To split the difference we could have a double header semi final at cardiff and the final at Wembley. I no that is a lot of travelling for fans but if fans like both stadiums then why not. I personally wouldnt like that idea though id rather have the final at Wembley as in my life time my team has not got there and i want to have it there but thats for my selfish reasons.

I have been to wembley for other events i have found it really nice and there is a kinf of wow factor about it i feel.

If we were still playing as GB i'd have liked to have seen us take an international against the Australians to Cardiff with vastly reduced ticket prices(say £10 to sit anywhere) but thats not to be now.

Maybe a double header of Wales vs Ireland, Scotland etc followed by a quad nations game of England vs Australia would be a goer.

Cardiff.......at least we can win the bloody thing there :lol: :lol:

Like to see the G/F at cardiff though but with a aftrnoon kick off.

We'll have to see how Murrayfield Magic goes this year.

If it is anything less than a success then i think the rfl will be under pressure to bring it back to Cardiff as the fans will vote with their feet.

I'm paying to go for the weekend though and hope it is a success with good weather being vital.

Wembley

Easier to get to from the heartlands--tradition and hopefully they will never shut the roof and make the stadium seem like an overgrown leisure centre.

The trains leaving Wembley are never a problem whereas at Cardiff it was horrendous.

Wembley.....because it's 1 bus journey from my front door 8) or as roofs would put it....on principle :lol:
I like Cardiff, but the CC final is a Wembley Final. I would rather that MM weekend was bounced around every year between Scotland, Wales, Ireland and (maybe) France and keep the CC at Wembley.

Wembley. The stadium itself is about a bazillion times better than the Millenium stadium. The RFL really needs to make more of the area around it though. Tons more stalls for food, drinking tents etc etc. Also the fact that there aren't any pubs near by shouldnt be a reason to not hand a cup final to a certain ground. Not that there aren't tons of pubs in London anyway that aren't that far away by tube

We went on train in 2005 and didnt find it a problem.......only bit was cardiff to bristol as every one was on it for that stop but from there to Hull was great....reserved seats and nice and comfy.
