Challenge Cup 2025

[Dark Corner]

Well duh. Maybe coz it will look full? Instead of empty seat everywhere. And better atmosphere??

The members section in the middle never helps.....I can't stand Wembley any more.

Yeah, Wembley and London do nothing for me these days.

Maybe just bump the price up by a couple of quid to match potential sales of 63k-65k At Wembley.

60k in the etihad or anfield will look and sound way better than 63k in Wembley with 25k big empty red seats.

Your missing the point. We dont know who will be in the cup final. Lets say they use etihad instead and year 1 HKR and HFC get to the final. That's 30k people at 50 quid a ticket they would lose. It'd be business madness lol

What are the odds of a all hull final happening?

there hasn’t been a 80k Wembley crowd for a decade.

2015 was 80k with your mob and Leeds while 2016 was 76k involving hull fc who along with kr always take a great following to Wembley and wire.

since then there hasn’t been a 70k+ crowd and this year’s final is looking like another crowd in the low 60’s.

Joy of the unknown. take out the covid years and we had a game with Dragons and a game with Leigh, both who have very small fanbases.

excluding covid and the two clubs with small travelling fanbases, last few years:
68.5k
62.7k
65k

This year will probably be in the 65k range

next year who knows, depends who gets there, could be 65k could be 75k. Having Leeds and Sts miss a few years will see their fans flock back there if they get chance. If we got an all Hull final the place would be full. Having yet another marquee game in the north does nothing but kill the prestige of the cup off and cement the perception of RL being a small Northern game even further.

6 of those years were impacted by covid, venue change and small drawing clubs. Such is the cup. Im surprised Warrington fans arent flocking there, they must really think they have no hope.

Hull kr have been playing good footy. Really impressed with Willie Peters.
Hopefully they win, imagine it’d be a decent party in Esst Hull.

You could use the rain for good excuse, for empty seats everywhere

Three finals are taking place at Wembley today, and so far, the pitch seems to be holding up well.
