Comment: For 17 July (date of the final)

looks good to me. Expansion checks out, QPQ is fine, article isn't in bad condition at all. The hook is verifiable and interesting but I'm not super keen on "a 50% capacity", maybe half-full? So ... "at a half-full Wembley Stadium?" The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:17, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Fine with me. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ok, I added "Stadium" per my suggestion, but this is good to go for me. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:35, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The C of E The number of fans has been confirmed at 45k/half capacity now: [1], [2]. Would it make more sense for the hook to now say something along the lines of "... that the 2021 Challenge Cup Final between Castleford and St Helens today will be played at a half-full Wembley Stadium?" (or possibly "is being played", depending on tenses and timings) Joseph2302 (talk) 11:10, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
