  • The Football Association Challenge the Cup Final
    The Football Association Challenge The Cup Final Cup Final Facts • The match is widely known as just the Cup Final. • It is the last match in the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup. • It has about 86 000 spectators and millions of TV viewers. • The trophy (winner’s cup) is only on loan to the winning side. • It is the oldest cup competition in the world, first played in the 1871 - 72 season. Who Can Enter? The Challenge Cup competition is open to any club in the top ten levels of the English Football League. Once clubs have registered to play, the tournament is organised into 12 randomly drawn rounds, followed by the semi-finals and finals. The higher ranked teams join the competition in later rounds when some of the lower ranked teams have been knocked out. What Do the Winners Receive? The winners of the final match receive the Football Association Cup, the FA Cup. It comes in three parts; the base, the cup and a lid. Over the years, there have been two designs of trophy and five cups have been made. The first cup, known as the ‘little tin idol’, was stolen in 1895 and never returned. An exact replica was made and used until 1910. From 1911, a new design was made. In 1992, another copy was made as the cup was wearing out from being handled, and another replacement was made in 2014. The cup is presented at the end of the match, giving the engraver just five minutes to engrave the winning team on the silver band on the base.

  • 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.

When stadiums were first developed, their main focus was to provide enclosure for athletes' play and little attention was given to spectators. Most Greek and Roman athletic facilities are guilty of this. While the general geometry of stadiums remains the same today, the structure itself has changed tremendously. As this thesis will point out, there is a multitude of structural systems that have been employed in the design of stadiums.
