A sign that Southampton isn't large enough to send 40,000 just to a semi, where they were likely to lose .... and they did.

I saw plenty of empty seats In the Chelsea end.
Southampton as a city given its proximity to London should be able to send 32,509 to Wembley.

Maybe no more. It is being sold to Fulham’s owner.

The FA don't really need to own Wembley to use it i suppose.
2 cup finals. Play off finals. Competitive England games.
No need for friendlies at Wembley.

Wembley is terrible anyway.
I hope not. Imagine if the England team, FA Cup Finals etc got turfed out of the 'Home of (English) Football'...

Surprised no one else thought of it to be honest.
With all the games played there and a half decent stadium sponser, they will recoup there money within 15-20 years

The speed at which the sale may go ahead is frightening.
Just seeing the news saying the £800m deal could be done within 12 weeks. Amazing.

They could still use it? The FA didn't even own the original until 1999

Cup semis should be played at places like Villa or Newcastle. Spread the lurve.
It might give underdogs a better chance too.

Yeah, I meant more maybe in the future the new owners could freeze the FA out. Didn't know that about the original. Who used to own it?

FA only care about money to pay off the ludicrous cost of a dull stadium, seeing as that's how they feel, they should sell it.
I've totally gone off the fa cup since the move to the new Wembley for the semis, it's definitely lost its magic. Letting spurs play there was a disgusting decision. It's supposed to be an elite place where you earn the right via an England cap or getting to a final. Spurs players playing 20+ games there has given them an unfair advantage in a lot of things.

It was well known they were looking to sell for years, companies that had booked boxes on 10 year leases were pi***d off they couldnt get tickets to watch joshua fights and champions league final as they wernt included. Some people actually paid £250,000 a year for a box and had to pay a penalty to get out of the deal, after they found out how **** it was.
Its a rip off anyway even for basic the normal seats, and 5 packs of crisps and 2 bottles of water costing me £17.60. and then you have to wait for them to pour the drink into a cup as you cant take bottles in the ground.
