1892?
It was 1867, so the floor is yours...
Thank you! Believe the U.S. only paid an average couple of cents per acre for Alaska. What a bargain!
I suggest The Oval and say 1903
Kennington Oval is the right venue, and the 1903 final was played in April, but the answer isn't 1903. N.B. The FA Cup Final in 1903 was played at the Crystal Palace.
Nope. The 1911 final was at the Crystal Palace (the 1911 replay was at Old Trafford) and both these matches were played in April, but that's not the venue (which was the Kennington Oval as mentioned upthread just now) or the year that the final was first played in April.
It was indeed. First match at the Crystal Palace, replay at Bolton (Burnden Park). Again both matches played in April. But not the earliest year/season that the final has been played in April.
1900 FA Cup Final was played at the Crystal Palace. Bury beat Southampton 4-0. Was in April. But wasn't the earliest year/season the final has been played in April.
Memo to self: never take Chas'n'Dave as one's point of reference.
Nope. 1897 final was at the Crystal Palace. Was played in April, but 1896-97 season wasn't the earliest ever FA Cup final to be played in April. Looking for another year, venue was Kennington and obviously earlier than 1897.
Nope, but you hit the post there! Final in 1881 was in April and was at Kennington, but not the earliest ever FA Cup Final played in April.
Is the correct answer! Clapham Rovers (1) v Oxford University (0). Played at the Kennington Oval on 10th April 1880. First ever final to be played on a date in April. Previously they were played on dates in March.
No. Was at the Kennington Oval in (March) 1888, and it did involve Preston North End (as losing finalists) but the correct answer is, as per the previous post, (April) 1880.
