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.

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.
