i go to Wembley every year no matter what as it is a weekend away with the boys and now most of us are married or living in sin its one of the only times that we get to have a good sesh together.
The Grand Final does not have the same appeal to me.
poor turnout when you think its on the door step of a lot of rugby towns. thinks its time for the rest of the super leagues to step up the mark and lets see if we can get 2 different teams there next year, hope we are one of them
At least when Wigan were winning everything, they did it with some variety, beating a different team in the CC final almost every year. During those dominant years, off the top of my head, they beat Cas, Hull, Widnes, Leeds, ourselves, Saints, Halifax...
Saints fans are sick of seeing their team lose in the GF, so don't bother going, nor do the neutrals want to pay to watch Leeds continue to beat Saints.
If a few other teams begin to lose to Leeds in the GF, maybe we could see an increase in interest and attendances. No doubt fans would be happy to see their team reach a final for a change and Old Trafford may sell out again.
