    should F A cup semi finals be held at wembley?

    with this weekends semi finalists coming from the north should they be held at wembley. the cup final should be the "road to wembley"
    its all about the F A and money money money.
    should be held elsewhere i think.

      No. It makes a mockery of the occasion.
      He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

          absolute joke IMO.... costs a fortune to go wembley.... if they make the final..... another fortune!! all they want to do is exploit the extortionate prices as many times as possible... not sure as I have never been but a mate went and said they check you on the way in for food and drink concealed then charge you ?20 for chicken and chips / burger and chips etc etc and about ?6 a beer.... imagine a family of 4 including accomodation, travel etc etc....I dread to think!!

                    No doubt ticket prices are a rip off, must worse then the old stadium. Food is expensive but not quite that expensive. Burger and chips is around ?9, beer for ?4 (brand available depends on events apparently).

                    But I found the facilities good, viewing is very good compared to the old stadium and no problems with transport. Dead simple getting there by train and there is a walkway from the station to the stadium.

                          trouble is, since all- seating, most ground are 2 small., only cold twafford,the emirates and sjp are big enough... but cardiff is ideal....

                              simply no should be at the nearest neutral venue it devalues the cup going to wembley for semi's

                              playing at wembley should be an honour every ~~~~ers played their nowadays
