Are the semis in Cardiff this year?

[Gravy]

[Gomez]

Glad you asked, I've been looking through the forum assuming someone would have done, and couldn't find out.

 

I think I heard they were, but not 100% with all the Wembley / Cardiff stuff. I don't think they were ever going to be at Wembley.

[forde]

Yep for some silly reason they are def in Cardiff!

I think they are in Cardiff yes.

 

Ridiculous if you ask me!

[Gray - YPC]

f*** that off.

 

I can't be arsed with that!

Where they always going to be in Cardiff?

[RP]

I can't find confirmation anywhere.

 

On the BBC site they name the dates (w/end of April 22nd) but don't mention the venue, but on the same page they do name Cardiff as the Final venue. That would suggest the Semis will be played at neutral grounds, wouldn't it??

[Cobs]

dont think they are in Cardiff - nothing on the FA website suggesting it

For the life of me, I still can't figure out why they're played at Cardiff now anyway. Villa Park used to be fine.

Cardiff 22 & 23 April

[Sara]

It doesn't say where on the FA site either. Just the dates and that we are Number 4 in the bag.

[forde]

They were going to be played at the new wemblyand from next season they all wil be. So for the last year so they say it will be Cardiff.

[Stevie H]

if we were to draw newcastle or boro, that would make cardiff even sillier as a venue.

[Benitez]

daft it is.

 

And say Newcastle and Boro go through.....

 

 

OK, say Boro go through and we get them in the semi final, it's just crazy really.

[Sara]

I think it was Newcastle and the Mancs last year had to travel down. It's not as if it's an easy place to get in and out of either!

[RP]

And if West Ham draw Charlton or Chelsea, Cardiff would be ridiculous.

 

Cardiff it is then.

[Hightown Phil]

Nah, they've changed it after the FSF lobbied the FA.

[Gravy]

A hard one to imagine I know, but what if Boro drew Newcastle.

[Sara]

I have just telephoned the FA and was told "The venues have yet to be confirmed. It definitely won't be Cardiff, it will be neutral grounds.

 

 

That's that solved then.

hurrah!

 

Villa Park or one of the Mancy teams grounds maybe, obviously depending on who we draw.

Thank god for that change of mind. Still do not trust the FA would put money on them having another rethink and saying Cardiff it is!

Why, who plays at the Millenium stadium

[Sara]

[Jeff guitar]

We do.........silly!

I hope to feck we are on the Saturday. I have a Christening to go to on the Sunday. Then again the its early enough on the Sunday for me to attend and do one straight after the service......so long as we play at Old Toilet or The Big Council House. Villa Park might be too far away to make.
