This map was already posted, but since the FA Cup Semi-Finals are being played this weekend,  I thought it would be appropriate to put it up again.   Both matches are to be played at Wembley Stadium, in London.   The Saturday match is Portsmouth v. West Bromwich Albion.   The Sunday match is Barnsley v. Cardiff City.   {Click here, for the FA official site.}

This map shows the 9 clubs that were in the FA Cup 6th Round Draw, of Monday, February 18.   7 of these clubs will be playing in the 6th Round.  Middlesbrough and Sheffield United will have their replay, at Boro’s Riverside Stadium, on February 27, to determine the eighth club still alive.  The map features some pertinent statistics, such as the last time a club was in the 6th Round of the FA Cup. 

For Cardiff City, it has been 81 years since they last advanced to the 6th Round.  [Their last time, 1927, they went on to win the FA Cup, 1-0, over Arsenal; becoming the only Welsh club to win the FA Cup.]

Bristol Rovers have not been in the 6th Round in 50 years.  The Rovers last time, in 1958, they lost to Fulham.   Bristol Rovers are in 15th place in the 3rd Level (League One).

The matchups are listed on the map.
