Not that it will trouble us this season, but what are your thoughts on playing FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley?
I know the FA do this as it is a cash-cow, but given the draw, it is basically a local derby for Watford v Palace and assuming WHU beat ManU, there is only one teams supporters who will have any travelling to do. If Everton's game is on a Sunday afternoon it will be a nightmare for them to get home.
Would anyone here be "made-up" to have an away-day at Wembley if Derby had made the semis?

Further to my last post, I would be MORE delighted to get automatic promotion and don't give a toss about a trophy for the play-off winners.
Last time I went to Wembley was in 1993 - when I went 4 times. v Sheff Utd in the Semi final (the FA wanted to send us to Elland Road - but we dug our heels in and insisted on a bigger venue ) also the League Cup final, FA Cup Final and Replay.
That was the old Wembley, of course.
I wish the national stadium was in the middle of the country.

It is if you are part of the establishment and, therefore, live in London!

Iwas, it would be nice, but only if Kane (or Vardy) gets the shirt formerly worn by the crock who is Rooney!
I notice the press are "bigging him up" as fit again as the internationals games approach, FFS. He's a liability, I don't care how many goals he's scored before.
I hope Lingaard doesn't get a sniff either.
