Thats the one thing i don't think should ever change. The Challenge Cup final should always be at Wembley, its tradition and should stay that way.

Do other sports not have this problem then?
I wasn’t by any means saying it was a perfect idea just wondering what people thought about getting a permanent base that was better than the stadiums we currently have in the league to properly showcase our top games in.
I do feel we need a base however that people know as the home of RL.
3 World Club Challenges 19 League Titles 17 Challenge Cup wins ONE CLUB WIGAN RLFC
location
Ashbourne, Derbyshire (why not) central and unknown
capacity
80 k
sliding roof like millenium stadium
use it for concerts too and anything else except athletics (no dodgy running track) make it intimate as possible with the front row only a metre from the touch line
Build it and they will come
It's been fun.

Do you not think it would be a major boost to have our own stadium to call our own. As far as i can see we are the only potential major sport which doesn't have one. Some names are intertwined with the sports they house Wimbeldon, Wembley, Lords and Twickers everyone knows the sports they hold and they are known as the homes for that sport what is our home?
Some people would say W1g4n

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Maybe they could build a national stadium in Orrell , the home of Wig4n Warriors

You've answered your own question. And the sooner we return to the pre99 status quo and play internationals there as well as the Cup Final the better.
