A tad different with it being Wembley really. But see your point.

Interesting dilemma for the FA.

They've just been on about this on r/lancs and they reckon
it'll be played away from Wembley. Though I don't think they
know any more than anyone else.

A few Burnley fans I know at home in a Bacup semi. I've already got my coat.

I heard in midweek that the FA said Wembley it is.
As long as Chelski and ManUre are still in it.

Will be Wembley - the neutral ground thing disappeared once they started using Wembley for semis which always favours the London clubs being as it's almost home for them.

Should go back to semis around the country. Bloody London centric FA

Do people think that "home advantage" is because the players are move familiar with the turf, or something?

According to the article in the Independent:

"Should Spurs make the last four, The Independent understands they would be given no home team privileges such as choice of dressing rooms or which end of Wembley would be allocated for their supporters."

Surely the other team should automatically get the choice of dressing room, end etc.

If Spurs have any say, then it'll be totally unfair.
