obtained entry without ticket. A number upwards of 60,000 present could be
considered. The spectators stood right up to the touchline throughout and
naturally handicapped the wing men.

team notes: |
An injury to
Steve Bloomer in a FA Cup semi-final tie between Derby County and
Wolverhampton Wanderers prevented him from taking his place in the
starting line-up. On Wednesday, 1 April, it was reported that Goodall
would move to inside-right and and his replacement Wood to
inside-left.
Elsewhere,
Ernest Needham also withdrew on Thursday, 2 April, after his
arrival in Glasgow, what was described as an indisposition, he could not
leave his bed on the morning of the match, so Jimmy Crabtree moved
back to left-half, Oakley moved across and Lodge came in as
replacement.
Incidentally, Lodge had only been telegraphed the day
before after Jimmy Crabtree had not yet turned up in Glasgow. |
