since the final will be contested by the 2 top Manchester teams, is this the cue for the FA to move the final away from Wembley to a more sensible (and nearer to Manchester) venue?

Nobody in their right mind would have done that when the stadium was being planned.
Greyhound racing has been in decline since the 1960s and where there were once more than 250 tracks in the country, there are now around 20. Attendance is meagre and at many meetings the majority of the spectators are owners, trainers and bookmakers, who all get free admission. Most of the meetings are in the afternoons, and they are heavily subsidised by "BAGS" - the Bookmakers' Afternoon Greyhound Service - so as to give their punters something to bet on when horse racing is thin on the ground.
It would not surprise me if greyhound racing completely died out in the next few years.

// Burglar - note to self - target Manchester and Environs on FA Cup day - could be a real bonanza to be had. //
Sadly, the teams competing in the final get a very low allocation of tickets. The combined Manchester teams have in excess of 100,000 weekly fans, Wembley holds 90,000, and both teams will get 30,000 tickets.
