Pros:
More fans get tickets
More clubs get to experience playing at Wembley
More revenue for those involved

Cons:
Takes away magic of playing at Wembley
Takes away magic of playing in a Cup final

So what do you think? Should the semi's be at Wembo or just the final?

Well, i dont like the Semis at Wembley - it takes some of the magic away from the final. However saying that It means we (Everton) can go to Wembley even if we dont get itno the final....which is good.

However overall i disagree with the whole thing. If they want to have it in a non-bias stadium then have the Semis at Cardiff or something.

Should definately be at a neutral ground

However, I wouldnt say it takes away the magic of the final at wembley, especially for teams outside the traditional top 4.

Speaking from experiece, the semis were a good day out, everything about the day of the final was just unbelievable and the greatest experiece a football fan could ever witness

Definatley should be a neutral ground, used to be Villa Park & Old Trafford didn't it? With there being so many Everton fans here, I'm happy for them as seeing your team play at Wembley is an amazing experience.

Void.

Old Trafford/ Villa far more expensive than £10/£15 train and underground ticket.
Depending on where you live obviously.

Tickets are similar in price to what they would be at VP/OT, its the final tickets that destroy ya

With the lower league teams not getting to finals that often, It gives them a chance to play at Wembly. It would be the highlight of many players careers scoring at Wembly and if you play for a Championship side who get to the semis, That can happen.

You also forgot the rest of the Prem who doesn't buy it cant afford to buy success.

Quite glad to see Pompey there last year, as for Tottenham they spend so much so should be expected to get to finals.

i'm not really bothered if the semi's are at wembley

look at it from this season's point of view ... United could of been playing at OT

and for teams like Everton who rarely get this far in the competition ... this would be a great chance for the players for say they have played at Wembley
