Qualifying rounds

[edit]

This season saw the introduction of theFootball League Third Division, composed almost entirely of clubs from the previous season'sSouthern League First Division. The Southern League championsCardiff City were voted into theSecond Division, butGrimsby Town, who had lost their League status at the same election, were later added to the new competition with theFootball League agreeing to recognise their position asrelegated. These arrangements meant that 14 Football League clubs would be required to enter the FA Cup in the qualifying rounds.

The seven League clubs winning through to the main draw from the sixth qualifying round wereClapton Orient from the Second Division andBristol Rovers,Swansea Town,Southend United,Northampton Town,Luton Town and Grimsby Town from the Third Division. Five non-league clubs also progressed, these beingBath City,Rochdale,Eccles United,Darlington andLincoln City. Bath City and Eccles United were making their initial appearances in the first round proper, while the other three non-league sides joined the newThird Division North at the start of the following season.

This season's extra preliminary round contained 136 teams but none were able to emulate the heroics ofThornycrofts (Woolston) andHednesford Town from the previous tournament. The best performed team from the extra preliminary stage this time wasWorksop Town, who progressed to the sixth qualifying round before losing to Bristol Rovers.

First round proper

[edit]

52 of the 66 clubs from theFirst,Second andThird divisions joined the 12 clubs who came through the qualifying rounds. Of the 14 League teams not receiving abye to the first round proper, Second Division sideLeeds United was entered in the extra preliminary round, as that club's admission to theSecond Division had been by election, rather than through promotion. However, after easy victories against local amateur outfits in their first two matches, the club had to forfeit their first qualifying round tie againstHarrogate as it clashed with a League fixture againstThe Wednesday atHillsborough. Three sides from the Third Division (Merthyr Town,Newport County andGillingham) were entered in the fourth qualifying round, while four from the Second Division and six from the Third Division were entered in the sixth qualifying round. These were:

Second Division

Third Division

Of those sides not proceeding to the first round proper, Port Vale lost to Clapton Orient, Coventry City lost to Rochdale and Rotherham County lost to Luton Town.

32 matches were scheduled to be played on Saturday, 8 January 1921. Six matches were drawn and went to replays in the following midweek fixture, of which one went to another replay.
