The crazy decision to have four northern clubs travel south to contest the FA Cup semi-finals may experience problems with fans getting to Wembley in time for kick off with the M1 likely to remain closed over the weekend:

Unfortunatly in order to make the sums add up for the construction of the new Wembley both semi-finals have to be plaed at Wembley as well as the finals.

There is ... well, something of a rant, from the Daily Mail: I won't quote it all here.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Currently about a quarter of what Man U spend per annum. So rather good value I'd say.
