Grand Final : Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:02 am  

One of our senior players has tweeted that we're in a grand final next week. I'm happy for the team but Christ on a bike....Grand Final?????

I think that's the way the coaches of teams who ended up in the Championship Shield will have sold the last few weeks of the season - the chance to play in a Final (Grand or otherwise!) and win a trophy. Ok we all know it's "best of the rest" but it at least gives players and fans of London & Fev the chance to end the season on an upbeat note.

Agree. But It's what the competition is called, agree it's pretentious and slightly embarrassing....

Who cares, let them enjoy it. Some young guys that have had a tough season. As gets said on here, if you don't like what they write, ignore them and don't read it

Quite.

Like just about everybody else on here I was very sniffy about this loser's competition that we "qualified" for. But it has given the coach and players something to aspire to in what would otherwise have been a completely meaningless last couple of months of the season. And now that they've achieved a place in the final, I'd like to see them all fired up to win it.

So, COYB!

Great to be in a FINAL! let the young players enjoy it and hope it gives them encouragement for next season!

Do you think you'll bring many fans?

I appreciate it's a bit of a trek, to a town that's less than pleasent (Makes Fev look like Monte Carlo) but it would be good to have cracking atmosphere.

Many of you won't have witnessed a proper Fev away day, it's certainly an experience. Expect the Widnes branch of Wetherspoons to be dry by 3pm.

I am coming, though timing of game is a pain, getting home is going to be a real issue!

It also is advertised as the Chamionship Shield Final, not Grand Final, maybe the player getting overexcited!
