One person wrote: “I’ve been the old and the new Wembley, and now Tottenham. 100 percent think the RFL and Tottenham Hotspur should work on getting it back there.”Another replied: “For me, my last visit to Wembley was the Challenge Cup in 2017. The stadium was half full and the atmosphere was flat. Massively different to Saturday, better crowd and a quality atmosphere, and the stadium is first class.”

Another supporter also pointed to the fact that Wembley had lost its shine in recent years.

They wrote: “We had cup finals around the north, Wembley was a new adventure but today, 90,000 isn’t achievable. 61,000 at Spurs with the facilities is about right. I’ve never been as a neutral but the experience may make me think twice.”
