Cup semi's at wembley is it ..

[stennymuir]

right or wrong?If you are a fan of one of this weekend's 4 teams i reckon you would answer right.But surely it devalues the Final itself.I know why the FA are doing it,to pay for the cost of building the staduim.But the magic of the cup is Semi's on a nuetral ground then if you win you get to Wembley.We have enough big ground's in England to cope for with any possible Semi-final.
Not that it will ever be a issue for us though

I dont think you argue over 160,000 fans,plus the new Wembley has got to payed for somehow.

I agree with you, the Cup Final won't feel as special for either two of the teams now I don't think as they will have already been to Wembley a few weeks previous.

i agrre that it isnt right, it devalues the whole idea of teams wanting to get to wembley, kind of an anticlimax if its only for the semi finals

[Olgrligm]

Really ruins it.

[stokeboy44]

I agree it is wrong, although the fans lower league teams for whom it is very unlikely will ever reach the final, any day out at Wembley will be a special day for them whatever the circumstances are

[Orbs]

ruined for me too - the magic of the final has gone now.

I'd still go twice though (maybe next year eh?!)

[trend.......]

Next year the Quarter Finals will be held there as well.

[stennymuir]

Could be right there trend,
When they start playing 3rd round games there we should get a visit.Imagine losing to Telford or Nuneaton at Wembley in the 3rd round.

It gives small teams like Barnsley and Brazil the chance of a big day so it can only be a good thing.

[R.I.P Fullers Nan]

Ruins it. When watching West Brom v Portsmouth, i thought it was the final.

The football West Brazil played I bet you thought it was the World Cup Final
