I'll keep posting this question until I get a useful answer.
Does anybody know at which FA Cup Final there was first held a full 15-minute interval, as opposed to the two teams simply changing ends without a break after 45 minutes?
I've a notion it was around 1885, but I have no documented evidence.
Can anybody help?
I've checked wiki, it's not detailed enough for this. Thanks anyway.
Er ... thank you, Prince, but that, fairly clearly, wasn't what I asked!
Thanks, kitty, but it it's not there either!
English Mercenary:
there are such things as newspaper reports of FA Cup Finals, which were very detailed even back then.
Somebody may have direct access to one or more such reports (saves me the trouble of looking up each one, year by year).
A long shot, but worth the effort.
The League started in 1888, by the way, not 1880.
Thanks for your help.

touchy, aren't we?
I didn't "shoot you down", and in fact thanked you for your help.
