EDITORS COMMENTS
This bird's eye view photograph captures the excitement and grandeur of the FA Cup Final between Newcastle United and Bradford City, held at the Crystal Palace on Saturday, 1st April 1911. The image offers a unique perspective of the sprawling crowd, with thousands of spectators dressed in their finest attire, eagerly watching the action unfold on the lush green pitch below. The FA Cup Final was the most prestigious domestic football competition in England at the time, and the anticipation and tension were palpable as both teams fought for victory. Despite the best efforts of Newcastle United and Bradford City, the match ended in a pointless draw, leaving the spectators in a state of suspense. The teams would have to meet again for a replay, which took place at St James' Park in Newcastle on 15th April 1911. Newcastle United ultimately emerged as the victors, securing their place in football history with a 1-0 win. The Crystal Palace, located in Sydenham, South London, was a popular venue for major sporting events during the early 20th century. With a seating capacity of over 100,000, it was one of the largest stadiums in the world at the time, making it the perfect setting for the FA Cup Final. This photograph is a testament to the passion and enthusiasm that surrounded football during this era, and serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past.
