Wembley Switch

This year's Rugby League Challenge Cup Final, due to be held late August at Wembley, has now been switched to Twickenham, home of Rugby Union.

Let's hope that the Olympics are better organised.

i'm glad it's twickenham rather than cardiff - english venue, rugby venue (albeit a difference code).

What worries me is that the FA really belive they have a cash-cow/golden goose in Wembely Stadium. I don't think it's going to pull in the revenue they think it will and if they loose events of the prestige of the Challenge Cup then they'll soon be bleating about it. For example, I am totally against them having cup semi's there since it purely a money making exercise - they need to recoup their money fast, but it'll only penalise the fans.
