Post Match.

Suddell of Preston North End totally reneges on his in game protests.

The match officials and FA however call for a reply under Cup tie conditions.

Suddell refuses such a move and threatens to pull Preston North End from the competition in protest unless the result is upheld.

All parties assume this is a fit of pique and sense will prevail in Preston however Villa are minded to not push the matter so as to not damage the credibility of the competition and relationships between the clubs.

Preston have no such magnanimous pretensions to the disgust of the footballing fraternity.

Umpires C. J. Hughes (Cheshire) and M. P. Betts (Harrow) confirm that both captains had agreed to play the match as a friendly on the second encroachment with Villa one goal to the good.

Referee Clegg denies the recollection of both captains and umpires and claims that Villa had not concurred with the game being treated as a friendly.

Oddly this evidence is accepted by the FA.

As a consequence the FA claim they can only judge whether Preston’s protest with the score at 0-0 means they are unable to claim the game at 3-1, and whether Villa’s alleged (by one individual, contested by four) failure to protest meant Villa were unable to retrospectively support Preston’s protest.

When the FA meet one week later they determine that Preston are awarded the match.

They do so whilst ignoring the basis upon which they had claimed the case would have been judged, in itself that basis, due to some unorthodox statements from referee Clegg, effectively absolved Preston of any responsibility for their protest and counter protests.

The FA decided Preston, should be awarded the game as “Aston Villa had not taken sufficient precautions for keeping the crowd outside the enclosure”.

Villa did not challenge the decision despite the wildly inconsistent nature of the referee’s recollections, the FA’s claims and basis for judgement and the abhorrent behaviour of Suddell and Preston North End.

Preston would end as FA Cup runners up to West Bromwich Albion.
