1st visit to the new stadium,been to the old one a good few times,everyone kept saying the new one doesn't generate as good an astmosphere but from where I was sat in the top section the noise from both sets was very impressive.even the leeds songs seemed to reverberate around the place,just doesn't seem to come across as much on the tv.the atmosphere outside the ground however isnt half as good as it used to be and wembley could easily do more to rectify this.just my opinion.everybody elses thoughts ? all in all still a great day out

Better than any super league final I have been too
the atmosphere was awesome.

I wish the Super League final was held here.

Went to the old one a dozen or so times, may be my age but it's just not the same for me. A bit like the DW and central park, new..... yes, better view.... yes, that history filled magic.......no!!! Just another new build like all the others just bigger.

think you've just hit the nail on the head with that post,we like the history and the magic, to me central park and the old wembley felt like home,who knows in 8 years time so will the new wembley

I disagree (as do the rest other 28 in our party), really dislike the new Wembley. Sterile and soulless. We were in the upper tier and thought the atmosphere came across as poor and as for the atmosphere outside...there isn't one. Still can't wait to go back next year and lift the trophy again

seats.

I've got a whole rant inside me about the unnecessary loud music they play in every possible gap, including for 30 mins after final hooter went. But I'd better sober up and think more rationally before writing it. DW guilty too, including homecoming. Turn music up over crowd noise and all clap in time. Let the fans make the noise! We're certainly capable of it! Ah... it's turns out I just did have a rant. Sorry. Is it just me?? Loved the weekend though!!!

They need to fill that middle tier before sticking people in the God's. Is that the "team England corporate" bit or something? I am sure the atmosphere would be better if the stadium is not full but there are no huge gaps and that creates one.

Give me the old wembley of the late 80s, now that did generate an atmosphere. This was my first visit to "the new" wembley, there are great views from wherever you sit but the atmosphere (for me) was pretty lame.

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 !!!

Thought it was very poor maybe that was because i was on the upper tier the ground level seats may have been better. Seeing loads of empty seats doesnt help , anyway we won thats all that matters!!!

You will never beat standing for atmosphere, the nearest you will get is if a few thousands seats in the middle are deemed 'singing' seats so those of a more vocal persuasion can sit together and turn the volume up.
The amount of neutrals making a weekend of it is also on the decline. A lot of those neutrals came from the lower league clubs who had a dream, that dream has been taken away from us by the RFL and events such as the CC final will suffer as a consequence.
Personally Cardiff was a much better location for the CC final. A Rugby city with the craic on the doorstep of the stadium

the first thing i noticed was on the old stadium there was terracing outside all around the ground where supporters all converged with bands playing around the place, no atmosphere at all outside the new stadium. also i really missed the marching bands we had in the old stadium, i thought the entertainment was rubbish. nowhere near the atmosphere of the old stadium inside, but having the middle tier empty doesn't help, and the music during the lap of honour just drowns out the crowd noise.

I hate it. I hated it when I went in 2007 and I hated it this time round. It's poor. They need to sort out the joke that is club wembley too.

Rubbish. Totally underwhelmed. Old Trafford > (New) Wembley
