FA Youth Cup 2014/15 Thread

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.thefa.com/news/competitions/fa-youth-cup/2015/jan/sixth-round-semi-final-draw-260115" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thefa.com/news/competitions/ ... raw-260115</a>

The draw for the entire last 3 rounds of the FA Youth Cup draw was made in one go.
It is possible that City could face the rags again in the final - just as happened in 1986, when City lifted the cup for the first time.
I may be getting ahead of myself, but would love to get them (and beat them) in the final again :)

It'd be a good advert for our new facilities if we could lift this cup.

If the rags managed to make the final giving them a hammering would be a bonus although I'd rather some did them before the final.

DO regulations about having to play the matches at the main stadium kick in for semi and final matches? If they do City should try to blow them out of the rule book and insist on playing at the Mini ETHIAD. That's of course - IF they get that far! Here's hoping, but not taking anything for granted.

According to Fatuous Hayward of the DT our team is unworthy of the facilities. Be much more in keeping with City teams to have the final, if we make it!!!!, at Hough End.

Considering the attendance was nearly 20,000 when we played Chelsea in the 2008 Final, playing the Final at the Minihad would not be a very bright idea.

Agreed. Forgot about how many attended. Who won from Arsenal and Crew and has a date been set?

Looks like United are out as Spurs lead 3-1.
