Man City to subsidise Wembley travel for Liverpool FA Cup semi-final

Manchester City have announced plans to provide discounted coach travel to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool next month.

The move comes after the furore caused by the lack of train travel to London on the weekend of the match, meaning that 90,000 fans face taking on the journey from the North West by road.

City say they have secured an initial 50 coaches that will operate a day trip to Wembley for the match, which will take place on either Saturday 16 or Sunday 17 April. Coach tickets will be priced at £40 per person - the club are paying about £35,000 to subsidise the travel, saving each supporter £15 on the price.
