FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

There's a 10pm train to Leeds from Kings Cross that gets in at 20 past midnight and a 2.35am train to Manchester Piccadilly as an option. Whether there is anything to do for 2hrs in Leeds at that time is another matter but has to be better than Wolverhampton!

I think that's the first time I've ever read Leeds is a better option than anywhere.

Trains are a no go return times will be impossible, same for the final, if we are lucky enough to be there.

It only becomes difficult if there's extra time and pens, otherwise it should be a piece of piss. Even if it goes to ET and pens, they'll almost certainly put relief trains on - as staffs blue will testify - leaving after 9pm as they won't want thousands of City fans stranded in London, so it shouldn't be as much of an issue as you think. Now if you end up dawdling like mad and only dropping back in Euston at, say, 10pm then you will have an issue as I'm guessing the relief trains will have long since left.

It's not the end of the world, but you can see it!

and if there is extra time, penalties and a presentation you are not leaving Wembley until 20.30hrs. There is no way you will make that 21.00 train. This countrys transport system is a joke and the law that forces 5.30 kick offs isn't much better. Oh and don't get me started on TV companies.

Tube back to Euston Square is only about an 18 minute journey but you have to factor in a few minutes to leg it to Euston plus getting out of the stadium and getting down Wembley Way and therefore you need a minimum of 45 minutes after the game and that is pushing it especially if you get stopped on Wembley Way. And this is why all northern clubs should be in the ear of the FA every year to sort out better kick off times. Not that the FA give a flying f*** about the fans

Your problem there is that City are the only club from that part of the UK that regularly make cup finals and have a UK fanbase concentrated in that part of the country.

That's assuming you can get on one of first few tubes though, can easily take an hour plus. The transport links for Wembley given its location are nearly as shite as ours.
