FA Cup semi final day used to be a big thing. Less so now even though games played at Wembley.
But which four current EFL teams have not played at Wembley since it was rebuilt twenty odd years ago.
Think we did this one a long while back. Accrington for sure and maybe Blackburn?
Blackburn, Ipswich, Colchester, Accrington.
Indeed.
Not impossible that Ipswich may yet make it this season.
I’ve seen people answer the question below.
But, i dont mind the Semis at Wembley. I think the bigger issue is that they arent on terrestrial tv, and other games are played on the same day and even time.
Today its 5.15 for the Semi while Arsenal play at 5 30.
Its a mess.
Todays game is on BBC. Think there were always other games being played at same time as semis
Interesting way of framing it. Personally I think playing semi finals at Wembley has contributed to their decline

Totally agree there was perhaps a case in the 1990s Post Hillsborough to play these games at suitable and safe venues but now we are awash with top class stadiums as ever money dictates
The absolute fabric of the English game is destroyed when you reach Wembley, before getting to the final. Amongst many atrocious decisions the FA have made, this is the worst.
But as a nation, if we had anything collectively amongst us, we should boycott the competition until its reversed. The beauty of two teams in opposite colours arriving in a neutral city with the dream of reaching Wembley,and singing about those dreams has been eradicated by corporate money making Heathens, who have no respect or feeling for the game.
