Liverpool and Manchester mayors want FA Cup semi-final switched from Wembley
BBC Sport says the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City should be moved from Wembley, say the mayors of both cities.
The game is scheduled to take place on the weekend of 16 and 17 April.
However, engineering works mean no trains are running from either city to or from London from 15 to 18 April.
Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram both say the game needs to be at a “more accessible stadium”.
In a joint letter to the Football Association, Mr Burnham and Mr Rotheram said: “Without quick, direct trains, many people will be left with no option but to drive, fly, make overly complex rail journeys or book overnight accommodation.
