Three generations of family of Wakefield Trinity fans set for Grand Final at Old Trafford

The Wiggins family were at the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday to see Trinity defeat Wigan Warriors 33-6 in the Super League play-off semi-final.

And they will travel to Old Trafford on Saturday October 3 when Trinity face Warrington Wolves in the Grand Final.

Craig Wiggins, 51, of Crofton, has supported Trinity since he was four and follows the club home and away.

Craig went to the game with mum Christine, his wife Kirsty and sons Logan, 13, Jake, 11, and daughter Maizie, eight.

Craig, who grew up in Belle Vue, said: "The atmosphere was electric. It's something I've not experienced in a long time. It's the best atmosphere I can remember since we won the Yorkshire Cup in 1992.

"It's massive. To come from getting relegated three years ago to a Super League Grand Final, it's what dreams are made of.

"I cried like a baby towards the end when I knew we were going to win.”

Logan, who plays second row for a Bronte Barbarians junior rugby league team, said: "It was brilliant. It was exciting and emotional."

Jake said: "It was an amazing atmosphere. I was proud for us to get through to the Grand Final and a little bit emotional.”

Christine, of Belle Vue, has supported Trinity since she was seven.

She said: "It was out of this world. It was electrifying. I've never seen as many men with tears."

Craig said: "We are going to be cheering them on from the Stretford End. It's my first Grand Final and I just can't wait to take in the atmosphere and the build up in the Theatre of Dreams.

"We have got a motto as a family – dare to dream – and that's what we have done. A dream has now become a reality and it's going to be amazing – win, lose or draw."

Vicky Ramsay is stewardess of Belle Vue Conservative Club, the local for Trinity fans.

She said: "We do have a massive fan base that leave from here."

"Everyone is happy. Everybody coming back after the game, getting off the buses, they all came in for a last drink.

"They were all on a high, all trying to book their tickets immediately for next week.

"The (Conservative) club will be providing sandwiches from 11am for travelling fans before they get on the coaches and we will be open for their return."

Trevor Horsfall, president of Bell Vue Conservative Club, said: "What they have done in three seasons from relegation to a Grand Final is absolutely astonishing.

"Owner Matt Ellis and his family and coach Daryl Powell have transformed this club. I'm a Rhinos fan, but on Saturday I'll be shouting for Wakefield."
