However, he believes their supporters would rather play at Wembley than anywhere else - and those opinions must count. Stoke face Bolton at the national stadium on April 17, a day after Manchester United and Manchester City lock horns at the venue.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has complained that having four teams heading in the same direction is a recipe for "absolute chaos" especially as on the Sunday the London Marathon is being held and Arsenal host Liverpool.
Pulis said: "I am a traditionalist and was brought up watching semi-finals at Villa Park, Old Trafford, Hillsborough and places like that. I really enjoyed it as there were some unbelievable games.
"I can understand where Alex is coming from but if you ask any of our supporters whether they would prefer to go to Villa Park or Wembley for a semi-final... that's who we are dealing with, the public.
"I am privileged to be working for a club that has got to a semi-final. The supporters aren't and we have to take notice of them. The chance to go to Wembley for our supporters is immense. It is the greatest cup competition in the world and that makes things extra special. They will have a great day I am sure."
