Liverpool and Manchester City – 100 free buses for Wembley FA Cup semi-final
The FA will provide 100 free buses for fans attending the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City at Wembley.
Fans had been calling for the Wembley venue to be changed as both clubs (Liverpool and City) are based in the north and transport was thin as no trains are running from either city to London that weekend.
The game is to be shown live on BBC One – from Wembley on Saturday 16 April at 15:30 BST.
“Unessential roadworks” will also be paused to aid journeys, the FA said.
“The FA recognises the significant challenges that are being faced by some Liverpool and Manchester City supporters with train services being severely limited,” an FA statement added.
The FA has pledged “a number of free return bus services” for Manchester City fans attending the Woman’s FA Cup semi-final away to West Ham on Saturday.
Unlike the men’s semi-finals, which are both held at Wembley each season, the women’s semis are not held at a neutral venue.
