[edit] England C?
Why has this page been renamed as England C? As far as I'm aware the team is still known as the National Game XI- the FA's website still uses this name, as does the BBC. Unless anyone can provide a link to confirm that the team is officially known as England C I suggest changing it back to National Game XI. Simon KHFC 13:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merger?
No point in a merger, I think the article was created in good faith, but it is redundant. So I'm going to tag it for deletion.
It would seem that the name change from England National Game XI to England C was a touch premature. Bigmike 11:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough, I did think of doing the same, but was unsure of the correct procedure for redundant articles. Simon KHFC 14:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Semi-pro?
I doubt that any of the players in recent appearances of England C are semi-pro. They are full time, long term professionals, with no other employment. Even if there are some individuals for whom this is not the case, that i not the grounds f their inclusion, nor is it the qualifying feature for the team. Their eligibility for selection depends entirely on the league status of their teams, not their sources of income. The phrase "semi-professional" should only be used in historical references to the team, and not to ots more recent manifestations. Kevin McE (talk) 12:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
