not me, absolutely brilliant day out, although bloody expensive, personally think having the semi finals there is a good thing, enables more people to get tickets, and gives the day a sense of occasion.

if we get through again will the semi finals get the same interest or are people getting bored.
 
I won't be going but not because I'm bored, it's because I'm skint. If we get to the final I'll find the money for that but not the semi.

Also I think I'll try a different boozer next time as it is getting a little old.
 
Not bored of Wembley, but we arrive at the Green Man about five or six hours before kick off, except this time, and I must admit, does get a bit tedious.

Went for a walk around the stadium and to other pubs was much more interesting.... And I didn't turn up at the ground pissed!

Is expensive though!
 
Not bored whatsoever but I do begrudge the FA Cup semi-finals being played down there. I also think the traffic management afterwards is nothing short of a disgrace. It took us almost 7 hours to get back home from last year's semi against Chelsea so we prefer to do it by train now.

The overall cost of a day out at Wembley isn't too bad, providing you're prepared to make a few sacrifices in terms of seat location and keeping your spend inside the ground down to a minimum. I paid £40 for a match ticket, £40 for a train ticket, and spent about another £60-£70 (mainly on falling over water) before, during, and after the match. That included about a gallon or so of alcohol consumed afterwards in the rather affluent Marylebone area of town. Compare that to Norwich away the other week and it was £50 for a match ticket and £45 for the train plus about £50-£60 on beer and food so a similar outlay for a far less important fixture.
 
Not at all, just worried about my bank balance!

Want to go to the semi if we get there, but wondering if I can afford that and the potential final after the most expensive season ever.
