Wembley for the simple reason that I hated the locals when we were at MM.


Some cock asked my mates cousin (12) if he was english and when he said yes spat on him. This bloke must have been at least early 20s. And rugby fans get a bad name!

Talk about a chip on your shoulder!

Feckem. We gave the WRFU and Wales Tourist Board their chance with Milennium Magic, they screwed us and we had to take it away from Cardiff a year early.

If they want another premier RL event, they should first demonstrate that they're up to it.

The Challenge Cup Final and Wembley are synonymous with each other. This should never change, IMO.

However, MS is a great stadium and the area can just make any event seem better than it may actually be. I think it definitely needs something there. Thought we had it with MM, but it's a shame it didn't work out with the Welsh Tourist Board.

The idea of having the semis as a double-header there sounds a good-un, except that the place is huge and wouldn't sell out (well maybe not right away). If you shut the upper tier however, I reckon you could easily sell out the bottom and middle tier with the 4 teams fans + neutrals. Fans complain that they wouldn't be able to afford all these events on a short notice, but this year it is 10 weeks between the quarters and the semis, plenty of time to save up the pennies. I'm sure if they got to the final they'd find the cash because no-one would want to miss that (well, except Saints fans who might as well have an annual seat there).

Perhaps a good way to get more neutrals to go would be to have a sevens tournament there on the same weekend for the teams that aren't involved (or maybe even include them, but they'd have to put a weakened side out obviously. Shouldn't be too hard with a small sevens squad). Could have games switch between MS and Cardiff Arms Park to get as many games played as quickly as possible?

Cardiff for me

Longer travel time but a much more hospitable place with a better atmosphere and the ability to mix with other fans, simply not do able in Wembley unless you're on Wembley Way/ the concourse 30 minutes before the game.

Cardiff jsut has something special about it i think.

Cardiff, no question. I was very disappointed with the new Wembley - What a boring place to be.

The old one was even worse - so much excitement in the build up to going to the mecca that was Wembley and when i got there it was like....' huh is that it ?, what a hole !! '

not been to the 'new' one yet though so cant comment on that

Wembley for me, how about having the northern rail cup final as a curtain raiser?

Gives that competition an added edge too.

It gets better when your team plays there

Why does it have to? Do any semis (apart from them being played in stupidly small stadiums) sell out any way?

Cardiff would get my vote

Wembley all the way and stuff Cardiff up their Union ....... I've been to both and OK, all you who reckon Cardiff for all the other charms!!!! go there and drink yourselves silly. But for all those who enjoy the rugby and then a good time after.....just get yourselves down to London and join the tube to enjoy the best of theatre, jazz clubs, and some fantastic comedians to more than satisfy the whole of the weekend. Leave Cardiff alone, and join in the mix of league fans along the west end of London at some great pubs......grannyfan Cindy
