Two days after the draw and the FA still haven't announced the semi-final dates, or when City will play Cardiff (was on that Saturday). City play Spurs in CL on the Tuesday after but it's rumoured that TV want the City-Brighton game on the Sunday! Oh - and the Brighton line is closed for engineering all weekend....

Didn't Wembley get planning consent only with a travel plan to encourage public transport? 5.30 kick off plus extra time and penalties would not give much time to get the 2100 last train back to Manchester from Euston....

Plenty time to get to Euston for the 2100 to Manchester. the game will be done in 90 with City wining by 2 Goals IMHO (For what its Worth)
 
Rangers and Celtic were sent to Inverness and Ross County for 1215 Sunday games for years, with not even a suitable train to get there in time, nevermind a rushed one!
Inverness had a cup semi in Edin kicking off before the trains from Inverness arrived into Edin, and Dundee Utd had to go to Stranrear for a 1230 Sunday, again, not possible if leaving using public transport at all!!

full house, empty house, half full, the cameras will be there and for them, that's all that matters... think about it, the fans that cant go? Stuff them, they can watch it on TV too, thus boosting audiences...


as per, the ££££ is all that matters
