FA cup semis at Wembley

Matt the Thrasher · 04-14-2007, 02:25 PM

I heard on the radio last night that the FA are planning to hold all FA cup semi finals at Wembley from next season.

I think this is a very bad idea , it is a desperate attempt to claw back some of the money spent on the stadium , but to me holding the semis at Wembley would devalue the final.

Judging by the fact that Blackburn v Chelsea couldn't even ( nearly) sell out Old Trafford what chance of selling out Wembley for a semi final anyway.

What do you think?

Well they did the same thing last year at the Millenium I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if thats the case then Its not necessarily to do with money

FA cup semis at Wembley takes away for the special traditions of having just the FA Cup Final at wembley but they need to stage them there to pay for new Wembley stadium.
