It's interesting how they talk about the last train back to Manchester. 50,000 on the last train back. And they can't possibly change the schedule.
They could put more trains and coaches on but how would they manage. It might not be cost efficient. But don't worry, the market will protect us.

Didnt they both play their semi at Wembley the same year we got to the final in 2011, cant recall trouble that day, there must have been others since as well I dont see what the big deal is, lots of clubs travel down together without much going off, good policing should solve this I was talking to a local in the pub on the day of our game, he said the Mancs were kicking off against each other all along Wembley way.

You can guarantee that either Network Rail will have Euston closed for engineering works or the last train home with Avanti will be around 7pm Its the new FA Cup tradition I hope that Mick Lynch calls the Boys out that weekend!

Back in the day cup final Saturday was a whole day spectacle. Coverage starting around 9am with interviews and coverage of previous rounds and cup finals. Spotlight on all the players and managers and more. Then 2pm build up to the game and excitement as 3pm approached. After the game it was down Wolstanton Marsh to re-enact the game for couple of hours.

Great decision 3:00 pm KO and the last game of the season. Hopefully a Military band, abide with me and King Charlie meeting the teams.
That’s how it used to be and how it should be. Long may it continue.

Think they played the day after us. And think there was some trouble around wembley area, it certainly wasn't the relaxed environment of people enjoying the day like on our semi final day. They played the Saturday, we were the Sunday game. I was at a Wedding on the Saturday and the best man was a Man City fan, he wasn’t overly enthused about being there. It’s also probably the only wedding I’ve been to in the last 20 years where I’ve not drank. And the London marathon was also on the Sunday

Ask & thy shall receive The first day of strike action on 12 May is the day before the Eurovision Song Contest final in Liverpool. On 3 June, thousands of football fans are set to travel to Wembley Stadium in London as Manchester United take on their rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Drivers at Avanti West Coast, which is the main direct train service from Manchester to London, are set to strike that day, meaning most fans will have to travel by road.

Again the need to play Northerly derbies in London will be called into question. Nice twist of the knife by the train unions though.

I'm a Club Wembley member & I will be going to the Cup Final. Part of the Club Wembley package is that they charter a train from Birmingham. I wonder if a charter hire will be effected too

They should just play it in Manchester. First half at OT, second half at the Etihad. Sorted.

Sorted. i said similar but have it say at villa park that has good capacity and is easier for the fans to get too, lets make the FA prove this game is for the fans and not the sponsors, lets face it they will only get an allocation of 20k each at wembley

The fans should be uneasy about being policed by this group of flashers, rapists and thugs! You missed out murderers and racists as well.
