Ahead of Wednesday's game I reckon that the mighty Chairboys have played at 4 grounds that have been used at some time for FA cup finals or replays Can you name them ?
Yes your right Bookertease and LX1 the 4 are Wembley , Bramall Lane , Stamford Bridge and the Oval I was there around 1972 when we played Corinthian Casuals in an league game. A bizzare venue for football in winter with about 200 there.
For 49 years I've thought the 1970 replay Leeds v Chelsea had been played at Hillsborough, turns out it was Old Trafford.
Not only a fun quiz but helped correct a wrong memory.
Didn’t realise it was as recent as 1972. Wonder how many years they played there? They were nomads. I have vague (probably wrong) recollections of seeing them play us at Dulwich and Tooting in the mid-70s
Yes correct I think they went back there for one season ie 72/73 having played there years before I think they could only play there Saturday's as the Oval had no lights And by then all clubs had them. I vaguely remember a 2 o clock kick off time that afternoon. The teams came out of the Pavillion and crossed over to the far side of the ground. The managers stood on the touchline like a Sunday League game Weird to have seen us play there and later places !iike Wembley Villa Park and White Hart Lane. How boring to have followed a club who have spent all their time at the top of the football tree.

Bramall Lane. Oakhill? Wembley obvs
Maine Road

Hillsborough?
Wembley, Wembley, Stamford Bridge, White Hart Lane?
More than 4 surely
OK Wembley of course - how could i forget that
Ayresome Park - or was that the Amateur Cup?
Bramall Lane, Stamford Bridge, Wembley
Is there really a 4th one?
Just loked it up...reckon only the 3 @Doob has suggested..
Makes sense if you count both Wembley Stadiums.
One of you has 3 right but you have all missed one
Highbury
Would suggest Crystal Palace was not Selhurst
Your right It was the old Crystal Palace exhibition ground latterly the site of the Athletics Ground not Selhurst so not one of the 4
Am counting Wembley as just one
Did we used to play Corinthian Casuals at the Oval?
I have vague recollections that they played there for a couple of years (50’s/60’s)
The Oval v Corinthian Casuals
excellent quiz question

Superb quiz question..and great reminices from the Oval
I originally misread the question as being FA Cup semi-finals! Great question though.
Me too - bizarre
Was always doing that at school. Glad you enjoyed the question.
