all those FA Cup SF's we have hosted too , its a special place for lots of other fans
Yes, but we would never host another one if they were to be taken away from Wembley, because so many other grounds are now bigger and better.
So what it's  not just about that , geographically we often make sense

It is absolutely nothing about geographical location anymore though.

They don’t give a shit about dragging fans all over the country any more.
No, nor kick off times when you can't get a train home etc.
But back when we hosted them (we went to a few as a few hundred seats always went to Villa ST holders) geography was a factor e.g. Arsenal v Man U was perfect for B6 or West Ham v Everton

Yeah but you were talking specifically about location being part of it now - it isn't any more. It was, it is now not, and hasn't been for ages.

Semi finals are at Wembley now as it's all about maximising profits and fuck the fans

Doesn't/Didn't the Villa Chippy have rodent issues? i.e they were seen scarpering OUT of the place because they turned their noses up at the scran.

Scarpering out of the place and in the direction of Villa Park because they're heard about what is happening on the pitch.

I heard it was because the scran is so much better at the Lower Grounds.

I was talking about the past not where we are now though so you agreed with my point. Historically we've been a great venue . We now appear a good venue for concerts geographically
