Just think it takes the edge and gloss off the final. We’ve got some wonderful stadia around the country that could easily cope with demand. Thoughts? |  |

Non Wembley semis for me too........ Olympic stadium and maybe Chelsea once their place gets sorted out in the future if Arsenal and Spurs ended up drawing each other.
I doubt Hillsborough would ever be considered again.
Totally left field one ....... Twickers ? [Post edited 7 Apr 2019 22:14]

I forgot about Olympic Stadium, but yes, definitely that could be a venue. |  | | |

I daresay if you take out the fairly big number of corporate/club member seats at Wembley, then the share per club would (at a guess) be around 35,000 each. Old Trafford holds 72,000+, so would easily cope with 35,000 per club.
The Emirates and the new Spurs ground each hold 60,000+ - again plenty for a semi-final. |
You've got the London Stadium and the Millennium Stadium again also
Even Anfield, St James' Park or the Etihad could hold them also? |  |

No, neutral venues for the semis was always a good idea.
But then Wembley should only have been used for football and never used by a club side.
Finances determine football and have ruined the magic the FA Cup once had. I wonder if lower league sides still see it as having some magic but certainly Premier League and Championship sides no longer seem to have any. Perhaps Watford fans do this year but it is few and far between that do. |  |

No. I went to the Man City Vs Brighton semi and there were lots of empty seats. Corporates were half empty and Brighton couldn't sell their allocation. |  |

They always took the most sensible neutral venue available if I recall. There are plenty of decent grounds around the country so there should always be an option. | |
