If we get to the semis the playing of this at Wembley is a total disgrace. It is only the FA trying to get money back for this farce of a stadium. Old Trafford, Villa Park,Eastlands Stadium, Anfield and Millenium Stadium have more atmosphere and are more than suitable to hold any semi final. This is the FA trying to make money from corporates rather than the ordinary week in week out supporter. Remember football is not based in London.
UP THE BORO!!!!!!!!!!!

Most true, hard working football fans can see right through the plan to get back as much money for the overspend on Wembley. Keep the Semi Finals at grounds such as Villa Park, Old Trafford, Anfield and St. James' Park. No everyone can afford Wembley. Don't change the history of the F.A. Cup Semi's for your own financial gain.

Hosting the semi's there as well takes away that magic. 90,000 fans are all but certain to attend the final, but I doubt many more than 50,000 fans will attend a semi-final, therefore causing a dead atmosphere in such a big stadium.

Wembley is a remarkable stadium - it should be the prize of reaching the final.

But that was a huge error, and the shortfall, if any, must be made up in some other way.

The experience for many years now is that even stadiums of a 40,000 capacity cannot sell out for FA Cup semi-finals for reasons of cost and time/travel. Life has changed.

So to unnecessarily risk a showcase 90,000 stadium being half-empty is just plain nuts.
