Sunderland was a joke. Luton or Bournemouth would not have been promoted on my logic, However, they would have known the standard required and would either have met them, perhaps by spending less on players and been less “competitive”, or have had to accept that they wouldn’t get promoted. Man...

Walking, surely.

As I said in post 117, you have focused on my glib comment about away fans but it is more than that. If a club doesn’t have a ground that meets required standards then they could be replaced by one that does. Preferably not Sunderland.

You have really focused on my comment about away fan capacity at these smaller grounds, and in fairness I did use that as a justification. In reality, it’s more than that though. It just seems somewhat tinpot to have matches in supposedly the best league in the world being watched live by so few...

The volunteers are free, medical supplies are not.

So by your logic, would it be acceptable for a Prem team to play in a ground with zero capacity? Would only need to give away fans 10% of available seats - i.e 0. No stewarding or police costs, no danger of being penalised for bad fan behaviour. Easy to align with green transport policies as no...

There’s no standard for minimum capacity.

No, they shouldn’t be allowed in the Premier League. There has to be certain standards.

So that decent away followings were possible. It’s ridiculous that there are clubs in the so called best league in the world who can accommodate so few supporters. It’s no wonder that fans are way down the list of priorities for consideration.

Big bathroom or small brush?

Totally agree, there should be a minimum capacity of 30,000 required to be in the Prem.

There's no rush according to @SBbucks

Presumably they already knew when a little event like the London Marathon was taking place. That being the case they should have either:- (a) already planned for it (b) scheduled the semi finals on some other weekend. The only thing that could have come as a surprise to the authorities is that...

You are making an assumption that I will be travelling from Coventry on WM trains😀

Has it come as a surprise to them that there is a couple of big games on at Wembley that weekend?

Th club would be bonkers not to ensure season ticket holders get at least one ticket each.

Firstly, which morning. Secondly, it‘s the one coming back that’s the problem to gauge the right time. I simply do not understand why it takes so long to make a decision and announce It. The FA don’t give a toss about the average supporter. All exacerbated by KO likely to be late afternoon.

RIP Badger

To add insult to injury, if he had been sent off and Wolves had won, he would have been able to play in the semi final.
