Thanks David has I said not interested really but was very curious due
to the subject " trains to the semi final"SEMI FINAL God I really
should read and digest what I am seeing before opening my gob now it
all makes sense ))))))))))))))))).

Villa Park has been a traditional venue for FA Cup Semi Finals, which
must be played at a neutral ground, for many years.

Its central location makes it an ideal choice helped also by the
perennial failure of Birmingham teams to advance through to the later
stages of the competition thanks to draws such as Villa's first games
this year against Chelsea in the League Cup and Manchester Utd in the
FA Cup, whilst the Tottenhams of this World (who must surely have a
special ball in the draw) get Woking or Dagenham and Redbridge and of
course never ever away from White Hart Lane.

Yours Bitter and Twisted

P.S. From next season, the FA are proposing that FA Cup semi-finals,
as well as the final itself, should all be played at Wembley, which
was a bad idea last time it was tried but I suppose they need to get
their money back.
