[simmy1]

have been talking to stains fan at work today who went to wembley he actually said wish been us and then final as the atmosphere was non existant,plus was far to exspencive ,says he and some of the stains fans have written to rfl and want other fans to do same requesting move to cardiff for future finals as wembley was empty exspencive with no atmosphere did anyone go who shares hes thoughts

we went got back today.
No not much atmosphere, the ground inside ok but bit like a concrete jungle outside. Not really impressed considering how long and how much money been spent.
Stewarding poor, your strulling with open drinks to go up to you 34th row seat and they want see your ticket every time you go down whether for loo or a drink of water.
I'd back him up go back cardiff
As for the sts fans what a miserable lot =, half of them left before the team lifted the cup and the others we saw on the way back to our coach had faces of doom.

he said it was worst final he ever been to they are going to put the petition online so i will ask him when and where he has put it he said even the players complaine of no atmosphere said it was to big a stadium(he drinks in same pub as scully,kfc and wellens)said they preferd cardiff especially atmosphere and the local people

Shocked!!!

I had a tremendous time at Wembley and was extremely impressed with the whole set up. It's a gargantuan stadium and a joy to behold when full.

The stewards will settle down when they become more confident in the secrurity issues, but surely showing your ticket didn't spoil your day out, chill out!!

The atmosphere was convivial if not the most robust I have ever encountered. I did find the lack of merchandising strange and saw NO flags or banners for sale either outside nor inside the ground, so I felt there was a distinc lack of flags which always adds to the spectacle during celebrations.

However on the whole a spectacular success. Cardiff has been a superb venue for the CC and it's been a priviledge to attend there whilst Wembley has been rebuilt.

But the Challenge Cup has come home to it's rightful place.

we never had probs about tickets as they only asked for ours as we went to our seat after that no probs. Mind u who is going to argue wi a scotsman in full highland dress

Its is impressive inside but yes lack of atmostspere. Also flags on sale outside but sign at turnstile says no flags

As for the Stains fans u thought they had lost or do the look misserable all the time

We all went and had a gr8 time mind you we were in the same place as the binder clan.

wembley was outstanding the athmosphere at the bottom of wembley way b4 you went in was un beleivable ,as 4 the sts fans who are bored with winning been there done that ,but wish we were u r now enjoy it b4 its gone.The stadium inside was grat a litttle down on athmosphere but im sure if it was a local derby ,ie sts vs wigan or leeds vs bradford would be a diffrent story >every1 new what wasa coming
