FA Cup SF Draw | Sheffield United | Sat 22 Apr 16:45

[Eds]

There was only one fact in that whole spiel, stop the moaning gramps it’s not all about you

We’ll know KO time this week, everyone knows it’s on the Saturday

Train times are irrelevant, mega bus is £20, M1 open all night

Very few real blues want the game at OT ….. only those obsessed with being home early for their horlicks

Lol, shut your door on your way out.

Don't think this forum is for you. How long it takes to get home is a major theme running through a lot the threads

Megabus to Wembley. That would be grim.

 

[Axel Freed]

There’s absolutely nothing special about Wembley

I’m sure you’d agree it’s more special than OT though

Megabus to Wembley. That would be grim.

Not as grim as missing the game

I'm not sure we even need neutral venues for semi-finals in this day and age. If you're drawn home or away then that should be that. You get no prizes or medals for winning/losing a semi-final.

I realise you are a WUM but let me explain a few facts.

1. The semi finals may have been at Wembley for a number of years but nobody ever knows what time they kick off and on most occasions which day
2. We were told many years ago that semi finals would be played at Wembley to recoup the money spent on the rebuild, which incidentally should never have been in London but that's a different argument. However the assumption was that these games would revert to a neutral stadium nearer where both clubs are based.
3. Many people have young children who they would like to take to a game, hard to plan if this is feasible if they can't book cheap travel, hotels etc
4. The last train back to Manchester is 21.01. The later the kick off the less chance of being able to travel that way for the many people who prefer that mode of transport
5. To announce the kick off times for two games shouldn't take eight days and it's taking the piss
6. There is nothing special about Wembley for most people
7. Whether we like the place or not this game should be held at the swamp and if the FA remove all their hangers on then most, if not all of the real fans,who want a ticket will get one

Point6: it ain't special anymore cos were there every season, try telling that to Sheffield United fans, I'm sure they'll make the day special.

I just point out hypocrisy and disingenuousness when I see it. A handful of perpetually outraged anti Wembley anti change people on a forum are not representative of the whole fan base.

The proof of the pudding’s in the eating ….. we sell circa 33000 tickets for every semi

It's not all about you either so bore off.
