WEST BROMWICH ALBION EQUAL RECORD

West Bromwich Albion are now in the semi-final for the thirteenth time, thus equalling the records of Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers.

If they win the Cup again I' must recall to their chairman, Mr. W. I. Bassett, the prophecy he made to me before Christmas when Albion were in the wilderness: "I think this may be our Cup sea- son!" writes Frank Coles. Albion had a gate of 64,815 and receipts of £3,913 for their tie with Arsenal: Both figures are ground records.
