Bolton Wanderers

You have the difficult part correct, that of the stadium, but the winners were a different team.

Actually, that was the easy bit. The Fallowfield stadium was notoriously grossly overcrowded for the 1893 FA Cup final. Similar to what subsequently happened in the final at Wembley, some thirty years later, perhaps?

1st round .... Won 2-1 at home to Bolton Wanderers
2nd round ... Won 2-1 at home to Middlesbrough
Q/Finals...... Won 5-0 at home to Darwen
S/ Finals..... Won 2-1 against Blackburn Rovers
Final ......... Won 1-0 against Everton

So who were the winning team?

So a Midlands team and probably one of the original 12 football league clubs, that narrows it down a bit
