[edit] Title
Should this article move to Gloucester Rugby? It is the title used in the lead, and is on the logo as well. I don't know a lot about thee club, so I'm not sure what the most common/appropriate title is? Cvene64 12:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- The following is taken from a whois on the domain:
Domain name:
gloucesterrugbyclub.co.uk
Registrant:
Gloucester RFC
Registrant type:
Not supplied
Administrative contact's address:

- Add in the fact that Union clubs typically use the styling "RFC" (League clubs go by "RLFC") - the "football" is usually dropped for convenience when the audience knows you're not talking about a town in Warwickshire. 81.104.170.167 23:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] fan reaction to change
Some very bias comments keep flowing in to this article and i continually find myself trying to rewrite it from a neutral perspective. Put simply there is not overwhelming support for Tom Wilkinshaws series of changes, yet these statements continuously appear in the article, there is a split between fans who are either in support of or against Tom Wilkinshaw and both sides of the debate need to be covered in order to create an unbiased and informative article of the club.
[edit] Shed contradiction?
In the Stadium section, it states...
- Gloucester Rugby opened the "sixpenny" stand later known as the Shed in 1891.
...but in the very next paragraph it states:
- The Shed, so-called because it looks like a cow shed, dates back to the 1950s.
Is this a mistake? If the Shed was rebuilt between these two times, it should be stated in the article to clarify this. B e t t i at a l k 09:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
