Jumping the gun a bit but should we win does anyone know where the final will be played? I assume it is a neutral ground, not the highest-placed finalists' stadium.

The final will be staged at the ground of the highest-seeded finalist, as has been the case every year since the current play-off format was introduced in 2019.

If I can find a stash of inflatable hammers to bring along on Sunday, anyone else going to join me?

I'm fairly sure it's not a neutral ground; I'm not sure why I think this though. And Google isn't helping.

It was not neutral when we played Toronto in the final. We had to go to Canada. I guess if we win at Fev we will have to go to Toulouse or Bradfart.

Do inflatable hammers sing I'm for ever blowing bubbles?

I struggle a bit with Featherstone & heaven in the same sentence, but your song is better.

To back up what others have said, Leigh played Batley at LSV in the 2022 "MPG".

Batley, if you recall, upset the apple cart by beating Fev in the semi. Good luck in emulating that.

We've got to hope that we play to the best of our abilities, and that Fev choke - again!
Oh yes, and that it doesn't rain................................

It’s going to be sunny. It’s our year. Rumour has it we will be having an open top parade when we win the league. Only snagging point is which part of London it will be held in.
