It was a very flat atmophere on Saturday . Had a good Laugh with some of the neutral fans. But there did not seen to be much comming from the Leeds & Wire fans. Even when walking around outside Wembley in our Wigan shirts, took very little abuse compared to usual .

Next time go to the "Greyhound" pub before the game. |

Well there were a damn sight more than 5000 empty seats in that ground.
Ignoring the farce that are club wembley seats there were an awful lot of pockets.of empty seats.
That happens. Can't be changed.
But that second tier was more empty than full and it kills the atmosphere!
Speaking of which...
I was looking forward to a "proper" wembley day but it never happened...
Two sets of supporters that didn't sing / chant and were very quiet

I think about 85k - i'd say about 15,000 Club Wembley seats (full or empty they get added onto the attendance) meaning 70k of fans turned up? Not too bad going.

Yep - CW really only caters for soccer fans; the CC final is the only non-football event included in the package. Seems silly to include it, really. |

Its upto the RFL though isn't it? I presume Wembley National Stadium Ltd will offer the RFL a discount and they will stick the prices of the CW up slightly. |

No doubting what every is saying about Club Wembley being less than half full but that will always be the case with Challenge Cup Final however Parsifal who made the original comment is clearly referring to the top tier (eg "ignoring the farce that are Club Wembely seats"icon_wink.gif which to suggest was anything other than almost full is completely wrong. |

i was in the top tier and it was completely full in both wire and leeds fans. middle tier had alot of seats empty through club wembley but i would say without club wembley 78k fans there wich is a good turnout. and only other match that would get higher is wign and wire.
