Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has accused the Football Association of devaluing their own competition by holding the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.
Liverpool face Manchester City at Wembley on the weekend of April 16 and 17, but engineering works mean there are no direct trains to London from the north-west. With tens of thousands of fans from both clubs set to descend on Wembley, there have been calls to move the game to a neutral venue in the north, with Old Trafford the obvious choice.
Liverpool fans have already called for the tie to be moved to a more accessible venue for both sets of fans, with City also joining in the condemnation of the FA for refusing to switch the game. Ex-Liverpool striker Aldridge said: "We're not stupid, we know they want the semis at Wembley - to pay for Wembley, it was always the case.
