It’ll happen one day but a cup final v the rags will be an absolute nightmare.
The novelty wore off for me when we began to dominate the League Cup. Attending became an expensive chore.
I got over it but the Wigan FA Cup loss haunted me. To the day, I’ve never seen the highlights.
Great post pal, my thoughts are exactly the same.I'm sure most of us agree that having FA cup semi finals there is a joke, but we're stuck with it, and it's no fault of the club.
How demoralising it must be for our great team to come out at wembley only to see our end half full and our opponents end jam packed.
I know we've been there more times than anyone in the last 12 years which means some of our fans have become a bit spoilt. These good times won't last forever so we should make the most of every visit. I don't like lining the FA pockets either, but supporting City outweighs it.
It won't happen but with the higher capacity of several stadia, new and existing, being increased in recent years plus the current and future expansion of those such as Anfield and potentially Villa Park would make a semi-final on a league ground an incredible occasion. City would have no problem selling 30000 anywhere in England north of Wembley and might still do it at Arsenal or SpursDoes that include SEMI-FINALS?
You have a point about finals.
But semi-finals! The FA are taking the piss and have done ever since they moved the semi-finals to Wembley to rinse the fans even more. I won’t mention the Community Shield.
Wether you like it or not, call me what you want, I won’t give the FA my money for semi-finals at Wembley. They’re just ripping me and other City fans off. There’s nothing wrong with Old Trafford, a 60,000+ Anfield next season, or good old Villa Park for a semi-final.
A final v the rags should be brilliant...a win would be another record after the semi win.No point there wasn't any.
It’s actually amazing that this hasn’t happened already over the last 10 years. I predict this is the year, and beating them in an FA Cup final would be a beautifully historic moment.A final v the rags should be brilliant...a win would be another record after the semi win.
It'll happen,bring it on !!

The new Wembley might not have the nostalgia of the old Wembley, but the old Wembley was old and the facilities were outdated, the new Wembley is good I don't see a huge problem as stadia go, yes its a rip off agree, but when we talk about the surrounding area its not good, but other Towns and Cities are no different, I don't know what any of this has got to do with going, If City get to a semi-final everyone should want to go, last seasons semi-final was poorly supported, we couldn't sell our tickets, and it affected our support that day, the lads who went hats off, but those who didn't, because of this that and the other ?????????????.
You don't have to get ripped off if you are careful, and watch where you drink and eat, and travel buy coach with local supporters clubs etc. Again this is about Desire, going to wembley means we are successful, I want to go as many times as possible, being proud to wear my colours with lots of other blues, and shout like fuck and hope we win, Wembley Desire, am in.
