FA AMATEUR CUP PROJECT

 

Over the last few years, Fred Hawthorn has led a team of soccer historians and statisticians working on the first complete record of the FA Amateur Cup.  The “rounds proper” results have been published before; Fred’s team has now been able to find the majority of the qualifying round games.  SoccerData has been pleased to publish the book in the “complete results” series, details of which will be found elsewhere on the web site.

 

The Amateur Cup was introduced in 1893/94.  The final season was 1973/74.  From more than 24,000 results, some 400 proved elusive and are therefore not included in the book.  The list of these results follows.  We are grateful to many readers who have already been successful in finding some of them.  Any assistance in tracking down the remainder will be appreciated.  Please note however that it is possible that some of the games may not have taken place – clubs would often be forced to scratch from a tie, especially in the case of replays.

 

The list will be updated from time to time with the results as they are found.

 

The season shown is the final year of the season, so 1895 for example is season 1894/95.  The early qualifying rounds took place in September and October (so, in this example, in 1894).

 

The number before the round is the “group number”.  As in the FA Cup competition, qualifying rounds were organised into geographical groups to cut down on travelling costs.  By and large, the group numbers follow an “S” shape drawn on a map of England: group 1 in the north-east and group 24 in the south-west.  As an example, group 6 covered Notts and Derby in later years (but this was not the case in early seasons).

 

Rounds are EP (extra preliminary), PR (preliminary round) and qualifying rounds Q1 to Q4.  A replay is shown by the letter “r” after the round.

 

Some club names are unknown owing to the result of a tie in a previous round also being unknown. 

 

Please email Tony at soccer@innotts.co.uk if you are able to find any of these results.
