The semis weren't great for either set of fans - Cardiff fans had to go the scenic route adding an hour to the journey, and Pompey fans apparently had huge disruption due to engineering work as well. And the tube strike was called off so late that I expect most fans had made alternative arrangments rather than risk having no way to get from Paddington to Wembley (and back again).
Shame it's no longer held at the Millennium. Would have been interesting to see how FGW tried to handle Pompey fans making their way to Cardiff!
