 New Brompton struggled in Division One , generally finishing close to the foot of the table , but did reach the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in 1899 – 1900 , losing 1 – 0 to Southampton . In the same season the club was forced to play a league fixture at the home ground of Woolwich Arsenal when Priestfield was closed due to crowd trouble in a match against Millwall .
