Third time lucky ? : Sun May 08, 2022 7:19 am  

Very few of us have seen the Huddersfield win a challenge cup.

In the 2000s this will be our third CC appearance.

It will be against our third different opponents from Lancashire.
Saints Warrington Wigan

It will be our third different ground Twickenham , Wembley White Hart lane

It is written in the stars third time lucky

I know of so many people who are currently looking at flights from various parts of the world where they should be holidaying to come back for the final!
My tickets are booked!!!!
I’m not a superstitious person by any stretch but let’s hope you are right! I think this time is different to the last two superleague era attempts to win the cup!

I’m glad I’m not Ian Watson because if we are all fit and available he has got some very very difficult choices to make, and some very very difficult conversations to have.

Big weekend with Town being at Wembley the day afternoon.

Will that impact on the Challenge Cup final attendance do you think?

Best of luck, the cup belongs back in Fatterini territory.
I'd love it for Uncle Ken.

A quick count up (yes I really am that sad) and I reckon we have sold just under 4000 tickets so far on our site. Not bad considering the ticket office has only been open one day the online account cannot accept all Mastercard payments so some people have no choice but to buy at the office (my Mastercard went through ok though!) the office is opening late one day this week and likely some will buy when they come down on Thursday.
I think once it’s clear what is happening with the football team then more tickets will be sold at that point too.
Almost 10 coaches filled already.
