The eyes of over a million BBC viewers across the country will be on the Salford Red Devils on Sunday afternoon as we aim to secure our first trip to Wembley since 1969 in the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Semi-Final against Wigan Warriors.
The Red Devils have already overcome Toronto Wolfpack, Hull KR and Wakefield Trinity in the competition so far and are one win against the old enemy Wigan away from claiming a place in Rugby Leagues showpiece event in August.
After a hugely successful regular season, the response from the Salford Red Devils supporters has been superb, selling out two allocations of tickets in just over 4 weeks, and we know that even more people will be supporting the Red Devils from their living rooms and from pubs across the city on Sunday afternoon.
A Wembley berth would be a huge statement of intent and achievement from Ian Watson’s side, who have been Super League’s surprise package this year, and the team are ready to put the Red Devils on the national stage.
