No privileges but we will have the advantage because we have been playing there all season. Wouldn't be surprised who ever we play in the semi final providing we get there, ask the FA for the tie to be played at a neutral venue.

Wembley Stadium PLC might well reach for their lawyers if the FA tries that.

Of course we shouldn't have home privileges for FA Cup matches. We don't own the place, we're just short term tenants.

At least 180 minutes of football to be played before then and we could easily have had this conversation cancelled already. It’s not that’s it’s disrespectful, although it is. It’s that it’s likely to totally jinx us. Cos that’s a scientific thing that totally happens.

Wembley Stadium is not a plc it is owned by the fa. Which is more of a reason that it wont be at a nuetral venue. Why pay a club to use their stadium when they have their own?

What home privileges? Wouldn’t the seating allocation be split equally between both teams as they have been in previous semi finals. Don’t see the big issue, apart from maybe not having the same changing room as our normal “home games”.

if we get to the semi's even though we won't have any perceived advantages, i think our team is over the wembley humbug now.

So come on you Spurs, this a good chance for a trophy

It's a disadvantage. We can't sing the wem-ber-ley song. Where as Swansea or Wednesday can sing the song from kick off cause they need to win or draw for it to be true. :ROFLMAO:

Anyway let's take things one match at a time.

Doe the stadium get “dressed”for games? When I turn up it has it’s Tottenham colours, posters, flags and what nots. Do they replace them when it’s a non Tot game?

I assume a lot of it will electronic signage that can simply be reprogrammed to suit the event. Don't forget it will host football, NFL and music events amongst other things
