Boys & girls, in less than 1 week we will be gracing the hallowed turf and quite frankly, I'm already losing sleep thinking about how ace the day will be.

I have planned the day already, the start times, the parking, the pub meet up, even the shirt, which has to be the same as Headingley, as anything else will jinx the day. I went in club shop this morning and it brought home how I'm not alone in feeling like a daft kid about this. It was absolutely rammed and the punters were lapping it up. As I left with my Wembley Sponge Hand I chuckled at the HKR flags draped out of the upstairs window, flapping over the "Hull & Proud" sign of the neighbouring shop.

Drink it in fellow fans, we have waited long enough, let the countdown begin.

6 days, 18 hours, 15 mins.....

I haven't had much time to think about it - work has been bonkers for a while.

For the same reason I never got around to buying this season's shirt, for the first time in a few years, despite liking it a lot. I woke up one day and suddenly it was July. I'm leaning towards the 2008 or 2012 shirt at the moment. On the other hand 2009 and 2010 have better memories, despite being indifferent designs.

I'm excited my partner not so much as I had to remind her I was going to Wembley next week her reply was what for. To be honest I have never met anyone with least interest in sport as her

Is there a future in this relationship, I ask?

Pardon the pun, but does she have an up side? Or is it none of my business?

I quite like the fact that she has no interest in rugby and she does have her good points I'll get back to you when I remember them

Terrible start to this thread.

If we lose it will be down to SirStann's inability to know what an ellipsis is.

The latest Ms. Terrorista will be wearing my old "Goose Power" shirt, that I had the good fortune to meet the esteemed Mr. Grafton Red, lover of of the finest Cuabn cigars...

I did a grammar post that was all wrong.

Typical.

His Babness just came in his pants.

BEEN their stan done it in the 1960 and 1980 and 1986 and the date can not remember for that plate final and and 20 more times at wembley for lots of finals so all on hear that are going have a great day or weekend and i will watch it when i come home

plate final 1997

What about 1964?. lol

I was posting half cut, what was your excuse...

I'm an idiot.

Top shirt that...

GraftonRed, my dear fellow - if we were to win the Cup, could we persuade you to make us a new forum banner?

Tbf, the shrunken old one looks okay, imo, but it'd look better with something ornate in silver.

It would be a pleasure, but i will wait until after the final before i even contemplate it, don't want to tempt fate, a bit like touching the Trophy before the final.

And now I'm ready for the coming weekend!

Most definately, don't want to end up like that tattooed Aston Villa fan who was in the news after Arsenal beat his team!

Thanks muchly, though. And if the best did happen early Sunday morning is fine.

And 1981?

My 1st time at Wembley at the age of 32 only started going to watch rovers as a 20 year old because a good mate of mine played for them and i got hooked and vowed to never go to Wembley until we got there, I know I've not supported rovers as long as some people but this will be the greatest day of my life behind having my children

Win or lose, it will be a fantastic experience so enjoy.

Today's result sets everything up nicely, both sides being top of their respective leagues.

Lets hope the commitment levels on show today are there next week, that's all I ask for (well, maybe a Kelly solo try from 90 metres as well please).

Well, we certainly need one try at least. The thought of a nilling is unbearable.

Well there is that yes, maybe an early 1 pointer to put that worry to bed?

I just don't get this, if we lose I will be devastated.

When we lost in '86 I was gutted for weeks afterwards.
