To me, getting to a Cup Final for a small club like ours is the holy grail. A trip to Wembley should be a a once in a blue moon trip which we savour until the next one 30 years later. Going a few weeks before for a semi final takes away from what should be a special occasion.

Before anyone asks.... No, I didn't attend the semi final in 2016 for the above reason.

If you share my feelings, please sign and forward to others.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment & applaud your actions, im afraid that the FA is in so much debt because of Wembley & St Georges Park, this will NEVER happen.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Letting league clubs play there was a greater sin. Whilst I agree that they shouldn't be played there, I loved my trips there for the semi and final.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

The new Wembley stadium isn’t an iconic venue in any way now. It’s just another new stadium so I’m really not bothered now. Sadly cup competitions have been devalued as well.

Any other 60,000 plus stadium would do it but as mentioned, the debt that doubled when building it means the semis stay at Wembley.

Don’t have a semi for Wembley. Ooh missus.
