.
They've been getting away with murder since the mid 80's

I hope it does, I think this is an excellent final for the neutrals both sets of fans will be delighted to be there and one set will have a day to really savour. I think the atmosphere around the whole place will be brilliant, a bit like it was for our first final under Tony Smith v Huddersfield, with the 2 sets of fans involved the atmosphere could be even better.

I do wonder how many saints and Wigan fans arrogantly booked tickets and accommodation for a weekend in the capital expecting there teams to be there..and will they still go

I was thinking of going but my son reckons it’s £120 on the train to London. Think I’ll pass.

You can often find cheaper tickets the further in advance you buy them, trouble is these days you can’t trust the trains. They will most likely have a strike day on that day.

That was the first thought that came to my mind, as I wondered whether there would be yet another series of maintenance planned that weekend.
