This game should have been played at Villa.........Another example of the FA ripping off the man in the street......Greedy *******s..

No great surprise and I have never agreed with semi finals being at Wembley, that should be reserved for finals only. i hope the stadium is only half full to sow the folly of the FA.

Perhaps they don't fancy taking part in the minute's silence for Thatcher that Whelan has proposed.

[Kingsley Valiants]

After costing £800 million to build they have got to make that money back from somewhere. Should never play semi's at Wembley though takes the glamour away from the final.

They were playing semis in the old Wembley so it's not just the cost of the stadium they are trying to recoup. It's stupid.

We are a bigger club than Wigan.

 

When Whelan took over they were playing in front of 2000 at that dump Springfield Park.

 

They should be every lower league clubs role model.

 

With financial backing and ambitious, clever owners you can make it to the premier league.

No reason why we or teams like us cant reach the top.

 

I was watching a youtube video yesterday of when they beat Chester in 89. It brings it home how far they have come. Unfortunately for them they dont have a big fanbase.

[For Us All]

Will an ambitious wealthy owner behind them and a decent manager they are the perfect example of what can be achieved in football.Good luck to them,they have given us all hope.

[For Us All]

Attendance today at Wembley is 62,335,so Villa Park isn't big enough.

Wigan were non league in those days as I remember. They brought a really impressive following for the replay at VP and we ended up beating them at Old Trafford with a John James goal in the 2nd replay.

 

I would be surprised if Vale could ever match their gates even if we got in the Prem.

Disagree there mate, we would fill our ground in the prem, just look at the gate against Burton to see what a bit of success and reasonable ticket prices can do at Vale. We'd get 18,000 easy in the prem
