1of4 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 This season Spurs are playing their home games at Wembley. What will happen if they get to the FA Cup semi-final or even the final, should the ties be played at Wembley or should they be played elsewhere.

needles Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 With Spurs record at Wembley being poor (I'm told), maybe their opposition might be happy to pay them there? I principle though, no, any semi-final with spurs in should be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I suppose there is some contingency plan in place. A semi-final involving Spurs would have to be played at the Arse or West Ham i suppose. I'd make em play at the New Den personally so all their designer bearded hipster fans would get a good kicking sarf ov the rivah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 They will still be played at Wembley, it won't have been discussed, if it has the response would have been a shrug of the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Why would it matter? Because Spurs will know what the pitch is like and have an advantage? It's still Wembley. If anything it will be good for other team, their players and fans will be up for a chance to play in a major competition at Wembley and get a boost in performance, while Spurs may see it as another game and not raise their game accordingly. They've also yet to turn up in a big game at Wembley in a while (they were pants in Champs League last season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Agree, see no advantage really, still have a massively reduced ticket allocation to allow the corporate lot in. Won't feel like home after one season, ask West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I find it funny that Arsenal have played more games at Spurs home ground this season and also won a trophy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshfieldRam Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I still don't agree with the Semi-Finals being at Wembley. One should be at Old Trafford, the other at the Olympic (London) Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 To be fair, there's a few grounds that's be up to holding a semi final. In London there's the Olympic or the Emirates, there's Villa Park, Old Trafford, Stadium of Light, Sports direct@toongordie, Principality stadium Cardiff..enough to get one that's helpful to both teams. No need to ship everyone to London for a Newcastle vs Liverpool semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
