| So we've made it, i'm very much looking forward to it! Where are you all sat? I'm just above the tunnel. Let's hope there's more of us there like in 2012 against Leeds rather than the [what i considered poor-ish turnout in 2013.
I think it will be the same team but there is a possibility that Dwyer comes back in if Smith feels like the rest has done him good.
Where are the drinking holes going to be before and after for everyone?

| I think there will be a larger following for us this year. When we lost in 2013 it was at the end of a streak where we made a few finals and i think it may have impacted on peoples pockets. I know we have already had 1 final this year, but i feel we will take a few.
As for seating, I and 5 others are on the top level of the West stand right behind the sticks. My theory is we have lost when i was in the lower tier and when I was in the South Stand.
We usually end up having a few in Wetherspoons in Deansgate
Can we also play the team from up the M6 please, we owe them one.

| Pre match beers are best in the city centre.. The bars around the stadium are expensive and are seriously rammed. Some even charge entry fee at the door .

| Good luck and enjoy the day. Warrington have been the most consistent side in SL this season and would be deserved winners.

No chance TS will make the same mistake of sitting 4 forwards on the bench again...I hope!!

| 2013 was inexcusably poor, but the RLWC certainly didn't help, with many saving up for that.
The last two Grand Finals have both been fantastic 'events' in front of full houses. More of the same next week I hope!
Block WU202 for mine, train over from Sankey early doors.

| It should be a cracking game. It's a testament to both clubs work at academy level that they've made the final this year with so many first choice players in the stands.
Have a good one.

Exactly why I said Hull FC were in a false position. They've been fortunate on player fitness.

I think that it is more a reflection of what a poor-quality season it has been, sadly. However, you can only play what is in front of you!

That is exactly true imo.
You've seen battered teams Wire Wigan Saints only a fraction off the back of FC and Leeds and Hudds have had similar issues but at the wrong end of the table.
Hull might just scrape 6th if this season wasn't so blighted.

| There are 15 of us going. Train from Central around about 12 and then city centre Manchester for drinks and food. Tram to Old Trafford and straight into the ground. From 2012 & 2013 experiences the Pubs around O/T are dire and nothing but rip off selling rubbish beer and charge you to enter what are nothing but flea pits. We are in the South stand towards the 20 metre line by the tunnel.
Can anyone recommend somewhere to eat City Centre Manchester?
Thanks

If you're into multi cuisine buffets, there are a couple of good ones. Peachy Keans in the Printworks and Red Hot World Buffet a couple of minutes walk away.

If you go to the Corn Exchange they have a variety of decent restaurants, allndecent value and pretty quick food. Mowgli is good, Indian street food and a couple of cold ones would be ideal!

Not according to Lee Radford.
Quote ="On BBC Lee Radford said not "
It's been a really long season, team now hitting form have had a lot of blokes busted but we've been consistently fit, played a lot of footy and the players look drained, it's a real marathon.'"
Now to me that reads as if he thinks that Hull have suffered at the end of the season because they have been fortunate to have a fit team all season!

| I've had a few hangovers I'm my lifetime. I've got over them in 2 days. I've said this about Hull various times this season. I also said we would beat them and that they would not win another game.
The clubs around them have stepped up as play off rugby intensified....Hull didn't regardless of the other comment Lee Radford made saying FC are better at knockout rugby....!?

We may be hitting the 16.8% Shipwrecks in Brewdog.

Which part of town are you thinking of where does your train come in Deansgate/Oxford Road/ Piccadilly or Victoria? The Printworks and Corn Exchange mentioned earlier are good shouts but best from Victoria.
If you are central and fancy a traditional pub one of my fave's is Sam's Chop House try the Corned Beef Hash or Steak Pudding it's 'sister' pub Toms Chop House is on Cross St and if it's fine they have outdoor seating at the rear off St Ann's Square.
Piccadilly is handy for the top end of the Northern Quarter some great bars with craft beers never eaten over there pub wise but there'll be plenty of choice including a few great 'Indians' a rice plus three (curries) £5/£6 Al Faisal, This and That, Yagdar, highly recommended by hungry Horace Uncle Rico worth a google or PM for directions
Have a great day

| I like it in there. If you get the steak pudding, chips and mushy peas make sure you take the top off the pudding and pour the gravy onto the steak as there's no gravy in the pudding. After that just enjoy it, it's a really nice meal

Yeah some nice eateries in the NQ. Pie & Ale and its sister restaurant the Bakerie have some nice meals, Koffee Pot does a nice breakfast but will be busy on a Saturday, El Capo does an amazing chilli! SoLita has some splendid burgers!
