The FA to return to holding FA cup semi finals at neutral venues & not Wembley.
We want Parliament to pass a motion calling on the FA to hold FA cup semi finals at neutral grounds as they used to. Wembley must now have been paid for & using it for semis discriminates against fans of Northern clubs & means many fans can’t afford to go. It also causes significant travel issues.
Football is our National game & fans are systematically exploited & inconvenienced for the benefit of television companies & the football authorities. If 2 northern clubs are contesting a semi final why should they travel to London? Parliament calling for change will send a clear message to the FA which they will have to respond to.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about football fixture locations are a matter for The Football Association, not the UK Government or Parliament.
