West of Scotland FA Cup
1877-1879

In September 1877,
of the 44 clubs who applied to join the Scottish FA, eight were refused,
mainly on the condition that they didn’t have a ground of their own and
played on public parks. This decision was generally criticised and the SFA
were blasted as ‘thinking shame of its birthplace’. One of the rejected
clubs, Vale of Leven Wanderers, proposed the formation of a ‘Public Park’ FA,
and on 30 October 1877 60 clubs sent representatives to Whyte’s Temperance
Hotel in Glasgow and formed the West of Scotland FA. In December 1877,
the fledgling organization decided to hold a Cup tournament. At least two competitions
were run between 1877 and 1879 before the association was wound up.
