    Two sections of my quiz for the bus are below, anyone fancy their chances - bearing in mind it's got to be reasonably tough as there'll be a strict "shout out the answer as a complete guess" policy in force.

    Other sections on each of the semi-finalists to follow.

    Semi-Finals

    1. Who were the semi-finalists in last years competition
    2. What were the results.
    3. When were the last semi-finals played at Wembley.

    5. At which ground did Middlesbrough beat Chesterfield in a replay in 1997
    6. When was the last time the FA Cup semi-finalists didn't include a team from the cities of London, Liverpool or Manchester.
    7. Name the semi-finalists
    8. Who did Chelsea beat 3-0 in the 1997 semi at Highbury
    9. Against who did Man Utd win a replay at "neutral" Maine Road in 1994
    10. Arsenal beat Liverpool in the 1980 semi after 3 replays. Where was the deciding game held.

    Wembley

    1. What was the original name for Wembley Stadium.
    2. How long (in days) did it take to complete.
    3. How much did the original cost to build.
    4. What was the name of the Main Contractor to build the new Wembley Stadium.
    5. There were 39 steps to climb to the Royal Box at the old stadium, how many at the new.
    6. Which NFL teams played a competetive fixture at Wembley in 2007.
    7. Who appeared in the first concert at the new Wembley on June 9th 2007
    8. Who became the first player to win a final at both the old and new stadia
    9. Who was the first player to score international goals at both the old and new stadia
