So Catalans have reached the Challenge Cup Final. Well done to them.
But the actual final attendance will be an embarrassment for the RFL, with Catalans unlikely to bring more than 2 or 300 FANS.
Guess there will lots of competitions to win tickets for this game, infact it's a MUST.

Wow we have a clairvoyant in the group, or somebody pretending to be one.....

No wonder the game has to move away from the grim council estates and interbred villages near Pontefract.....

You could look at it both ways I suppose. Good for the game in one way, not so good in another. Let’s see how good the RFL marketing department is selling the game (if they have one?!)

There are always huge gaps at wembley whoever is playing.even with around 70k there, a very good crowd, that still leaves around 20k plus of empty seats and looks bad on TV. I think its refreshing to see Catalans make the final and they go there with a genuine chance of lifting the trophy and creating a story that would make big news like when Sheffield won it two decades ago.

Lots of neutrals will be there shouting on Catalans.

Players getting changed for a semi-final of their premier cup competition...........in a portacabin.
Only in rugby league.

Knew we would get a thread like this soon as Catalan won.

As already said, let's see if the RFL can market the game properly. I think we all know the answer, but when the guy at the top is on 1/4 million pounds a year we really ought to see something a bit better than the usual below-averageness

Yeah right Jean.

FFS, It doesn't take long. Catalans win a semi final with a fantastic performance and in doing so create a bit of a story, "French side at Wembley" and all we get is effing moans about the potential attendance. Rugby League doesn't need its detractors outside the game, there are plenty within it.

In future lets restrict Challenge Cup entry to Leeds, Wigan, Saints and Warrington

Catalans have been in a Challenge Cup Final before, I do believe it was a record attendance for the new Wembley.

It was the 1st ever challenge cup final at the new Wembley stadium. Full of Saints fans and neutrals...but you already knew this didn't you ? POOR EFFORT

We had poor attendances for the last few years. Wire and Wigan in the last two finals brought well under 20,000

Who cares how many they bring. They deserve their spot and could actually win It!

Doesn't the other code have finals in different countries? I am sure Spain recently hosted a final Between and Irish and Parisian side and got 52k......if we can't match that then we may as well pack up....
