Home Park might be inconvenient enough. Perhaps Selhurst.

Any truth in the rumour it’s going to be played in Oslo?

Give it a few years and it will be in America or China

Give it a few years and they’ll be league games being played in the States

FA will most likely pick Southampton

Or Singapore

They aren't going to hold it there, needs to be equidistant between the bulk of each teams support.

Edinburgh's a possibility.

Leicester is a shit choice for a venue.

I can imagine the FA thinking they’re doing the fans a massive favour having it in the “North” after the hullabaloo of the semi final.

Fact is, it’s a very similar journey time to London as it is to Leicester by train. But a fraction of the number of services. And much more potential for fans of both teams to be trying to cram on the same few trains they’ll be on a Sunday.

I’ve no idea which grounds are available and which aren’t on that date but surely Goodison and Old Trafford would be the logical places to consider first? Plenty of other grounds in the North West with similar capacities to Leicester if not.
