Unlucky on last night Warrington, but think back to earlier this year after we had trounced you at Belle Vue when you were calling for James Lowes's head. I losely predicted you for at least reaching the semi-final for the Challenge Cup and now that you're in the final, all the very best of luck to you next Saturday!

Yorkshire for me. Hudds all the way - bitter rivals or not they're playing great rugby this year.

I agree. Although I really (really really really...) wanted Saints to win in the semi I had to applaud how well Huddersfield played, and they thoroughly deserved the win. Add to that the fact that they nearly beat Saints last night with a team of youngsters and it seems there's some good things going on down at the Galpharm.

However, I still don't like them so I'll be cheering for a Warrington win, although I don't think their forwards will hold up to Huddersfield's.

I'm so pleased that the final is going to have a fresh name on it, it been a long time for both clubs to taste victory in the cup, our rivalry with huddersfield makes me sways to warrington, then there's the fact that warrington being across the border sways me the other way

I can't make my mind up now

Normally my Yorkshire bias would win over in most decisions like this but the fact that Shudds fans still shout 'Fartown' (don't they realise they've moved ?) and also that they put out a virtual reserve team last night while Warrington put out more of a full side, I have more respect for Warrington so will probably support them, a Ben Westwood hat-trick will do me. Though as long as it is a good game I don't really care

Fartown is our nickname just like some of your fans still refer to Trinity, even though someone thought the Wildcats was a good idea. When it's been a part of your life for so long you just got keep it going.

As someone mentioned rivals, traditionally Fax are Hudds rivals. When we play it's usually called the infirmary cup game even when it's a league game. Were not often in the same division tho.

And to the Wakey fans supporting the Giants, thank you. This is the challenge cup. Only the most one eyed Giants fan wouldn't support Wakey in the final against another county. The league is forgotten about for a day.

That's because it is still our name.

Dammit, its fans like you who make me want to change my mind about Huddersfield. But then every time I do another numpty comes along (Marsden has been quiet for a while - is he banned?).

Anyway, I hope you and every other decent Hudds fan have a great day out at Wembley, your team have done very well this season (although really, just two wins better than us ) and the future does look good for you. If you play to your best then you're likely to steamroller Warrington and despite the arrogant idiots in your supporters I will enjoy watching it, as I enjoyed the good rugby you played in the semi.

But I'll be cheering on the Wire, as the few numpties you have in your supporters are unfortunately so vociferous they make me forget yorkshire/lancashire rivalry. I genuinely admire what you've achieved this season, and am not jealous since we're also heading in the right direction.

I guess my rant basically equates to "well done to the Huddersfield club and genuine suporters on their excellent achievements this season, and well done to the idiots within the supporters for making many people hate them"
