| Wembley is after all the "national" stadium, so we should have a presence there. It was interesting that there were so many of the crowd who were not "traditional" RL fans. I was behind the posts among a ladies RU team (southern), Kiwis, Aussies and American teenage girls (!). The only RL type fans near were half a dozen Wakey fans who bemused the people round me with their constant shouts of "Gerrumonside" and crude references to the referee's sexual preferences. In the current economic situation, lots of people might not fancy a trip to London to watch a game, but I think the RFL did a pretty good job in attracting a fair sized crowd.

| I hope so yes. I'd definitely have a World Cup games there; either a double header to start the competition or the final and 3 v 4th game.
It's the national stadium so hopefully we'll be able to make ourselves known down there

| I really hope it's a regular feature from now on. I really enjoyed it.
I'd rather you left the dig at the 'likes of Leeds fans' out though. The Leeds fans all around me all had him down as their MOTM and even broke into a chant of "There's only 1 Sam Tomkins" at one point!

| Certainly the positives outweigh the negatives
It would be great to use Wembley everytime the 4N are in the UK

| Got to agree that it was a fantastic event. Loved it. Great atmosphere and the whole event was done very well. Sincerely hope a Wembley match features in the world cup (just not the final, as it could end up being empty!).
