' From Kennington Oval to
Wembley Stadium'
N. J. N. Dixon
On May 1, 93,000 lucky ticket-holders will be in the Stadium at Wembley watching some team make history in yet another Cup Final, and millions will be listening to the broadcast account of it. But probably few know much about the romantic history of this event which has become an annual spotlight in our sporting year. Tonight's talk will tell the history of the Cup from its early days through the twenty years it was played for at the Crystal Palace, to that notorious first year at Wembley, in 1923, when 120,000 paid for admission and half as many again gate-crashed their way in, and held up play for forty-five minutes.
