Wonder if the FA want a London final as it would be easier to sell tickets or do they want a Manchester v London final. As there are three London clubs easier they might think they don't have to fiddle the draw. The assumption I have made is that the final is in London.
This though sums up the FA's attitude to women's football:
The semi-finals are scheduled for 29-30 January, with a date for the draw to be confirmed.
This year's final will be held at an as yet unspecified neutral venue on Saturday, 29 February, subject to broadcast schedules.
No date for the draw, no venue for the final yet, what a joke.

I thought it was fairly obvious we were in it, this post being on this thread, it was to discuss the options available.

Its not always in London (Sheffield last year iirc), they haven't announced the venue yet, so maybe waiting to see who is in the final.

Didn’t they do the draw and arranged the match giving us just 48 hours notice of an away fixture a few years back. As you say it’s a complete joke. No date for the draw and no venues. We usually find when we play a London team the FA select Wycombe as the neutral venue FFS.

This does sum up the FA’s attitude.
City already playing away at Rags women on Sunday 26th at 1pm in the FA Cup and bound to be drawn to play on 29th when the men are playing Carabao Cup semi.
If they want the game to grow that can’t keep putting big games on at the same times as the men’s

Wait and see. A few noises being made about the need to keep the Dippers in the league. Bristol City will get sacrificed.

Good post.

is it too much to ask of Manchester City FC that they put more effort (In fact some effort) into promoting the women’s team. For Wednesday night’s match I could have hoped that somewhere they could have related live scores as the game progressed. As it where I had to rely on colleagues on Bluemoon to update me. So - No live tv, no live commentary, and now no video. We can have short videos of training sessions or comments about certain players but no real effort from City to promote one of it’s senior teams.i did try to look at YouTube, Twitter and Facebook but. I don’t really engage with social media so I may have missed an opportunity. I did try City Tv but as I have a Panasonic smart tv it would not couple with the App (yet another badly thought out and badly managed scheme)

I have come to the conclusion that City are just playing at supporting the Women’s team. There is a chance that with a new experienced manager a new era might commence. City have to put their money where their mouth (and posters at the Etihad) are.
 
City's women away at Birmingham today ,live on thecFA player, just kicked off now
Already 1 nil City
