Hijacked by the FA again, I suppose. Money making exercise to fill their pockets from a potentially full capacity Wembley two days in a row.
Could be wrong but didn't the FA incur a load of debt when Wembley was rebuilt, that they're now desperate to fill it any way they can ??
If it were a profitable proposition, they'd even consider filling it with water and hold mock sea battles on it, as the Romans reportedly did with the Colosseum (as per Seutonius).
It's, arguably, a complete white elephant in the footballing scheme of things.
