Yea. Looks like just off the motor way 25 min of train , can save money with train as got company car and got my13 year old nethpew with me

Gone from Watford a few times. Stayed in the Mercure just off the M1

Watfords a good option if we're allocated our usual end as the train stops at Wembley High Street where all our pubs would be

Sounds very posh

It's Hampstead that is posh (and even closer to Wembley).

Have we ever lost an FA Cup semi final?

The semi against United was one of the most magical days watching City I can remember. This might be one rule you choose to change.

That semi vs Utd would easily get in my top ten games of the 40 odd years on being a season-ticket holder! Indeed it was a seminal game, the moment we overtook the Rags as genuinely the best team in the land.

Being a Manc in exile, Wembley is not far short of a home game; in fact, it will be the shortest journey to a match I have this season so I rather like the fact the semi's are at Wembley.

In principle, I am old fashioned and think Wembley should be reserved for the final but which grounds are suitable now to hold a semi? Ours, The Swamp, The Emirates and maybe St James' but the latter is so out out the way. This time round, we will be playing a London club as that is all that's left and Villa park, for instance, is no longer fit for purpose. The Emirates is just smaller than Wembley and in a more inconvenient location in London.

Not since 1932 (Arsenal) apparently. Won eight in a row. Spin that how you want.
