Who Killed the Fa Cup?
WHO KILLED THE FA CUP? IS THIS FOOTBALL’S GREATEST WHODUNIT? WE ARE TOLD THE FA CUP IS DEAD, BUT WHO ARE THE MAIN SUSPECTS AND WHICH ONE IS GUILTY? JOE CARROLL TURNS DETECTIVE TO FIND OUT. United and Arsenal have both won it a record 12 times. It’s a competition that has developed into a national treasure and holds a place in the hearts of English football fans. So, what exactly is the role of the FA in the demise of its very own showcase event? Since the inception of the Premier League, the FA has exerted less control over English football. While it does still have veto power over the appointments at the top of the Premier League hierarchy, the top 20 English clubs have autonomy from the FA to negotiate their own, very lucrative broadcasting deals. As such, the FA is seen to be playing a more custodial role at the top of English football’s professional tier. They act as mere guardians of the sport, while the Premier League dream up and enforce new ideas and changes on the league front. As such, the FA clings on to one of its few monuments of power: the FA Cup. Financially, the competition simply cannot compete. 2016 Premier League winners Leicester City raked in more than £24million for their once in a lifetime achievement. In contrast, Manchester United pocketed just £1.8million for beating Crystal Palace in last year’s FA Cup final. Aston Villa earned £1.2million for finishing dead last in the Premier League. In monetary terms, the FA Cup simply isn’t worth a lot of club’s efforts, at least not those earning millions just for competing in the Premier League (and that’s before we consider their share of broadcasting rights).

Wembley Stadium – Old and New
Wembley Stadium – Old and New The Twin Towers, 1922-2002: In 1920 a government-backed company was formed to promote trade throughout the British Empire by holding a major Exhibition in London. Land at the vacant Wembley Park pleasure gardens was purchased (see “Wembley Park – its story up to 1922”) and the event planned for 1924. The Prince of Wales was President of the Exhibition’s organising committee, and was keen that the scheme should include ‘... a great national sports ground’. The Football Association took great interest, as plans for the stadium gave them the opportunity to use it as a permanent base for their Cup Finals. £750,000 was raised (including £175,000 from the government) and work on the Exhibition site was begun in early 1922 by Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons, on a design by Sir John Simpson and Maxwell Ayrton, using the new material of ferro-concrete for the Stadium (which Sir Robert called ‘... a triumph of modern engineering’ ) and the other buildings, as well as the six huge lions from which the Wembley emblem derived. The distinctive domed twin towers that were to become the building’s trademark were built in situ and were 126 feet high surmounted by concrete flagstaffs capped by concrete crowns. Work on the Stadium was completed by April 1923 with safety tests including 1,000+ men sitting, standing, marking time and marching in formation around the stands. These would seat 30,000 people, while terraces provided space for a further 100,000 standing spectators. The F.A. Cup Final on 28th April 1923 gained worldwide headlines and made Wembley inter- nationally famous before the British Empire Exhibition when mounted P.C.

Harrow School - Cradle of the F.A
HARROW SCHOOL - CRADLE OF THE F.A. CUP When Portsmouth defeated Everton in last year’s F.A. Cup Final it was fitting that the match was played at the wonderful, new Wembley Stadium. Wembley is not only the ‘home’ of soccer but is within view of the birth place of the F.A. Cup - Harrow School. Harrow’s inter- house competition and Old Harrovians played a dominant role in shaping the game in its formative years. No official organisation of football existed until the formation of the F.A. in 1863. One of its earliest tasks was to establish a set of common rules and those governing the game as played at Harrow formed the basis of the original 14 rules. These rules are little different from those which govern Harrow football today and the first eight remain the basis of the present Rugby Union rules. The first ‘official’ football match was London v Sheffield on 31 March 1866. During the match C.W. Alcock (OH) had the distinction of being the first player ruled offside in an official FA. fixture. Despite this, Alcock (Druries 1855-59) joined the F.A. Committee and in 1870, at the age of 28, became F.A. Secretary. He quickly organised the first ‘international’ at the Oval on 19th November 1870. England beat a team of Scotsmen resident in London (including W.H. Gladstone, the P.M.’s son). Although selected, Alcock did not play but W.P. Crake (West Acre 1866) represented England. Alcock’s finest achievement was in persuading the F.A.

The FA Cup Final of 1991-92
For Immediate Release 6 January 2005 Contact: Matthew Paton 020.7389.2965 [email protected] CHRISTIE’S TO OFFER FOOTBALL’S MOST TREASURED PRIZE – THE F.A. CUP THE OLDEST EXISTING F.A. CUP HIGHLIGHTS THE MAY SALE OF FOOTBALL MEMORABILIA Football Memorabilia 19 May 2005 South Kensington, London – Arguably the most important item of football history ever to be offered at auction, the second and oldest existing example of the F.A. Cup, will highlight Christie’s sale of Football Memorabilia on 19 May 2005 (estimate: £200,000-300,000). This cup is the actual trophy presented to winning teams between 1896 and 1910 - and was lofted in victory as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Everton, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City won the competition for the first time. This cup had replaced the original trophy which was stolen from a shop window in Birmingham and never recovered. The Football Association Challenge Cup The History of the Football Association Cup On 20 July 1871, during a meeting at the offices of The Sportsman in London, the Football Association’s Honorary Secretary, Charles Alcock, stated that it was ‘desirable that a Challenge Cup should be established in connection with the Association, for which all clubs belonging to the association should be invited to compete’. The first competition took place on 16 March, 1872, and was won by Wanderers in front of a crowd of 2,000 people. Today the F.A. Cup is the biggest domestic cup competition in the world and the F.A. Cup Final attracts a global audience of up to 600 million viewers in 70 countries.

FAQS – Emirates FA Cup Final What Is The
FAQS – Emirates FA Cup Final What is the Club’s allocation of tickets? We have been allocated 6,250 single seats for the Emirates FA Cup Final on Saturday 15 May, kick-off 5:15pm. If I purchase a ticket for the Emirates FA Cup Final, can I enter the ballot for the Tottenham Hotspur game? It is the Club’s intention to offer as many supporters as possible an opportunity to see their team live during the 2020/21 season. Before purchasing any tickets for the Emirates FA Cup Final, supporters should therefore note that, should it be possible for a limited number of supporters to attend the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur at King Power Stadium on Sunday 23 May, those supporters who have been successful in obtaining a ticket for the Emirates FA Cup Final will not also qualify to enter the ballot for the Spurs game. Further information on potential supporter attendance for the Tottenham Hotspur fixture will be released in due course. Who is eligible to purchase a ticket for the Emirates FA Cup Final? As is standard practice for away matches in which demand outweighs ticket allocation, eligibility for Leicester City supporters to purchase Emirates FA Cup Final tickets will be based on Priority Points. Season Ticket Holders 2020/21 Season Ticket Holders with 316+ Away Priority Points will be able to purchase tickets from 1pm on Thursday 6 May. Fox Members Approximately 2 per cent of general admission tickets will be made available to 2020/21 Fox Members on a ballot basis, consistent with the Club’s standard away ticket process.

Introduction “Twenty-seven years ago Charlton Athletic were unknown… Now, at Wembley Stadium on Saturday a crowd just short of 100,000, among them the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet, acclaimed the South London club as FA Cup Winners. The triumph is Charlton’s greatest in a short history full of remarkable achievements” 1. As Charlton Athletic became the first professional football 2 club from London to hoist the FA 3 Cup trophy in the postwar era, the club played a role in the social revival of London within the immediate devastation of World War II.
