Re: FA Cup 1871/1872
No worries Anthony, it's truly fascinating stuff! Totally agree on giving the history section of the website a full revamp once we've 100% ironed out all of the creases. Further good news... our man Phil on Twitter has spent this morning digging through his Charles Alcock Annual collection and fille...

Re: FA Cup 1871/1872
Great news Anthony! The world of Twitter has come up trumps and returned an incredibly helpful man called Phil, who owns a series of the Alcock annuals. One being the 1871 edition and bingo, here is the Hitchin FC screenshot. 108D61A2-B339-4F1F-BC5C-6868E47B2312.jpeg So, this seems the most likely p...

Re: FA Cup 1871/1872
The only club colours which I've found no evidence for is the magenta and white, which, even if correct, would not have been in use in 1865! Hi Anthony - also just do you're aware I've contacted the collections department of the National Football Museum, the archives for which are based at Preston'...

Re: FA Cup 1871/1872
I can't wait to see a book about the first FA Cup that does NOT insist that the Hitchin v Palace match was played at Top Field, and that DOES say that William Tindall Lucas played in that match rather than 'William Lucas, a 39 year old farmer'! The only club colours which I've found no evidence for...

Re: FA Cup 1871/1872
With four matches kicking off that day, ours was at 3pm, as the Sportsman newspaper suggests. Regarding the others, Ian Chester has unearthed that the match at Clapham Rovers kicked off at 3:30pm, but is yet to find the KO time for the others. So that's one down, two to go. He's also (so far) of the...

Re: FA Cup 1871/1872
Match 1 Clapham Rovers 3 Upton Park 0 Hi Anthony, was it the Sportsman Newspaper that listed this as match one? I wondered if you'd ever come across any kick-off times too? Would be great if we were able to show that the FA Cup actually kicked off in (or around) Hitchin. As in the first kick of the...
