West of Scotland Cup

In September 1877, of
the 44 clubs who had 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 Scottish FA
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 organisation decided to hold a Cup tournament. At least two
competitions were run between 1877 and 1879 before the association was wound
up.
