    Default FA Cup Semi-Final...

    I still don't understand why it's been played at Wembley, it kind of seems pointless.

    The Final and only the final should be played at Wembley.

    The way i see it get to the Semi-final with the hype of a Wembley game and lose, how gutted can you be even more so cos you got to taste Wembley but lost out, suppose its same as losing in final.

    however what if you win in the Semi-Final, its absolutely amazing but been at Wembley you kind of feel what was the whole effort for, another game at Wembley a few weeks later, and then imagine losing that.

    or is it just me, but i just can't understand why the Semi's are at Wembley should be Old Trafford or Emirates and save Wembley for the special occasion for a special day and special final

    Everyone wants club grounds for semi finals but FA just want fans cash. End of story.

    I'm not bothered because we will be buzzing if we get to make the trip for a semi.

    yep

    1. The FA is based at Wembley

    2. It's a Corporate Cash Cow

    3. They get to re sell their Club Wembley tickets at stupid prices

    4. it's £4.50 for a Carlsberg

    5. profit central

    6. They don't give a fuck about you or me- they just want your money

    the thing I hate most about the semis at Wembley is that if we were to get through to the semi, then win that game and progress to the final, I can definitely only afford to go to one of those games.

    horrible missing a final because I chose the semi, or missing the semi and getting knocked and not getting any trip to wembley.

    I'm sure loads of supporters are in the same situation.
