    Change in the format for the FA Cup?

    Just read the following from The Guardian on Monday, and they seem to be suggestion a change to the semi-final format for the Cup.
    What have I missed?

    So, after the last of the traditional FA Cup semi-finals held on neutral club grounds, the big battalions march on to the first final at the new Wembley, despite having been watched, over the two days, by an aggregate crowd of just under 88,000, meaning that there were around 10,000 empty seats at Villa Park and 25,000 at Old Trafford. But this is now a fixture that will look even better in the history books, given the way Chelsea have mounted such a spectacular challenge to Manchester United's recent dominance and the way United have responded.

      Don't like that at all. Should be one in Cardiff and one in a neutral club ground. Wembley should only be for the final.

          ...the FA have to find all the ways they can to recap the vast outlay on the stadium.

                    It's been done before. At least it wasn't as bad as traipsing to Cardiff for a semi

                      ALL football fans - from ALL teams should boycott the semi finals of the FA Cup next year in protest.
                      I for one will never go to Wembley for a semi-final.

                        Perhaps Tottenham will use it for their Champion's League games instead.
