22A Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Good to have a few mentions on Saturday's programme. Then a Forest fan phoned in and appeared to be clutching at straws stating they still have 6 points to play for and are only 4 behind Bristol City. Sunday night a guy from Ipswich who works at Wembley rang in and said not only the FA Cup, but also the play off finals AND semi finals will be staged at Wembley. If so we'll never see the sheer passion and excitement of that night v Hartlepool again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 The caller definitely said FA Cup Final and semis AND the play off final and semis as well. It's because they want to recover as much money in the first year as poss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGS RED Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 The caller definitely said FA Cup Final and semis AND the play off final and semis as well. It's because they want to recover as much money in the first year as poss. A play off involving Yeovil, Oldaham or Blackpool, would hardly generate a crowd large enough to cover costs. The Mem could handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
