A Sea of Passionate Supporters: The FA Cup Final Crowd Hold-Up at Wembley, 1923 This evocative photograph captures the electric atmosphere of the FA Cup Final between West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers at Wembley Stadium on 28th April 1923. The image portrays a sea of passionate spectators, their faces etched with excitement and anticipation, as they spill over onto the pitch, causing a delay of 45 minutes to the start of the match. The FA Cup Final was one of the most significant events in English football during the 1920s. The 1922-23 season was particularly memorable, with both West Ham and Bolton demonstrating exceptional form throughout the competition. The final was expected to be a closely contested match, and the anticipation among the fans was palpable. However, the sheer number of spectators attending the game proved to be a challenge. The photograph shows a determined line of policemen, holding back the crowd, their expressions a mixture of resolve and apprehension. The scene is a testament to the fervor and enthusiasm of the supporters, who were eager to witness their team's victory. The delay caused by the crowd hold-up added to the tension and excitement of the day. Once the situation was brought under control, the match finally got underway, with West Ham United emerging as the victors, securing their place in football history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the passion and energy that has long been associated with English football and the FA Cup Final.
