Didn't realise you went the Rugby final just to have a drink.

Some of us are able to drag ourselves away from the stadium and explore (you might have to look that up) the other parts of the city...

| The RFL has a contract with Wembley stadium to play one fixture there a year so why not play an international like in the old days, the first Test was always at Wembley.
Cardiff as a city has a lot of advantages for the Challenge Cup Final where fans want to make a weekend of it, it was very successful when it was down there. If it was down to me it would be CC Final at Cardiff and a Test match at Wembley, if we have the Four Nations how about have the first England v Australia match at Wembley. You would get a load of the London based Aussies going as well, make a good atmosphere.

| I love London but Cardiff is a much beeter venue to hold RL. As a community based sport its a great place whereby you're all in the same area and can make a weekend of it. London is just to big to generate the smae kind of buzz. We take over Cardiff, in London its just another event with very little impact on the wider community.

| I would consider mixing it up a bit.
If we have to play one fixture there then an ashes game would be a good idea or even a grand final.
I dont think wembley has the "magic" back yet , the club wembley thing is a joke for RL and I definitely enjoyed Cardiff more.
I would definitely move the current date at least a month earlier. Give it a clear weekend before the football kicks off. Last week in July would be good.

| Quote: crucrucrusaders "I'm following on from a topic that was looked at briefly in another thread but seen as the new Wembley is just that 'New' the tradition seems to have gone out of it.
Who would prefer the match at Cardiff? Although Wembley is a great stadium it is hardly ideal with regards to location and in my opinion the enjoyment the fans got in Cardiff should not be something the rfl and us as fans should miss out on.
So Wembley or Millennium Stadium?
You decide. Try to give reasons where you can.'"
Cardiff's great by all accounts, but winning at Wembley is that little bit extra special.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Wembley without doubt for me. It's a great stadium and a great tradition.
I do love Cardiff though and it's a stadium i hope we use in the future because it would be a shame to miss out on trips there.
I could possibly see a time where Fegie spits the dummy on the grand final being at Old Trafford and we move it to Cardiff.

| I prefer Cardiff, good pubs around the ground make for a carnival atmosphere. If we are going to grow are game its going to be in wales for now, then possibly Ireland or scotland. I'd love to see the Magic weekend in Ireland and CC final in cardiff.
