Something has to give as to keep,year on year seeing Wembley with acres of empty seats is damaging to the sport in my eyes,move the day by all means if that fails its time to bid a fond farewell to Wembley..and before we get onto the "tradition" arguement that ended when the bulldozers moved into the old place all those years ago.

The sport has to stop shooting itself in the foot and i think as Draper gets a tighter hold on the RFL this will happen but either way something needs to help the grand old girl out becuase its seemingly of little interest nowadays.

Totally agree.

Its Tradition that is killing the game. RL is still run as it was last century. Either move the CC final to end of May or 1st week in June or move it from Wembley.

Anfield holds 60k and the ideal ground given its location and size for the attendance that the CC final is getting. Getting to London is very very expensive and many would be forced into an overnight.

But the traditionalist will want it at a Wembley with declining attendances just because of how it was. We need to stop harping on about tradition its an excuse to hold onto a past that is throttling the game.

Difference between NRL and SL is that the NRL adapted to the pressure of Aussie Rules and Union. Problem is we have not and never will as long as we allow the past to dictate the future of the game.
