I think it the travelling back that is most affected. No trains from London to Liverpool after 8pm - the organisors of the Cup Final and the train system couldn't be more inept!
To be fair to the train company/Network Rail they arranged the engineering works 18 months ago so the FA have had plenty of notice to make the Cup Final at a time which means fans can travel. Especially given that for a few weeks now it has been known that one of the finalists would be from the city of Liverpool.The fa have cocked up. The game is at the time due to other games being live on tv on the same day (cup final day) The chavs snubbed them over the Sunday game time as they face Barca this week. They also aren't happy with time of the final. f
k the fans as the fa want the tv money etc. Same old crap from the fa.

They brought the final forward and as such other games are kicking off at 3pm so for some inane reason they moved it to 5:15
As a policeman friend of mine said 'Giving the Chavs and the Scousers all day to get pissed and wound up genius'

"Virgin Trains have cancelled the majority of its direct services between Liverpool Lime Street and London Euston on 5 May - Cup final day. Engineering works mean only three trains will run to London from Liverpool on Cup final day, all before 8am. Kick-off against Chelsea is at 5.15pm and supporters will be unable to return to Liverpool by train after the game.
Thousands of Everton and Liverpool fans queued at Lime Street from before 6am on Saturday to get trains for a 12.30pm FA Cup semi-final at Wembley and the latter will again be inconvenienced for the final. Angry fans have blamed the FA for not taking travel into account."

Virgin is considering increasing capacity on its London-bound trains on 5 May but has warned of severe disruption for those trying to return to Liverpool the day after the Cup final. A "restrictive" service will be operating for trains due to leave Euston on 6 May as a result of engineering works in Milton Keynes and Liverpool-bound trains will instead depart from Rugby, almost 80 miles away. Passengers have been advised to travel on the east coast line to Sheffield, Doncaster or York before taking a cross-Pennine service or take a five-hour journey involving five trains.

I think you're being far too kind. The FA don't give a fk about the fans , just as long as you pay for the ticket , Sad i know but that's the way it is k about any fan, and doesn't care whether they buy a ticket or not, it's all about TV money. The FA would probably rather have 80000 corporate seats at Wembley.
