The FA insist final is played with a tea time kickoff, [although last season was an anomaly, with a 3pm kickoff], the final should always be 3pm kickoff Saturday.
Then ticket allocation for the final, both finalists get 25k tickets each in a 90k stadium which is ridiculous, & a recipe for touts when clubs with big following get to the final.
Semi finals being played at Wembley, they should be held at neutral stadium elsewhere, as it was not that long ago, my choice would be Millenium stadium in Cardiff.
