Plenty of neutral grounds out there. Look at the average gates of Portsmouth and West Brom over the course of the season. There are enough grounds big enough the cater for such a crowd. Why bend over backwards for the "fairweather" supporters? Atmospheres are much better at league grounds anyway, I've been to Wembley enough times over the years to clarify this. Much much better at Villa park, Maine road (as it was then). Semi-finals are played at Wembley for one reason, and one reason only.........MONEY!
