Met him in Perpignan a few years ago, lovely guy and enjoyed his reporting on the game.

It was a good night and well attended. Arrived bang on 7.30pm and it was standing room only by then. Players, staff and fans in good spirits. Shirts are decent. Let's hope it translates into good results on the pitch and a few more folk through the turnstiles.

I thought it was really good too. Adam Hills' welcome page raised a chuckle and was a refreshing change to the usual turgid platitudes in those things.

World Cup Final, my first trip to Wembley in 1992, in the days when my team's supporters club got behind the national side and ran a bus to matches. Tense and ultimately heartbreaking match but what an occasion and atmosphere. Still rank that period as the time when rugby league was at its most successful and visible in this country.

It was a great night, got to speak to the players - some of whom don't look much different than they did quarter of a century ago. Well done to all those who organised and turned up.

The only competition for which loop fixtures might actually be a decent idea.

I really like the 1895, great chance for lower league clubs to get to Wembley - it just needs the final to be before the main match. I can't understand the current apathy towards cup competitions. I'd rather Dewsbury win the 1895 Cup and have a day out at Wembo to remember for the ages, rather than another pointless promotion to the Championship followed by immediate relegation. York fans seemed to be loving it last week and were partying with the players in the city's riverside pubs the next day. We should all be making 1895 Cups out of tin foil to hold up at matches as we throng on the terraces. Viva las 1895 Cup.

I watched it again (from behind the sofa). It really was a nailbiter at the end. The games against the star-studded Wigan teams from the 1980s and 90s are also on YouTube. We gave them some good battles. There were moments when they struggled to stop the likes of Dennis Bailey, Nathan Graham, Mark Haigh, Darren Rogers etc.

And here it is again to watch in all its glory. Don't recall a gale though.

Dews 22 Goolies 18 MoM Hookem Att 600 I fear our discipline and concentration will wobble and our new signing will do his knee in but we'll scrape home. Interesting watching the post-match interviews after the Wembley finals. The first thing the winning players mentioned was "togetherness". Do Dewsbury have that?

Think the wet conditions had a lot to do with it but I'd much rather watch close, attritional games like that than high-scoring point fests. Best low scoring Dewsbury game.I remember was the 3-2 win over Hull KR in 1990.

Good game, well done York

A committed second half performance saw us home with better discipline and ball retention. Jamie Gill from Bradford seemed to do the most damage for us, and Hookem and Craig McShane had good games too. A lot of evenly matched teams in League One, just needs more fixtures.

And need to improve our woeful discipline - chelping af the ref, cheap high shots, pointless niggling at the PTBs. We just seem to gift possession to our opponents. Remember Hookem shouting "no penalties" throughout the Goole match and it seemed to work. Then things dropped off from Midlands away. I'm quite confident in us winning if we can complete our sets.

It's awful, I don't know why anyone would want to listen to that and yet it's been going on for years now. The only reason I can think it's played is due to some malign influence, like that of rugby union, to make people switch off. Please stop miking up referees, it sounds bad.
