Wembley debate

[UK Redsox]

This isn't really a debate. Football fans don't want the Semi-Finals to be played at Wembley and the FA; who have no interest in football and only care about making money, do.

If you were a fan of a semi-final team and playing the game at Wembley meant you could get a ticket, whereas playing at Villa Park meant that you would not, would you still feel the same ?

Take that a step further and any sell-out in the earlier rounds should be moved there.

Surely the magic of the cup and particularly the semi's is that there is a bit of a scramble for tickets and the loyal fans are rewarded. I'm not overly keen on "fans" who pitch up once a decade when theres a whiff of a trophy

The M1 is closed for the weekend (at least), that's going to make the trip down a fecking nightmare this weekend.

Well that's OK then, they can just nip through the centre of Harrow.

[WikiVilla]

plenty of ways around that issue

[Villa'Zawg]

Yes there are and they'll all be clogged up with traffic that would otherwise have been travelling between j4 and j1 of the M1.

[WikiVilla]

Why ? Most ManUre fans will either be travelling up the M3 or along the M4

[cheltenhamlion]

Anyone who thinks cup semi finals should be played at Wembley, should be burnt at the stake as a fucking heretic.

Or else travelling to somewhere like Leeds.

I agree.

Wembleys a shithole

On behalf of Wembley, f*** you.
You're right, though.

[London Villan]

If the FA have to make a decision then you know it will be the wrong one.

Semi Finals...

Old Trafford
Millennium Stadium
Emirates
Villa Park (ok biased)
Even Twickenham

Anywhere but Wembley.

The FA haven't got a clue about football supporters.
