I went on Sat and try to get down every year. It's still a highlight for me and I'm sure for others too.

The problem is that people have an obsession with empty seats, which I agree doesn't look good, but 76k is still a good crowd if you take it as a stand alone figure. Although I accept the point about Club Wembley, which hopefully will not be a problem any longer.

Wembley is a massive stadium and we just need to accept that it's difficult to fill considering that a lot of our fan base is Northern. Travelling down to and possibly staying in one of the most expensive cities in the world is a tough ask for those who simply can't afford to do that.

I think a lot also has to do with the reduced quality that we have now and the last couple of finals have been one-sided so I can imagine that would put people off

I think football are having the same problems with the FA Cup. Obviously they will still sell it out, but it's lost something.

I think we just live in a sporting society where the league is the ultimate prize and the cup is secondary. Possibly changing the scheduling would help, but it needs to stay at Wembley 100%

It's also an expensive day trip and has now become one of many.In the past the league was won by the team that finished top - no special day out needed,it was won over the season. Now we are asked to spend out on a trip to the Magic Weekend in Newcastle, a trip to Wembley for the cup, a trip to Manchester for the Grand Final. It's a big and expensive ask and some people will have to pick and chose which they would prefer to attend. Not everyone has unlimited finances!

Only if it's free

Would hope our attendances next year will be up but we have the same issues in increasing crowds as every club. An extra thousand or two would be good.

Come on he was joking I reckon. Lets hope we gain 1000 fans from this for next year. Would be great to do just that I reckon.

One of the major problems is the RFL. They are terrible at promoting our game and building excitement.

Personally, I would also like to see it return to Cardiff.
