| I went on Sat and try to get down every year. It's still a highlight for me and I'm sure for others too.
The problem is that people have an obsession with empty seats, which I agree doesn't look good, but 76k is still a good crowd if you take it as a stand alone figure. Although I accept the point about Club Wembley, which hopefully will not be a problem any longer.
Wembley is a massive stadium and we just need to accept that it's difficult to fill considering that a lot of our fan base is Northern. Travelling down to and possibly staying in one of the most expensive cities in the world is a tough ask for those who simply can't afford to do that.
I think a lot also has to do with the reduced quality that we have now and the last couple of finals have been one-sided so I can imagine that would put people off
I think football are having the same problems with the FA Cup. Obviously they will still sell it out, but it's lost something.
I think we just live in a sporting society where the league is the ultimate prize and the cup is secondary. Possibly changing the scheduling would help, but it needs to stay at Wembley 100%

| It's also an expensive day trip and has now become one of many.In the past the league was won by the team that finished top - no special day out needed,it was won over the season. Now we are asked to spend out on a trip to the Magic Weekend in Newcastle, a trip to Wembley for the cup, a trip to Manchester for the Grand Final. It's a big and expensive ask and some people will have to pick and chose which they would prefer to attend. Not everyone has unlimited finances!

Only if it's free
Would hope our attendances next year will be up but we have the same issues in increasing crowds as every club. An extra thousand or two would be good.

| One of the major problems is the RFL. They are terrible at promoting our game and building excitement.
Personally, I would also like to see it return to Cardiff.

Just a little joke. In all seriousness that turnout deserved to be applauded. Had a club such as Wakefield, Huddersfield, or Salford won the Cup the best turnout would've been somewhere under 5,000. And that's being generous.

| I'm glad Hull won and Dire lost but can't believe some have been calling it a 'classic'. It certainly wasn't that for me.

Yea it should be applauded , excellent turnout and really pleased for Hull FC, they're a good bunch.
Imo if Wakefield had somehow won it, far more than 5000 would have turned out though. Simply because of how long it's been since we've won something, plus the turmoil we've been through. It would have been a huge deal for the City. People around the City would have loved to have been a part of it because it may not have happened again for many. There's a serious underbelly of can't be d Wakefield supporters that would of shown up (especially because it's free), in a similar way to how 23k went to watch Hull's celebrations but don't show up to watch Hull FC each week. Just look how many turned up to games when we were giving tickets away cheap a few years ago.

I have always said that it is daft that top teams only have to play 3 games to get to the final. I know with the current format the bottom four of super league enter a round earlier but it still isn't exactly many games to win such a prestigious prize.
BBC are contracted until 2020 at least and the final is listed by ofcom which means it has to be on free to air tv so you have a bit longer to wait for sky to get it completely.

Bur that does not stop the RFL trying to get a better offer from ITV, or Channel 4 or even Channel 5.
The way the BBC treat our game in comparison with Snooker and now Womens Football is a disgrace.
A example being last Saturday's Final when they could not even show Hull FC celebrating with their supporters on a lap of honour at the end of the coverage.
