Andrew Schofield, of M&M Engineering, who sponsor Wakefield Trinity, is attending the big match with 17 of his family, friends and collegues.

He said: "To be at Wembley is incredible.

“There’s been loads of people saying there’s more Wakefield fans than there are Wigan and Warrington!"

Phil Cowsey said: “It’s great to be at Wembley for a Cup final but it’s even better when it’’s your team you grew up with.

"After 45 years as well, it’s massive!”

Another fan, Gill Harpin, also shared her support.

She said: “It’s incredible and it’s so amazing that we’re here at Wembley. It’s going to be a good game.”
