A note from Tony: I’ve
been working on the FA Cup database for nearly 20 years. By the 2006 edition of ‘the book of the
database’, all the known missing results had been found. However, the FA library did not have copies of
many of the draws for the competition in the 1920s and 1930s. I’m pleased to say that the missing draws
have now been found in the archives of the National Football Museum in Preston.
Consequently, another
80 or so “results” need to be dug out of the newspaper archives. I’ve put the word “results” in quotes
because we are dealing with the first two rounds of the qualifying competition,
and it is quite possible that one club scratched, so that the match never took
place. Many of these dates and locations
have been checked for results in the past, without finding these particular
games. However, now that we have
identified the fixtures, it’s worth another look. Evidence that one of the clubs involved was playing another
fixture that day would lead to a conclusion that their opponents had
scratched. This is especially true for
the 1939/40 season, where it is likely (but not yet proved) that all the
missing fixtures were not played. I
indicate a walkover/scratch with 80-60 in the database (the scores fields have
to be numeric).
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 1921 for example is season 1920/21. The dates the games were due to be played
are included, in the format yyyymmdd. Replay dates may not be accurate.
The number before the
round is the “group number”. 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.
Rounds are EP (extra
preliminary) and PR (preliminary round).
A replay is shown by the letter “r” after the round – there are none at
the moment, but if you find a drawn game the replay result will also be needed!
Please email Tony at soccer@innotts.co.uk if you are able to
find any of these results.
