I absolutely love the new wembley, it was my 1st visit and I think the stadium itself is awesome.
However I was disappointed with the atmosphere on Saturday, even though I was sat at the Wigan end, I could here far more noise coming from the Leeds end !!!

Well, I would take Cardiff back any day. Wembley stadium is large and impressive, the views are good etc, but it does lack a bit of soul. What I miss though, is the pre and post match atmosphere in Cardiff. There's nothing around Wembley really, except a few very, very overcrowded pubs and the odd forecourt. I've now been to CC finals at Old Wembley, New Wembley, Murrayfield, Twickenham and Cardiff, and in all honesty Cardiff is miles ahead as a match-day experience.

and worst of all "Olympic Way". WTF is Olympic Way?
It was my wifes first visit and she loved it, but like people who never went to central park, there's nothing to compare it too.
Lots of space in the seats though was good. Luxury for someone who is 6'3".'"
It has been called "Olympic Way" since it was built in 1948. It is usually called "Wembley Way" but that isn't, strictly speaking, the correct name. So you can't blame the New Wembley development for that one. |

Even before I hit the floor I thought I'd broken my jaw, but the cheekbone was so depressed I couldn't move it

Oh well I'll blame Ritchie Mathers instead.
In all seriousness I never knew that. |

I have much knowledge.
Almost none of it is actually any use. |
