So we're now four days in since the draw was made and still don't know what's happening. Hard to believe how the very well paid powers that be known as the fa can't sort out the time and place of TWO matches. Should be all sacked for being so Inept.

I've said it year after year when they put semi and finals at stupid times where there is either a rush or no chance of getting the last train if it goes to extra time and penalties.
Have a look at one of the main fa partners
National express. Says it all for me

didnt it all start with fkin tott and arse around 1993 ?
when they got drawn against each other in a fa cup semi
they wanted the max ammount of tickets
and wembley got given to them.
and everyone else nationwide as been paying the
price since.

Semi-finals shouldn't be at Wembley IMO, it takes away the specialness of the actual final and it is a ball ache for the fans who aren't from London.

It started when the new Wembley was built and the FA needed a funding model.

Two semi finals makes them a load of money. That's literally the only reason it's done. I don't think a single football fan or club actually wants it.

INO not IMO - as in In No-one's Opinion. What's their current slogan, "For All"?

I know what you mean. And I think the same
But go back to 2011 and how many people would have missed the demise of the Rags if that game was played at villa Park

I remember it well. But that's not the reason they are now held there every year. The reason they are held there every year is for the FA to make money. It's irrelevant that Arsenal and Spurs played there back in a different era.
