A bit too slender for FA but I'm thinking GA's worth a punt. Let me know what you think......

  • As some of the sections are only a couple of sentences long, they might be better off merged, Future and Other uses to History, and Transport to Structure and Facilities.
  • Perhaps the sums of money could have a modern equivalent value given.
  • The "upper pitch" and "lower pitch" could do with some more explanation.
  • sent a team down is a bit too informal.
  • Make it explicit that the condition of the ground was the reason the club were not promoted to the Conference in 1990.
  • Another possible source you could use is The History of Non-league Football Grounds by Kerry Miller. It might be worth asking fr:Utilisateur:Clio64 about it, who has a copy according to fr:Utilisateur:Clio64/bibliothèque. As an aside, if you do this you'll probably find single user login useful.

Looking at it again, and going to the Cricinfo ref, I understand that two grounds are adjacent, a football ground and cricket ground. This is presumably the "upper pitch" and "lower pitch". The cricket ground lacks an article, but if I'm reading it correctly it is this ground the first paragraph is talking about, not the current football ground. This is a source of confusion.

Right, I think I've actioned all the points above. I've put in a chunk of stuff which (I hope) makes the upper pitch/lower pitch issue much clearer......... ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
PS I realise a substantial chunk of the first paragraph technically talks about a ground other than the one which is the subject of the article, but I think it's necessary background/context..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And I've contacted the French user too, using my best schoolboy French ;-) ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
