Wasn't really sure where to post this but as it's "our" cup, here is as good as anywhere I guess.

FA cup returns on its own day at the end of the season - as it should be!  Good news!

3pm Kick Off time needs to be reinstated too.

 

 

5.15 kick of is pants. 

Thank goodness for that.

 

And can it be changed back to a 3pm kick off please.

Yeah - too true! 5.15 just isn't right is it?  When we won in 2012 it was the ONE Saturday night of the whole effing year I HAD to go out at 7.00 (I think!) and so missed the end - I was well pissed off!  (and that's not the reason I want it back to 3 - just an added moan on top of the fact it should always be at 3.)

And so it should be. I hate seeing the final just shoehorned into any available spot when the season isn't even over. The FA get a lot of stick but credit to them for correcting one of their mistakes. Now let's go back to playing the semis at neutral club grounds.

Couldn't agree more, all games in my opinion should be Saturday 3pm. Gives us more time in the evening to celebrate! The FA showing some common sense, surely not!

Good news!

Ive heard it will be 10.30pm kick off to accommodate the US market.

Still seems a bit pointless having semis at Wembley though.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's wrong with semifinals at Wembley?

The whole magic of going to Wembley is to play at the final, the grand occasion.

Playing there for the semi finals is just about £££££££ for the FA, nothing else.

It's better for it to be spread across stadiums like Villa Park, etc as it injects more cash into those clubs and not into the FA's pockets like Zola mentioned.

Oh piss off....

No its not, Villa Park is a sh*t hole. 

Doesn't matter where or at what time im sure we will win it

Perhaps the FA CUP final may regain some of the credibility that was lost
