The list was promoted by User:Matthewedwards 19:06, 7 October 2008 [1].
The format of this list is a straight crib from equivalent articles for other clubs which are already at FL, such as List of York City F.C. statistics and records, but please let me know if there's anything I still need to tweak....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What makes http://www.fchd.info/index.html a reliable source?
- Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- FCHD is regarded as the most definitive source for historical club-by-club/season-by-season data in English football. Please consider these football clubs' official sites: Cobham F.C., whose history page starts "For a full breakdown of Cobham's history in the league and FA competitions, check out the Football Club History Database." Abingdon Town F.C., which refers readers from their history page to the FCHD for major milestones and cup results. Biggleswade United F.C. says "For a breakdown of our history in senior football go to the Football Club History Database website". Langney Sports F.C. takes its historical data from FCHD. The South West Peninsula League website takes the entirety of its historical data straight from FCHD. There are many more. Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Please add references to the lead for information that needs it, such as the history of the club.

- Done, I think - paragraph 2 is a "distillation" of the body of the article, so is sourced there..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support but you should fix...
- The New Brompton caption is a fragment so remove the full stop.
- I'd prefer to see [6][14] instead of [14][6].
- Not entirely your fault but "notable seasons" in the template is a little POV and should be removed. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- All fixed :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- "Between 1938 and 1950 when the club..." - think it would read better with a comma.
- Do you know the specific match that Sancho played at the World Cup?
- Is a source for the first match at Priestfield available, for the "Firsts" section?
- Or for the lowest attendance at Priesfield?
Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 21:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorted the comma and the Sancho thing. The club's first match at Priestfield was the club's first match, I feel stating it twice would be a bit silly. I have no source which specifically lists the lowest gate at Priestfield. I could look through all the attendances in Brown's book and find the lowest but a) that's probably original research and b) quite a few early ones don't appear to be recorded, so I can't guarantee that the lowest gate in there is the very lowest gate of all..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fair enough. But what I meant for Sancho was to mention what game it was he played for Trinidad, although the number of appearances he made should still be mentioned under "Most World Cup appearances" or such like. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done that now (I think) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
