In the lead-up to Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, Manager Pep Guardiola expressed understanding for fans facing economic hardships affecting attendance. With ticket prices ranging from £30 to £150 and the added costs of travel, some supporters may not be able to attend. Although the FA Cup is traditionally held at Wembley for capacity reasons, Guardiola suggested the possibility of moving the venue to cities in the north to ease fans' access. He emphasized the team would strive to perform well for both attending fans and those who wish they could be there.
I understand completely that they don't come. I'm pretty sure they would love to go. We have to do it with or without them - our job is to do our best.
One day maybe the FA Cup will be played here in the north. They will come here to Old Trafford or Etihad or Anfield or Goodison Park.
It's better with our people, but I'm not complaining at all.
I completely understand it's not easy for them. We will play for the people who come to Wembley and for those who would like to come but cannot.
