I like wembley, and the place has a historic place in the RL history, but I much prefer cardiff.

I think we should play the Grand Final at Cardiff every year with the roof closed icon_wink.gif

To split the difference we could have a double header semi final at cardiff and the final at Wembley. I no that is a lot of travelling for fans but if fans like both stadiums then why not. I personally wouldnt like that idea though id rather have the final at Wembley as in my life time my team has not got there and i want to have it there but thats for my selfish reasons.

I have been to wembley for other events i have found it really nice and there is a kinf of wow factor about it i feel.

If we were still playing as GB i'd have liked to have seen us take an international against the Australians to Cardiff with vastly reduced ticket prices(say £10 to sit anywhere) but thats not to be now.

Maybe a double header of Wales vs Ireland, Scotland etc followed by a quad nations game of England vs Australia would be a goer.

We'll have to see how Murrayfield Magic goes this year.

If it is anything less than a success then i think the rfl will be under pressure to bring it back to Cardiff as the fans will vote with their feet.

I'm paying to go for the weekend though and hope it is a success with good weather being vital.

Wembley

Easier to get to from the heartlands--tradition and hopefully they will never shut the roof and make the stadium seem like an overgrown leisure centre.

The trains leaving Wembley are never a problem whereas at Cardiff it was horrendous.

Wembley.....because it's 1 bus journey from my front door icon_cool.gif or as roofs would put it....on principle icon_lol.gif
I like Cardiff, but the CC final is a Wembley Final. I would rather that MM weekend was bounced around every year between Scotland, Wales, Ireland and (maybe) France and keep the CC at Wembley.

"Richard Agar, get out of my club!!!" If only Barbara Windsor was our chairperson...:11526.jpg



Wembley. The stadium itself is about a bazillion times better than the Millenium stadium. The RFL really needs to make more of the area around it though. Tons more stalls for food, drinking tents etc etc. Also the fact that there aren't any pubs near by shouldnt be a reason to not hand a cup final to a certain ground. Not that there aren't tons of pubs in London anyway that aren't that far away by tube

We went on train in 2005 and didnt find it a problem.......only bit was cardiff to bristol as every one was on it for that stop but from there to Hull was great....reserved seats and nice and comfy.

Each to their own.

I think Millennium Stadium gives fans a better, closer view of the action. It gives more a feel of being involved.

Some of the Wembley seats give you a feeling of being away from the action.

It was mainly due to the area around the ground. Once Cardiff Arms park is sold also the Millennium Stadium will be upwards of 80,000 so not too shabby in comparison.

Last year I went to Cardiff and Wembley.

For me Cardiff was by far a better experience.

Ive been to Millenium twice now. The first time we had to stay in Swindon and last year Swansea. Great nights out in both places with no bother at all. Short trips the next day to Cardiff, a few drinks whilst enjoying the experience around there and then into the stadium which I feel is much more customer friendly.

Wembley was good, bolstered perhaps by the fact that my club was there. On the nightime though we only saw people from our group and didnt meet any other rugby fans and during the day the only time everyone mixed was around Wembley Way where there is a massive lack of pubs for the venue.
