    If money had to be spent to ensure that the regions had
    their own big stadium, rather than Wembley or nothing, so be it..


    "There are two other big quesitons:

    (1) Why the semi-finals have to be at Wembley at all?"

    Prior to the rebuild, they didn't.

    The exception in modern times was the 1991 NLD SF.
    The supporters for both clubs would be travelling together
    on trains, to go to a geo neutral venue.

    The policing concerns made Wembley the better option.
    The money the FA would make from a full house game
    no doubt helped a little bit too.

    I think that the obvious solution is to play it at a ground that's roughly halfway between the teams.

    Beautiful Wigan. <ok> (Possibly the first time that those words have been used together.)

    Well, they get the gig for everything else when there’s nowhere suitable. And one club’s owners might have some influence?
    It would keep the Scousers away too.

    Ben Watson has received a six-month driving ban for timewasting speeding.

    They're putting on 100 free coaches, apparently.

    The remaining 84,000 fans will just have to walk I suppose.

    Or stay at home and watch it on TV.
    Then the F.A might get the message.

    Liverpool and City fans watching on TV is the norm, though. <whistle>

    Sadly, my offer to buy Chelsea has been rejected

    Was it because I offered to buy the club for a tenner, or was it because I said the club's policy would be accepting any bids from Tottenham for their players to see just how quickly I can create a local derby with Fulham in the Championship?

    Lovely gesture from the Wolves players. Good luck to the poor kid.

    Does that mean they can nick a celebration from The Sheikh Mansour Team's fans now?

    Somehow this hasn't been added to the club's Wikipedia page

    Yet...

    I know we are no saints when it comes to pricing, but this is shocking if real. It’s a pre-season friendly!
