It's supposed to be one of biggest games in the sport. So the fact it hasn't even come close to selling out is a worry from the sports point of view.
From my own point of view it won't stop me myself from enjoying the day but if you think it's a point that should be brushed under the carpet I do worry.
It hasn't been close to selling out since the return to Wembley - yet the powers that be at the RFL do not appear to promote this show piece in an effective way.
Personally I'd like to see the Final venue change. Perhaps have it on a rotation (Wembley / Cardiff / Edinburgh / Old Trafford). Despite being geographically a challenge to get to, Cardiff was pretty much full for its hosting of the final.
Wembley as a venue is poor as its surroundings have little to offer for a large crowd
