Challenge Cup Winners 2009, 2010, 2012:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24175.jpg



What do people reckon the crowd will be for Saturday's showpiece?

I'm gonna go for just under 60,000. Will certainly be the lowest at the new Wembley and probably the smallest Challenge Cup final crowd since the 1940s.

Sure there will be a massive Warrington contingent there, as well as a few thousand Catalan fans. Could the RFL have done more to attract neutral fans?

Quote: sally cinnamon "I live in London, and I didn't see any marketing anywhere of the Challenge Cup Final, other than the emails I got from the RFL because I've bought tickets for RL events before.
'"


Then the RFL need to be de-bagged and raddished.
They should've been all over the London marketing of the Final, when they announced that the semis were going to be a double header.

Even if Saints beat Cat's, it's still not going to be a sell out

Quote: Wires71 "Fair points. I would counter with the fact that 85,000 watched Catalans vs Saints in 2007. Take off Club Wembley 16K if you wish (even though that is mathematically suspect as it assumes 0 people sit in club wembley seats).

You say "Perhaps Wembley is too big now for the Challenge Cup" - what on earth has happened to cause this fall from the traditional 80-85k spectacle that persisted for decades?'"


For me, there are two things, there are hardly any play makers left, and the game is so repetitive in five drives and a kick. Unfortunately, as Catalans have done it so effectively and successfully during their challenge cup campaign, I can only see this continuing. The last world cup final lacked any quality with ball in hand as well, ending in a 6-0 scoreline.
Dave Solomona was overweight with the best years behind him when he played for us, but his short spells contained more creativity and interest than in some entire games these days. Are superleague attendances dropping I wonder?

The CCF MUST stay at Wembley, even if Saturday's attendance was poor.
It's been it's home for nearly a Century, and it's probably the sport's greatest exposure each year.
The only changeswe need, is in the sport's marketing, particularly for one of it's showpiece events, and it's position in the calendar..
The RFL hierarchy should be ashamed of themselves, if it's not been marketed in the London area. Pathetic

Whilst the attendance was down,do you think the usual club wembley members would have put up with the queues to get in and running out of wine at one of the kiosks pre game.Also thought i was back at the HJ watching the inept attempts to serve drinks at half time

Stick it on groupon was the only thing they did
