Quote: Jaywire "Don't we pretty much fill Wembley and Old Trafford? Sadly there aren't any bigger sports arenas in the UK, so unless someone builds a bigger one that's still safe we won't. Prices would probably have to come down too, although if it's built to safely hold more than 100,000 people there will almost certainly be some awful views available for a pittance.'"
Sadly, I don't think that the capacity of available stadiums is the issue, it's more to do with a diminishing level of interest. This year there might be a drop off because of the economoc climate, together with both teams having recently been to finals.
I don't know what inspired the '54 crowd, perhaps a combination of a major sporting event being played relatively locally and a feel good factor moving on from WW2?
