Thats the one thing i don't think should ever change. The Challenge Cup final should always be at Wembley, its tradition and should stay that way.

Do other sports not have this problem then?

I wasn’t by any means saying it was a perfect idea just wondering what people thought about getting a permanent base that was better than the stadiums we currently have in the league to properly showcase our top games in.

I do feel we need a base however that people know as the home of RL.

location
Ashbourne, Derbyshire (why not) central and unknown

capacity
80 k

sliding roof like millenium stadium

use it for concerts too and anything else except athletics (no dodgy running track) make it intimate as possible with the front row only a metre from the touch line


Build it and they will come

Do you not think it would be a major boost to have our own stadium to call our own. As far as i can see we are the only potential major sport which doesn't have one. Some names are intertwined with the sports they house Wimbeldon, Wembley, Lords and Twickers everyone knows the sports they hold and they are known as the homes for that sport what is our home?

Some people would say W1g4n

You've answered your own question. And the sooner we return to the pre99 status quo and play internationals there as well as the Cup Final the better.
