[edit] A note on British English

British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 18:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steve McIlhargey

If anyone can find out when he played for the Millers, I'd appreciate it. - Dudesleeper 13:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jack Edwards (footballer born 1921)

In researching for an article on Jack Edwards (footballer born 1925) who played for Nottingham Forest, Southampton and Notts County in the 1940s and 1950s, I came across John Francis Edwards who played his entire career (1944-1954) for Rotherham United, making 312 appearances at wing-half (9 goals). Should he not, therefore, be listed in the Rotherham United F.C.#Players records section? --Daemonic Kangaroo 05:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second-worst ground in the country?

A line states "In the same year [2003], in a supporter's survey of football league grounds, Millmoor was voted as one of the worst grounds to visit as a travelling fan, second to only Bramall Lane.". Is this true? As a Blade myself, and a prior visitor to Millmoor, I'd be very surprised that either of these ground came out as worse than, say, Layer Road, Belle Vue, Vicarage Road, Kenilworth Road, Ashton Gate or Bloomfield Road. Is there a source? L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 15:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
