Following on from List of FA Trophy winners and List of FA Vase winners, I now give you the third in the triumvirate of English national non-league football cups. Please let me know if anything needs changing before I send this one to FLC too....

Brianboulton comments: The list itself is fine, in accordance with the established successful format. I have a few questions on the prose.
- Lead, second paragraph: This doesn't read very well as it stands, I'm not sure why. I tried putting the final sentence at the front of the paragraph, and I thought it sounded better. Try it out, see what you think.
- History. Section looks a bit thin; I wonder if it could be fleshed out a bit? For example, I see from the link to the FA Amateur Cup article that in the post-WWII years, attendances at the final reached 100,000. This seems extraordinary for a football match between basically small-time teams. I doubt that this size of crowd was maintained; could we have something about fluctuating levels of interest in this competition? Again, this is just a suggestion.
- Finals: If the cup wasn't staged during the First World War, when was the 1915-15 tournament (won by Clapton) played?
Not much else to say, really. Neat work Brianboulton (talk) 22:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Many thanks for your comments. I'll add a little to the history section, although as this is the List of Winners article as opposed to the main article on the Cup itself, I don't want to stray too far from talking specifically about the winners of the tournament..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
