Semi's at Wembley are freaking awful, its not a special day if you play there more than once a season
Is the correct answer,farcical playing the semi's at wembley.This is when the semis should be played at old Trafford, villa park or The Emirates
The cup final lost it's appeal having semis at wembley especially when there's only 60 ,000 inside wembley
Cheapest tickets £30. Not bad for an FA Cup semi final. If there was a better team involved I'd be tempted to go.
The question is how many would we sell?
30k 35k or 40k what is the max allocation for a semi at wembley anyway?
Wigan are being a bit arrogant, they have been saying they will save their money for the final!.......to be fair they are probably going to the final!
The greedy FA have made their bed's time to face up to the fact clubs like Wigan and Blackburn will never sell out.
I think that is harsh, they just don't have the support to be fair to them. If you can't sell out Premier League home games to ManUtd, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. with the cheapest prices in the league, then it's not arrogance, it's just they don't have the following.
I'd like to see Chelsea v Millwall try making that 12 pm Met Police and close all the pubs.I think the original quote was saying they were being arrogant because they were assuming they will definitely get to the final, i.e. 100% beat Millwall. Personally like Wigan, wouldn't mind seeing them in the FA cup final.
Millwall get around 11k for a home match (i think) yet have sold their allocation of 31k.
Wigan get around 18k for a home match yet have struggled to sell 20k.

I watched the Johstone paint trophy Final on Sunday, Crewe v Southend 44,000I have yet to speak to a single football fan that thinks semi* finals at Wembley are a good thing.
*Semi. Lol.
