I'm following on from a topic that was looked at briefly in another thread but seen as the new Wembley is just that 'New' the tradition seems to have gone out of it.

Who would prefer the match at Cardiff? Although Wembley is a great stadium it is hardly ideal with regards to location and in my opinion the enjoyment the fans got in Cardiff should not be something the rfl and us as fans should miss out on.

So Wembley or Millennium Stadium?

You decide. Try to give reasons where you can.

IMO, Wembley purely because it's tradition. Aren't they doing up the surrounding area of Wembley anyway?

Pubs far better around the millenium stadium and more of them. Nice castle to stroll around to. millenium stadium gets my vote.

Dont think that i will be seeing widnes there in the near future though.

The fans loved Cardiff.

Cardiff and the Millennium Stadium needs an annual RL event and the CC is as good as any.

Thats the only thing that lets Wembley down, when that's sorted it should be spot on.

some of the locals in cardiff where less than friendly towards league.
the taxi driver who told us the final had been called off.
the group of lads who start6ed singing at us and accusing us of intefereing with animals cos we had league shirts on :roll:
the area around wembley is a dump and there isnt a decent pub within some distance.... hard decision :THINK:
