The Premier League season starts on the 12th of August and finishes on the 13th of May. Both the challenge cup final and magic weekend could be held in the off season when football stadiums are available. If only one of these events were to be on a bank holiday it surely has to be magic, doesn't matter too much either way with the cup final.

| Quote: Biff Tannen "I agree. We could even move the Challenge cup final around 4/5 large stadia around the country on a rotation (i wouldn't use OT due to GF being there), get rid of Magic weekend and move the final to the last bank holiday weekend in May where we would have no troubles clashing with the play offs at Wembley.
I like the idea of more internationals in London which is the arena where we should be pushing the sport to the max.'"
WELL SAID   |

I bought my Wembley ticket the day they went on sale, and was very happy to be in row 1 of the upper tier. Today, I find that I've had an automatic upgrade to Club Wembley. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't want to be sitting with the sort of people who would choose to go there, but I'll be honest and say I am interested to see what the view is like.

It's just a better stadium than Wembley full stop.
Even the location is better - Wembley itself is a dump whereas Cardiff is a beautiful city. |

Wembley is the home of the Cup Final. It's tradition. Let's not tamper with it.
Cardiff is an amazing venue. We need to create a new event for fans to go there. An annual game against Wales at Cardiff Arms Park would be a great start. Build it up and then move it to Millennium Stadium if it gets too big.

The new Wembley doesn't hold a candle to the old in terms of spine tingling atmosphere and everything that went with it. Plus, it is now around 20k too big. Just my opinion.
And, of course you have now finally won there so we can move on  |

Agreed, there was just something special seeing the twin towers and the atmosphere just seemed to hit you. Spine tingling it was, the new one just doesn't have that 'feel' to it

It must have been 77/78k from 1988 onwards as that was always the attendance given up until 1999 when the old ground was demolished. so around 12k difference. although we pretty much always filled the ground whatever the capacity if you take the 99k for 1985 final and 91k for 1987 as examples, but the CC was THE main event back then so stands to reason.
The attendances given at the new Wembley are inflated by several thousand by the adding on of club wembley seats even if they aren't in attendance so in reality the 75-80k crowds given are in reality struggling to hit 70k.
Will be interesting to see how it looks this year, how they go about filling it and what crowd figure is announced

The club Wembley seats been empty killed it for me didn't look good even with them going on general sale it just means it will be empty at the top even more a move to Cardiff would be the sensible option

The year they played England - Australia there 2011? And filled the bottom 2 tiers it looked loads better on TV. I still think the final needs moving away from the Bank Holiday weekend though, far too many other events for 'neutral fans to.visit instead. Leeds Festival and Creamfields attract thousands of young Northerners who might be tempted to go to Wembley or starters, add in a full Football schedule and your instantly thousands down on what crowd you could get in June/July.

Well, as we are now out of it, I think I'll give these club Wembley seats a try at £40 and hopefully be able to give Hull a shout in comfort
