Do two leg semi finals -but don't use Wembley - The value of the FA Cup is being eroded enough with Premier Clubs ( and to some degree, Championship sides ), fielding weakened teams. Most loyal fans can claim priority tickets for home legs - and there's enough TV coverage for the 'plastic' fans - keep Wembley 'sacred' and only for the final.
Yes. Back to how it used to be, one game at a neutral venue. Just imagine the teams in the League Cup semis having to travel to Wembley on consecutive days when Old Trafford can hold 75,000 and the Etihad about 54,000. The M6 is bad enough without that level of extra traffic. Mind you it's not only the FA cup. I went to Wembley to watch Rochdale against Stockport in a L2 play off final. Anyhow it's all semantics, nothing's going to change. The FA need to pay the mortgage on Wembley so they're signed up to play such matches there till the middle of the next century or something like.
Agree with the above, i believe Wembley should be kept sacred for Finals. Again another aspect of football eroded.
Should be neutral venue, changed yearly either in London, Midlands or the North like it use to be & decided to best suit the fans of the teams playing (crazy I know, the FA thinking about the fans!!!). For example Arsenal vs Man City could be Villa Park or Chelsea vs Man Utd keep it in London
Yeah I think we should go back to the semi finals being played at neutral grounds like Villa Park and Old Trafford.I feel playing Semi's at Wembley takes the magic away of reaching the final.
If the semi finals involved the so called 'top 4' in the Premiership, we could play them on a different continent - from where their fan base is derived - I don't expect many true Man Utd supporter knows the way to Salford.
Yes they should just have the final at Wembley - as usual it's all about money - the FA need the games there to help pay for the cost of building it
