I hate that it's now become normal for all the losing supporters to leave immediately or before the end. But I suppose that's the complacency of when you're a club like Chelsea and you're in one of these ever other year. You've reached the cup final. Clap your team off.
Sartorial standards. It used to be a special day and people dressed for it. Now everyone looks sloppy!
New Wembley. That huge corporate hospitality section behind the teams dugouts. Everyone clears off for half time to chow down and don't reappear until 55 minutes.
Emirates air stewards at the bottom of the walk up. Money ruins everything!
Corporate entertainment atmosphere. No home made banners. Club issued flags.
What started in 1999 is finally finished. They've destroyed the competition.

Who in their right mind wants this.
It's simply solved
Ban VAR
Give the FA Cup winners a champions League place. Bring back replays and all money in ties goes to lower league club.
No digital screens in grounds
PL pays 50% money to rest of league
Stop at all costs sports entertainment | | | |

Empty seats.
There shouldn't be any empty seats for one of the best competitions in our national sport. |  |

Man City fans will forget they won by tomorrow morning
Chelsea fans will forgot they lost
There's no narrative to this competition anymore. Gone are those moments we remember for years to come. The Jim Montgomery saves, the Brooking headers, the Ricky Villa wonder goals, etc etc. Not sure I even remember who have been in the last five finals. [Post edited 16 May 17:53]

I think the last final I properly remember is the one Wigan won. For the obvious reason! |  | | |

I loved it when FA Cup final day was celebrated by the bbc like it was indeed THE cup final of english football. Programme on all day, highlights of previous rounds, interviews, the works.
The removal of replays was disgusting, semi finals at wembley disgraceful |  |

It used to be a whole morning of buildup didn’t it. It felt special whereas now it’s just another fixture in the crowded fixture schedule. |  |

Certainly remember Palace doing Man City last season,that was joyful. It's still there but butchering the format and replays was an abysmal decision led by wealthy clubs with no respect. |  | | |

It was the talk of the week.... there was cup final question of sport , songs on top of the pops, cup final its a knockout and all week presenters would ask their guest who'd win the cup... itv and bbc used to vye for audience share.. cup final pullouts in the papers. It was a huge event, and the country shut down for the game.. everyone watched it, even my Nan! |  | | |

Yep, My nan told me many years ago on tele they used to do some form of FA Cup wrestling too as part of the run up to the game.
I felt bad earlier, asked my Son what prem football was on today and he said none as fa cup day, I was actually annoyed that it was fa cup final stopping other games being on. Never used to feel like that. | |

Because the FA Cup Final was always the final game of the season. It was the conclusion. The crescendo. It’s now just another game.
The ship’s sailed on most of the changes in the game - anyone thinking otherwise is playing King Canute. Trying to make the FA Cup special again is maybe one thing that could be rolled back - making it the season climax maybe a step towards that. | | | |

Season climax and Champions League qualification out of it might add some interest once again. UEFA extending their competitions to pollute even more of the year doesn't help, though. | |
