Clare Balding introduces live coverage of the Carnegie Challenge Cup final between Warrington and Huddersfield from Wembley live on BBC ONE 14:10 on the 29th August 2009. Warrington have had a reputation for underachieving in recent years but have reached their first Wembley final since 1990 and now have the chance to win the Challenge Cup for the first time since 1974. Huddersfield have had a terrific season in this year’s Super League but even so caused something of a shock by beating holders St Helens in the semi-finals earlier this month. The Giants have not won the famous trophy since 1953 - will their long wait end this year? Commentary comes from Dave Woods and Jonathan Davies. Guests in the studio will be Brian Noble, Justin Morgan and pitch side Robbie Paul will be giving his analysis on the action .

No need get mad mucker, enjoy the game and be thankfull your missing the red button show, instead of being at home and able to watch the red button show of some other team !

A whole 20 minutes build up.



The BBC are really pushing the boat out there.

is it on bbc HD?

About as likely you turning out to be an real woman.

You can tape the red button on freeview if you plug the box into the video player but the only problem is you would have to leave it on channel 1 before you went out and then change the channel to 301 at 4.30 otherwise no

20 mins build up, they give more than that to Eastenders with that bloke whizzing around, playing basketball in his wheelchair.

Yes - I noticed that when they plugging it at the end of the last SL show.



They had more for the semi.



That really is rubbish. You would hope at least 45 minutes.

I remember 2005 (when we last went). They did the feature on John Kear, Rob Burrow and the "Challenge Cup Challenge" quiz in The Willows. A good bunch of build-up.



Just shows how many monkeys the BBC could give over Rugby League these days.

Had a discussion about this on the virtual terrace. It's an absolute disgrace that the BBC are treating our showpiece occasion as if it were just another game. You wonder if it would be the same had Saints or Wigan made the final but that shouldn't make a difference should it.

Maybe its because they are showing live coverage of the qualifying session for the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix before the game...

BBC website has had kick off as 3pm for days. What do you expect from them?

I remember that one. They had Ganson as a "Mystery Guest" in the Challenge Cup Question of Sport. They also interviewed him in the referees dressing room because it was his first CC Final or something like that.

It's been changed now to 2.30pm.



I'm still waiting for the big news though............who's going to referee the damn thing!!!
