FA Cup DISGRACE as Liverpool and Man City fans demand semi-final is moved away from Wembley

Daily Mail  

Liverpool and Manchester City supporters have demanded their FA Cup semi-final next month be moved from Wembley over ‘shambolic’ transport arrangements, with no direct trains to London from either city on the weekend of the match. Liverpool and Manchester City will face each other in the semi-final of the FA Cup next month Euston is the capital’s hub for travel from the North West but will not service trains across the weekend of April 16-17 due to upgrades that had been planned up to two years in advance. The supporters travelling to the FA Cup game are facing severely disrupted journeys London Euston will have no running service due to pre-planned railway works ‘The FA will be liaising closely with both Liverpool and Manchester City on all match arrangements, including supporters travel for the upcoming semi-final at Wembley Stadium, with further details to be announced in due course,’ the statement read. However, for them it is just about money, not the supporters of City or Liverpool.’ Spirit of Shankly, the Liverpool fans’ group, and City’s 1894 Group issued a joint statement that read: ‘For all involved, it’s not a case of “We’re on our way to Wembley” but “How will we get to Wembley?” Over the Easter weekend, when the game is scheduled, there are no direct trains to London from either Liverpool or Manchester.
