Substantial GA on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like ALT1 best, giving an idea of the long history. In the original, I thought Filbert was a street, sorry about my ignorance ;) - ALT2 has two many names that leave me cold, - possibly the only one. The image is licensed but you'll have to add pictured somewhere in hooks, and if not taken, they should probably have some "stadium" or whatever to make clear it's not a lane. Please get a bit further with the qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:40, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for this, Gerda. Sorry, I remembered the bolds but forgot the links, ha! I've placed (pictured) after each link to the ground. The Nevilles are famous in England but certainly less so elsewhere. I like your point about the long history so I'd be happy to swap ALT0 and ALT1 if you wish. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:09, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
no need to swap, just saying that I prefer ALT1, and you see the point ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Promoted ALT1 to Prep 7. I decided to not use the image because the floodlights mentioned in the hook were not featured in the picture, the image did not feature anything particularly significant about the location (architecture, feature, event, etc.) and there are lots of image hooks already on the approved list.
