Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your comment, I, like you, hope that it is just a one off.

All finals should be at Wembley, from Non-league to Premier League (Including Women’s football)

I like how you agree about the comment about the ‘magic’ it brings, moving the finals kills some of it, (as does bringing the semi-finals in.)

Thanks for your comment, the NFL comment was just there as an example.

Am surprised more than anything about the move, as we are forever hearing how Wembley needs to make back the money it cost to build so moving three games (one definite sell out, another two possible ) for one doesn’t seem logical, then again this is the FA we are talking about.

The point the writer makes about the big day out for the smaller teams is a very good one, having been on three big trips in the last couple of seasons with my team Barrow AFC. Middlesbrough and Sunderland away in the FA Cup 3rd Round were excellent days out, but nothing could beat the FA Trophy last May for the club and its fans.

Finals should be at Wembley, you could draw Man Utd if you are lucky enough to get to the 3rd Rd, but to get to a Wembley final is an achievement every footballer (and fan) dreams of. I hope this is a one off because of the Champions League, but I fear it won’t be.

I’d be very surprised to see the NFL wanting to play a game at Wembley in May, what with the season having been over 4 months and not due to resume for another 4 months more!
