FA reject fans' demand ​for Liverpool vs Man City semi-final but offer travel alternative

The FA will lay on 100 free buses for the FA Cup semi-final after confirming that Liverpool's clash with Manchester City will take place at Wembley.

The two tournament favourites were drawn against each other but it created a logistical nightmare. The FA Cup semi-final takes place on Saturday April 16 with no trains going from London Euston to the north west due to the disruption of rail works, which have been planned for some months. That would've been a popular mode of transport for the fans of both clubs.

Immediately there were calls for the game to be moved, which would've seen the FA cool on their stance of holding semi-finals at Wembley. Old Trafford was mooted as a possible venue such was its proximity to both clubs. However the country's authorities have confirmed the game will take place in London but in an attempt to help fans have put on hosts of buses.
