Quote: ant1 "What impact may the Olympics have had on the final? A good number of neutrals may have decided to spend their spare cash on attending the games instead of visiting Wembley to watch a Cup Final re-run from 2010. Missing an annual event to attend a once in a lifetime opportunity will have swayed many neutrals in my opinion.'"
We didn’t go this time because of the Olympics not that we went to them, it was just that the lad who normally organises our trip found at the time of looking the hotels seemed to be bumping the prices up, so we all decided not to bother, even though the hotel prices have since come back down.
So we did the ale trail
and watched the game in the birth place of rugby league instead, you’d think they’d have a big screen.
