It used to be the most watched game in RL e.g. 82=95,000 used to be the crowd whoever played until the late 80's. Now nobody watches the competition
You are talking of the days when many supporters of clubs other than the the two finalists went to Wembley, but no longer do so because of the cost and rip off of going to London.
The crowds have also gone down since the new Stadium was built which no longer has the same atmosphere of the old Wembley and which is now geared more to Football.
Even the finals held at Cardiff and Edinburgh had more atmosphere than the present Wembley!
