| Will never beat 1985 for atmosphere, officially 98 thousand but it's thought many hundreds scaled the walls, bribed the Wembley officials to get in that day. Wigan took well over 40,000 that day and was that packed you were unable to stand still as you were moved along in the crush like a wave. Still for me, the noisiest atmosphere to this day.

Couldn't agree more i've never been as squashed as i was at that game, although the 1988 final was pretty packed aswell, both had atmospheres that still make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.....simply awesome.

| Old wembley every time! Although that wouldnt have been as good if they'd had a louder PA and played music at the times when fans traditionally sing.

| What atmosphere, sterile environment, plasic cups on entry, small flags only, aged Stains muppets in Wigan end cheering on Leeds. And did I mention 8 pound return for 3 stops on the underground!

| not read the rest but has to be the old Wembley for me
this one has been built for one thing - corporate and money making (ok that's 2 but in essence its that same thing)
you couldnt beat the atmosphere outside the old place (and a bit in London as well) - cock tavern near Euston, the torch, wembley way and then the last couple of hours on the grass banks for a bit of banter with whoevers fans walked by
now you get nothing near the stadium unless you're lucky enough to maybe get into a bar or petrol station forecourt, and to top everything off if your daft enough to not take your own your paying over £4.50 a pint

| Didnt seem to be any atmosphere before the game as mentioned. We started a few songs on the Wembley walk prior to the game (mainly to people in Wire shirts) but no bands etc.

I loved this. As 'Er Indoors and the kids are all Warrington fans I've had to put up with all the 'jokes' for the last few years - it was a pleasure to watch them suffer for a change.
As for the Stadium - the view is streets ahead of what it used to be but frankly I'd rather have the atmosphere that we had in '85.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good

sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

| As a facility it is the best stadium in the world.
For everything else it is pretty shocking. The atmosphere is terrible. The seats have huge gaps in between them, you could easily get 100,000 seats in that stadium.
I wish the bottom tier was standing behind the goals, it would be awesome.
I can't believe it doesn't have a roof as well. It should have for the money they spent. It would improve the atmosphere a lot.

| I was sat by the half-way line, and the atmosphere was better when I watched the game back on the TV than when I was there.

| The atmosphere would be a lot better at these games if everyone stood up. Why are people happy to do it at grounds throughout the year and yet not for the biggest game of the season?

| Soulless place. No atmosphere inside or outside, no entertainment, no natural assembly point like the old grass banking
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".
