Just to correct you wimbledon as been granted full capacity for all 4 semis and both finals that's virtually 15,000 who could all be indoors if weather means roof as to be closed. While wembley staduim as one of biggest roofs for air to ciculate at almost 120x80 metres and on it's site says roof is 430,000 sq ft. Why is it that posh sports seem to be test events cricket, wimbledon even royal ascot was given phase 2 capacity of 60,000 over week this week. Told you 3 weeks ago about wimbledon would be given test status as also told you football pressuring for bigger capacity if England progress hence boris slipping in may be reviewed in 2 weeks hence covering his back. So once again rl will find out via what football can achieve, why wimbledon given test status in small arena, why not for instance say super league round 11 not test status with full capacity don't forget a lot of crowds have open ends. We have one and half sides open other grounds such as hkr, wakey even leeds have uncovered sections. Feel it's about time working mans sport gets same treatment as elitist ones

Wimbledon, Royal ascot, euro 21...all international events with big international broadcasting rights.

Challenge cup final is a 2nd tier sport in the uk... With a UK broadcaster.

We have to accept that we are not in the same category as those other sports events and as such we will follow what others do rather than dictate the rules/precidents

It’s irrelevant what the sporting event is, the virus doesn’t discriminate against a tier 2 sport ? Ultimately any event at Wembley after a half capacity as been set should be the norm. We do have the biggest idiots in the country making the decisions and they are all about greasing their own pockets

Is that per room or per person?

If its for the room that's a cracking deal.

There and back in the day for us on the train. We got day return for £33.50 each.

I have a friend that works for Virgin Rail and they get a very generous discount.

Having said that when I first checked on the day we got to Wembley, at Leigh, the price for a day return was £51.00 which I thought was very good.

I have just checked and there are tickets available for £137.20 for 2 adults so £68.60 each.

Still a good deal but that is from Wakefield to Kings Cross.

Booked the Saturday after the Hull Kr game for £100 for both of us.

Then booked the Friday after the Semi for £50 for both.

Think its £215 for both nights if you book now.
