Time to stop having FA Cup Semi-Finals at Wembley. Neither side even close to fulfilling their allocation. Embarrassing stuff all round. Needs to be hosted at neutral grounds where fans from both clubs can travel to with ease and get affordable accommodation

Or just have a draw to choose the home team. The final should be the only neutral game for me

Quite surprised they didn't sell out allocation for Wembley. Massive occasions for Sheff Utd and Brighton also. Pretty sure we sold out v Barnsley. Always felt tho Old Trafford and Villa park is just right for semi finals.

When it's two Northern teams, like it was for Man City v Sheffield United, it's ridiculous to make both sets of fans travel down to London.

In those cases, they could easily play the games at Old Trafford/Anfield/St James' Park (at whichever of those stadiums the team who plays there aren't involved).

Also think it takes away a bit of the moment of qualifying for a Final at Wembley if the semi-finals are there.

Let's be honest, it's all about the FA still finding the money to pay for the building of the new Wembley.
