The last train to Manchester on that day is 9pm, meaning fans might have to leave early to be sure of getting home — especially if it goes to extra-time.
Now the FA is suggesting fans should book a coach seat with National Express, who just happen to be Wembley's 'official travel provider'.
An FA statement read: "The FA would like to highlight that 5.15pm is a regular kick-off time in the football calendar.
"Additional coach services, which National Express are running — including directly from Wembley Stadium — mean there are more options for fans returning north after the game."
City's football development executive also refused to rule out selling Samir Nasri to Paris Saint-Germain, though he insisted the champions want to keep him.
He said: "Has this season been a success? No. The aim this season was to retain the title and do better in the Champions League so, no, you can't say our season was a success.
PSG declared their interest in the midfielder — as SunSport told you yesterday — but Vieira insisted City want to keep him.
"I see him almost daily. I think he's learned a lot this year. He's faced competition and, when he wasn't good enough, he's been taken off. It's been an important season for him and I'm sure he'll come back even stronger.
Vieira insisted City will spend big in the summer in a bid to mount a credible challenge in the Champions League — after back- to-back failures at the group stage.
