Manchester City have announced that they have secured an initial 50 coaches that will take supporters down to Wembley for next month's FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
The match is scheduled to take place on either 16th or 17th April, but supporters are faced with a travel nightmare. Rail engineering works mean that there will be no direct train services between either Manchester or Liverpool and London Euston over Easter weekend, making it extremely difficult and expensive for fans to get down to Wembley and back home again in one day.
Manchester and Liverpool metro mayors Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram increased the pressure on the FA by calling for a change of venue, but City's announcement suggests that the match will remain at the national stadium despite the disruption faced by match-goers.
