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. The ballot process for Members will be open from 7am-11am on Thursday 6 May. Members will be notified of their success in the ballot by 1pm on Thursday 6 May and will have until 1pm on Friday 7 May to secure their ticket. From 1pm on Friday 7 May... Any tickets unsold at this time will be made available to 2020/21 Season Ticket Holders with 307+ Away Priority Points. The Club will then assess any remaining ticket availability and determine the next group of qualifying Season Ticket Holders. This process will continue until all tickets have been sold. Box Holders and Seasonal Hospitality Guests The Club will contact these supporters directly. Will I still be able to sit with my group if we are only able to purchase single seats? Yes, you may, however, please be aware that all seats in our allocation will be separated by one seat, in accordance with social distancing guidelines in place at Wembley Stadium. If I can no longer attend, can I give transfer my ticket to a friend? Unfortunately, tickets cannot be transferred. Please contact the club for a refund as soon as possible prior to the game. Will I need to provide ID? Yes, everyone attending the fixture will be required to take photo ID with them to the game. How do I access my ticket to get into the stadium? Print at home tickets will be issued to all supporters. The tickets will be sent to the purchaser via email. These will be individual PDF attachments which will require each ticket to be printed on separate A4 piece of paper by the supporters prior to the game. Tickets will only be sent once a supporter has submitted the ERP consent form. For group bookings, tickets will only be sent when all members of a group have submitted their individual ERP consent forms. I have filled in the ERP consent form. When should I expect to receive our tickets? You should expect your Print@Home tickets to arrive in your inbox no later than 5pm on Thursday 13 May. If you haven’t received it by this time, please check your “junk” or “spam” folders before contacting the Club. Each ticket will have their supporters name on it therefore It is important to ensure each supporter has their correct ticket. What happens if I cannot attend? Please contact the Club immediately by calling 0344 815 5000 (Option 1). Can anyone under the age of 16 attend? This event will form part of the UK Government’s Events Research Programme (ERP), used to provide key scientific data and research into how small and large-scale events could be permitted to safely reopen in line with the Prime Minister’s Roadmap out of lockdown as part of Step 4, commencing no earlier than 21 June. Supporters under the age of 16 are not permitted to apply for or attend this fixture in line with the UK Government’s ERP protocol. What is the Events Research Programme (ERP)? The UK Government’s publication of 22 February, ‘COVID-19 Response – Spring 2021’ (‘the roadmap’), describes plans to explore when and how events with larger crowd sizes, less social distancing, or in settings where transmission is more likely, will be able to return safely. The UK Government’s Events Research Programme will oversee this work, bringing findings from across different settings and different sectors to determine a consistent approach to lifting restrictions on events to inform Step 4 of the roadmap. For further information, please click here. Do I need to give consent to the Events Research Programme (ERP)? All supporters attending the Emirates FA Cup Final will be asked to complete a consent form confirming their acceptance to participate in the ERP and comply with all protocols relative to the ERP. If consent forms and the ERP’s admission requirements are not completed, access to Wembley Stadium will be denied. Failure to complete the consent form by 5pm on Tuesday 11 May will result in a supporter’s ticket purchase being cancelled and the Club shall be entitled to resell their ticket. Supporters should therefore familiarise themselves with the following documents BEFORE purchasing a ticket: Consent and ERP Privacy Notice – HERE Event Q&A – HERE Spectator Code of Conduct – HERE Full details of the Events Research programme – HERE Should I attend the Emirates FA Cup Final? It is the responsibility of our supporters to decide whether or not it is appropriate to attend this fixture. This decision should be based upon your own health status and susceptibility to infection, and that of members of your family, social bubble or, where applicable, your support bubble, together with an assessment of your own attitude to the potential risks. Will I need to take a COVID-19 test in order to attend? 1. Without exception, all supporters attending the Emirates FA Cup Final will be required to produce proof of a negative lateral flow test (SMS or email) from the 48-hour period before the Emirates FA Cup Final. For clarity, The Lateral Flow Test can take place from 14:15 onwards on Thursday 13 May. It is the responsibility of all attendees to organise their own lateral flow test, which must take place at a rapid lateral flow test site. A lateral flow test taken at home will not be sufficient to obtain entry to Wembley Stadium. Details of rapid lateral flow test sites near you can be found here, please filter by selecting ‘test site for people without symptoms’. 2. To further support the ERP research, attendees are requested to undertake a PCR COVID-19 home test as close as possible to attending the Emirates FA Cup Final. Participants are also requested to undertake a PCR COVID-19 home test again five days after the event, and may receive their PCR COVID-19 test in the post from the operators of the ERP. Taking a PCR COVID-19 test prior to the event is not a condition of entry to the event. What happens if I receive a positive lateral flow test? Entry to the stadium is dependent on proof of a negative COVID-19 lateral flow test. If you receive a positive result, then unfortunately you will not be able to attend. If this is the case, please contact the club at the earliest opportunity by calling 0344 815 5000 (Option 1). What is required to enter the stadium? In order to enter the stadium, you will be asked to show your: • Photo ID • Negative COVID-19 lateral flow test result (NHS email or text confirmation); and • Match ticket. What social distancing be in place for the Emirates FA Cup Final Yes, the seating of spectators will ensure at least 0.9m distance from other spectators. Face coverings must be worn at all times whilst in the stadium (subject to any individual exemptions). How can I travel to the Emirates FA Cup Final? This latest phase of the Government’s Events Research Programme (ERP) includes an extensive plan to test travel capacity and logistics – a process of which all attendees are a crucial part. For reasons of geographical proximity, the ERP and its stakeholders have mandated that all qualifying Leicester City supporters travelling from Leicester - i.e., all those whose address is in an LE postcode - must travel by official Club coaches. Qualifying Leicester City supporters that do not live in Leicester (i.e., those who do not have an LE postcode) will be permitted to purchase a match ticket and participate in the ERP, while making their own travel arrangements (by selecting the option for train or car). What time will the coaches depart? Due to the number of coaches the Club will be providing, there will be staggered departure times. Supporters are required to be at the relevant coach site between 10.30am and 12.30pm on Saturday 15 May. Can I go on the same coach as my friend or family members? In order to give yourself the best chance on being on the same coach travelling to the Emirates FA Cup Final is to ensure you have everyone in the same transaction whilst adding coach as your transport method.

  • 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.

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.
