Wembley semi-final fusss. A solution.

[gunneradt]

Wouldn't be Wembley then would it!

The national stadium should always be in the capital city - why wouldn't it be? It was only when London mobilised itself that we got the Olympics - national stadium in West Bromwich or Edgbaston - don't think so.

The decision to close Severn Tunnel wasn't taken by the Stadium tho was it?

The national stadium of Wales wouldn't exactly be far better in Birmingham or manchester tho would it? Wembley on the other hand should have been rebuilt in the Midlands!

I'm talking about having the semi finals at Villa Park or Old Trafford, not moving the Welsh National Stadium

Fact is, Cardiff is less accessible than practically any other major city that could hold the semis, the closure of the tunnel illustrates how little it takes to cause massive problems.

Sorry to disappoint you but no-one enjoyed going to Cardiff. The place is a traffic nightmare ringed by a toll. Can't get in, can't get out by train or car.

Anyone coming from anywhere south of England can't get there. Wembley's difficult but nowhere near as bad as Cardiff and it does have a tube system too.

The main problem with Cardiff is that the ground is in the centre and parking is difficult to say the least too once you finally get there. At least at Wembley you can park and walk.

Oh how I laughed this morning when stories of families leaving after 90mins and missing extra time and pens started to come out!

Ok cardiff may not have been any easier in this respect, but I roflmao when someone from hammersmith said it took him over 4hrs to get home and said he used to get home from Cardiff quicker!!!

wasnt there a stike or something on just to add to the hilarity?

or was that only for the saturday?
