I will guarantee one thing, it will hurt the players far more than us fans.... lets move on.

Really enjoyed the game yesterday, although disappointed being a Fev fan. I watched the game back today and didn't quite appreciate how well both teams played in the conditions. I thought neither team deserved to lose, but there has to be a winner and a loser, yesterday was York's day, and no one can begrudge them. There can be criticism of the crowd at the end of the day, but both teams had in excess of 2000 fans, if you want more in the stadium buy your tickets and stay for the game.

First of all can I say congratulations on the win yesterday. A very close game that could have gone either way. From a Fev point of view the decision to go right 90 seconds from time, instead of left to Reynold for the drop goal, cost us the game. I was surprised to hear Applegarth say that was your worse performance of the season, watching the game back both teams were very good considering the conditions. I thought that both sides gave their all and there are not many, if any, teams in the championship would have beaten either side yesterday. I firmly believe that at least one of the teams yesterday will be in the play off final, not sure which but I hope one of them win the playoff final.

Always great to get to go to Wembley, but usually if you get there and don't win it can feel bitter, especially with the financial outlays these days, but you know what, it doesn't. I thought that we played well, considering the conditions, but until watching the game back I didn't think we played as well as we did. There was nothing between the teams, if anything we were probably disappointed that we didn't take advantage of some of periods of dominance in the second half. We all look at that one fifty fifty call 90 seconds from time, going right, we know went in touch, going left would almost certainly have given us the trophy, that is life. I don't think that any player need feel disappointed with their performance, they gave their all which in the end wasn't enough, I can live with that. I thought that the support was fantastic, especially after all the reports of only '700' Fev fans there was a large and vocal support. All I would say (though I doubt that many of the stay away fans would read this) is get along next week, give the team the support they deserve. Although we have some ground to make up, I still think we can finish up as a top 4 team.

Aekins Wynne Hampshire A mention for Gale with the tackle on Mata'afa that dislodged the ball and saved a certain try at the end of the first half. Nearly got in my top 3 for that alone.

If I was watching on TV I would be cheering on the other Rovers, as I will be sat alongside the Wire fans, may the best team win and I promise not to jump up if HKR score.

Back to the game. On paper it looks set to be a cracker. As a Fev fan I think it is way too close to call and could go either way. Win or lose I'm sure that both sets of fans will enjoy the day and hopefully for all the neutrals out there I hope the game is as exciting as we all expect.

I copied the photo and zoomed in 400% and I think it does say York City Knights. If so I'm not sure if that is someone at Fev, or Hummel.

I think that it say York city Knights on the shirt, so who is responsible for that who knows. All Fev socials seem to just say York Knights.

When I looked at the ticketing site after the Oldham game, from the link on the Fev twitter page, it did look as though sections 128, 129 and 130 were open for Fev fans. Both 129 and 130 are sold out with just a few in 128. While there may be less Fev fans than the previous two 1895 cup finals, I'm sure there will be more than 700 Fev fans as has been quoted. I am in block 129.

I have just been down at the club shop to pick up an order, and when I was getting back to the car an older gent pulled up and asked if he could get a ticket from the club shop. I did explain that they were online from the RFL only and he said how is someone like him able to get a ticket. I assume he isn't that computer literate and he was heading to the club shop when I drove off. Now I don't know if the club were able to go online and order one using his card details and print it out for him, but as he said, its no wonder that attendances are down.

Super League + Link to the site, you just need to set up a free account.

Fev are in blocks 128, 129 and 130. Block 130 is sold out and a few left in 129 and 128. My guess would be that we also have blocks 235, 236 and 237. Once the main game is finished it is anticipated that most Wire fans will leave and the Fev fans will then be able to move wherever they want.

For mine, I would rest O'connor, as he should be nailed on for a start at Wembley, and look at options for the other centre. I would play Glover, and give Hatton a chance to stake a claim for the final. If Hardy is on the bench and Hatton is poor we can put Josh in his place. If Hatton doesn't stake a claim for the final then it would be either Gale or Josh to partner O'connor. I would save Addy and Williams for the final and go with the same pack as last week.
