Personally think it takes something away from big Wembley final by having semis there too.

I'd have them @ Millenium Stadium

Any neutral venue. In this case as they aren't in it probably Newcastle or Villa or Millennium Stadium

The scenario where we had Spurs and Arsenal fans all traipsing up the road to Manchester for a semi final was just ridiculous but now there's the West Ham stadium so that opens it up a little. The problem is, people were complaining about lhow many people could get to see the game when they were being held at Villa Park etc etc, personally I thought that was tough shit, nobody complained about that in the early rounds, the thing worked perfectly for like, ever, until money became a serious factor. But I think now the TV money has grown to such a level that it shouldn't be an issue any more. I'd just go back to neutral venues

Meanwhile three years ago the then FA Chairman said about Wembley........

"The FA took a commitment when they built the place that the semi-finals would be here. So that is where it is at the moment unless the contractual situation changes. I can't see that happening."

So we have to suck it up.

Stade de France, we could make a weekend of it.
Plus April in Paris! I love Ella Fitzgerald.
Actually A&C has nailed it, this is exactly the kind of game Wembley would have been chosen for.

TBH, the more games we can have at Wembley the better if that is to be our home for one season. Hopefully there are a number of friendlies planned their before next season too.
