* Although the half-time
break was introduced on 23 February 1870, the teams changed ends after each
goal or after forty-five minutes. This rule existed up until 24
February 1875,
when the half-time 'interval' was to be introduced at the end of that season,
and the changing ends after a goal scored was abolished.
