Cup Semi finalsShould they be at Wembley?
Hats off to all the semi finalists especially those outside the Premiership but semi finals should not be held at Wembley, it's for FINALS and Internationals simple as that.
As kids didn't we all dream of playing for England (or Wales  ) or for your club in the FA Cup final at Wembley?

yh but the FA spent so much money and time on it they want to get the use out of it. 
And it gives the smaller clubs a chance to play there, which will probably be the one and only time.
And it just sits there empty most of the time so might aswell use it

No, they 'shouldn't'
One of THE most important things about cups, is that it means a momentous trip to wembley... and that is a very special moment for both sets of fans and the players... it definitely cheapens the whole thing imo if the semis are held there too

The smaller teams do get a chance to play there via play offs and the smaller cups etc. To play at Wembley you should DESERVE to, being in a semi doesn't give you that right?
Problem is the FA have now set the tone, will future semis be at Wembley too? What if its a semi between West Ham and Newcastle, West Ham hardly have to travel yet the Geordies have a 5 hr drive. Semis used to be roughly centrl to both sets of fans, Old Trafford, Hillsborough, Villa Park. Theres enough decent grounds around the country now to host a semi
