That will get 60 thousand Mancs and Scousers to Wembley - NOT.

I can't believe this needs to be said but it's not supposed to get 60,000 people to Wembley.

It's supposed to replace the trains effected by the maintainance works.

An 11 carriage Avanti train carries 500 people. The buses are going to move 5,000 people. So 10 full trains. Lime Street to Euston is hourly, so fans would probably be on the 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 oclock trains, any later than that and you're not making kick-off. Piccadilly to Euston is more common but 5 full trains worth of people from the FA plus the 2400 fans the club have organised transport for should get most down there.

They aren't supposed to be replacing travel for every fan who would driven, gotten a train from elsewhere in the country, gotten a bus which would have run anyway.

If you are in cup scheme will you automatically get tickets? And will they be posted out from City??

No. You'll have to apply but will be up the priority list

Get your point but the roads will be carnage. Wembley coach parks are already full so presumably they'll be dropping off somewhere

100 busses along 200 miles of M40 and M1 isn't going to make a difference to the overall levels of traffic. You might have a bit of an ordeal crawling through local traffic at the stadium but you don't need to get from Euston to Wembley so you save half an hour there compared to getting the train.

It's not perfect but it should work.

Great kick off time day trip all round, no stupid start no stupid late finish.

Moaners stay at home, people who want a day out get your backsides to WEMBLEY

FA Cup: Liverpool's Jordan Henderson thinks Man City semi-final should have been switched from Wembley

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson says it would "would make sense" to have switched the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City from Wembley.

Hope they realise the damage Dipper cultists tend to due to buses/coaches

The players always travel to Wembley by train

Scousers have anger issues against buses.

Scouses have anger issues full stop (says me I know!)
