Won't go again unless Wigan are playing - hated it last year too much concrete and just awful too clinical nothing around it. At least the old Wembley had some grass, much prefer Cardiff and wish it would go back there.

Not going this year but went last year after winning a weekend trip.
We liked the stadium even though it is nothing like the old Wembley.

i went to the final in 1994 (even though i dont remember it because i was too young)
1998 which unfortunately i do remember
then from every final from 2001 onwards until this year. I cant see saints winning it again so i will not go until we return to our spiritual home.

Think of what you are missing!
Leading classical tenor Jonathan Ansell will headline the pre-match entertainment at the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium next Saturday.
Prior to kick-off, Ansell will give the first ever public performance of the specially recorded England Rugby League World Cup team anthem 'Hearts of England'.
The rousing and inspirational song has been produced by Universal Music in partnership with the RFL. Its lyrics capture the traditions and heartlands of Rugby League in this country as well as evoking the heroism and commitment of international teams competing on the world sporting stage.
Ansell will also be performing the National Anthem at Wembley and the classic Challenge Cup Final hymn 'Abide with me' in the build-up to the kick-off between Hull FC and St Helens.
Jonathan Ansell was previously a member of classical group G4. After leaving them, he released his debut solo album which shot to top of the classical charts and reached number 9 in the pop charts making him a major figure in the UK entertainment industry.
Ansell will be supported by the 100-strong Wimbledon Choral Society who will join him on the pitch to sing. The widely respected choir are known for their powerful performances and have previously appeared at the Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Albert Hall and on BBC TV's 1998 World Cup programme theme music.
This performance will be preceded by traditional Cup Final music from the Band of the Blues and Royals. The pre-game show will also feature a parade of honour by players from the Leeds and Wakefield clubs who played in the 1968 'Watersplash' Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.
Commenting on the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final pre-match entertainment, RFL Marketing Manager Phil Williams said, "We feel this year's pre-match entertainment will be a perfect mix of tradition, atmosphere and excitement.
"The uplifting performances by both Jonathan Ansell and the Blues and Royals will provide the perfect build-up to the big clash between the Hull FC and the Saints."
Williams added: "We feel this musical feast will generate tremendous anticipation and excitement among all supporters inside Wembley, making the whole day a sporting event not to be missed.
"We would encourage all those attending the final to take their seats as early as possible and savour what will be a very special build-up."
