Quote FoxyDread="FoxyDread"Yes committed supporters can make provisional plans and most will do but such short notice will deter many many casual supporters from the towns of the competing finalists, just the people you need to stop Wembley feeling like a cavernous bowl.'"
Since we have returned to Wembley, finals have attracted crowds of:
2013 Wigan v Hull: 78,137
2012 Warrington v Leeds: 79,180
2011 Wigan v Leeds: 78,482
2010 Warrington v Leeds: 85,217
2009 Warrington v Huddersfield: 76,560
2008 St Helens v Hull: 82,821
2007 St Helens v Catalans Dragons: 84,241
The lowest crowd of these (Warrington v Huddersfield) was better than the crowd for any final held at Cardiff, Edinburgh or Twickenham or any held at the old Wembley since 1997 (St Helens v Bradford).
Clearly getting to London doesn't seem to be [ithat[/i difficult.
