"Scottish club Queen's Park were allowed a bye all the way to the semi-final stage, and were told that should they defeat their opposition, The Wanderers, they would be allowed to play the final the following day." - this isn't correct, QP did not receive a bye all the way to the semis. They were drawn against Harrow School in round 1, but as the two teams could not agree on match dates they were both (somewhat bizarrely) allowed to progress to round 2, where they were drawn together again. The school team then withdrew, sending QP into round 3 via a walk-over, and QP were then given a bye from round 3 into the semi. So while they did reach the semi without ever playing a match, it was not something that had been agreed from the start of the competition....... ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
