The Greatest Day : Sun Aug 28, 2016 7:07 am  

Surely yesterday was the greatest day in Hull FC's history?

For me it easily surpassed 1982 Replay win and the 2005 win at Cardiff. To have finally got that sodding monkey off our back at claim that Wembley win was sensational. To have done so by defeating the clubs in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th in the league must be unprecedented.

We now need to enjoy the win - hopefully a big turnout tomorrow - and then push on to the Grand Final.

Hopefully only a twelve month wait for out next Wembley win too

It needs to be the catalyst for a period of sustained success. Great, great day which will be with me forever

I dont think I have ever been so drained watching game of rugby but I couldnt help but think of the last 20 minutes against Kr and think we can still do this.

Still would appreciate if the win the next one by half time so I can enjoy it more.

Such a great day watching them lift that cup.

Certainly the greatest day in my 40 years of supporting the club and almost certainly the greatest day in our long and proud history.

A memory to cherish for the rest of our days. Let's hope this is the start of something extraordinary and not the culmination of a brief success.

18 hours on from the final hooter and I'm still on cloud ten and I don't think I'll be coming back down for a few days yet.

I feel lucky that at the age of 25 I have already seen 2 Challenge Cup wins. People have waited much much longer than me for this and I'm utterly delighted for every single one of them.
This team just doesn't know when they are beaten. And as mentioned above, this win needs to kick start a continued period of challenging for honours.

Not just the greatest day in Hull FC history for me, but the greatest day of my life. Heartbreaking that my grandad is no longer here to have witnessed what he waited so long to see.
Emotional day all round.

It'll be bigger if we kick on and win more over next few years. Feels like a massive pressure has been let off.

Re: The Greatest Day : Sun Aug 28, 2016 10:44 am  

Certainly my best day as a fan of our great club. This season we've beaten the rest of the top 5 to win the cup at Wembley and are top of Super League, 80 minutes from Old Trafford, and have genuine candidates for Coach of the Year and Man of Steel. Just think where we were a couple of years ago, an astounding transformation. Savour this moment in our history, dreams were realised this weekend which many have waited decades for. A wonderful achievement and genuine optimism for the road ahead.

Certainly the proudest day for me supporting the club.

The effort was outstanding, everyone put their bodies on the line.

Whenever I replay Danny Houghton's tackle, I expect him to miss it and for me to wake up from the dream of winning the cup at Wembley!!

"The Greatest Day"? - more like "The Longest Day", well the last 5 minutes anyway.

I'm still not convinced I didn't nod off at half time on Good Friday and I'm still dreaming

Cardiff in 2005 was fantastic but it wasn't a patch on yesterday.

It truly was the greatest day in the 38 years i've been following them.
