Challenge Cup Final Entertainment

[RigbyLuger]

Lizzie Jones is back. As is Alex Simmons. Wonder if he'll bring along Wagga in blackface.

My God. Why on earth are they letting Simmons inside the park?

LIZZIE!

Yay! She's a ray of light.

[Jughead]

Two very, very opposite ends of the spectrum there. Jones is classy, quality and quite inspiring. Simmons is annoying, loud and irritating. 

Lizzie Jones’ performance at Wembley a few months after, and not so many miles   from where Danny passed, was sensational. I’ve not seen as many grown men in tears as Abide With Me that day. Conversely, I had the displeasure of sampling Simmons and Wayne Godwin in BoxPark prior to the 2019 final and a barmaid served me and asked me “does anyone find him funny?” and “is he okay?” regarding Godwin.

Jeez.

Someone at the RFL must like him, because Leeds got rid, and no-one wants to show his TV show anymore. It's a complete mystery. Maybe Spurs have booked him to get people in the stands earlier to drink and eat.

[Futtocks]

If Simmons is doing DJ duty and absolutely nothing else, it might not be too awful.

If I was Spurs, I’d have him on the pitch. That way people will be spending more time on the concourse boozing and eating to avoid him.

Martin Offiah is a DJ and does gigs all over the UK. If they wanted that they could have had someone who is iconic with the RL Challenge Cup final.

Simmonds FFS. I'm surprised we couldn't get Terry O'Connor doing community singing like it was in the 1970s and 80s?

Wonderful to have Lizzie back. So much better than that God awful person they had crucifying Abide with me and GSTQ last year.

[Man of Kent]

Is that it? 

[StandOffHalf]

What does Simmons do?

Spinning plates, DJ-ing?

The Challenge Cup final pre match entertainment is almost non existent these days. Its like the RFL have just given up.

Shame. I’d prefer Cribbo if he could do one last Right Said Fred and Hole in the Ground.

[GUBRATS]

Pre match entertainment is the 1895 cup innit ?

You would make a good comedian or clown if they are looking for another.

Who decided that Alex Simmons and entertainment belong in the same sentence and why subject Lizzie Jones to the same bill as him?

I'd rather have the cowbells than him !!

 

[DavidM]

Awesome . Nearly as good as Baldrick’s Charlie Chaplin act 

[RigbyLuger]

Obviously I'm not a fan, but really do fail to see why the RFL media department has wasted time and effort on making a video on him, rather than a million and one other more deserving and important things in the sport.

Might as well have had Gerry Sinclair
