They’ll sell out for the final - it’s more of a reflection on how pointless it is having the semis at Wembley.
The decision to play semis at Wembley was a terrible one and was certainly not for the benefit of fans. I agree that's one of the factors that has now ruined years of tradition.

When it's got an attendance that's a small fraction of the overall capacity, it's not great.

I feel the same about the playoffs.If rovers end up playing Barnsley or Sunderland, somewhere like hillsborough would be more appropriate. Perhaps it’s because I’ve seen my team win at Wembley.It’s just the fa trying to make Wembley pay for itself.
Wembley should just be for finals. I’m sure most would agree on that. Having the finals of other competitions, such as play offs, allows other clubs the opportunity to play there which would be unlikely if it was still just the FA Cup and League Cup plus the Charity Shield.
