It seems something of a redundancy to describe Oxley Park Sports as "another local club". It can only merge with that which is other; merger presupposes that they are the same type of entity, i.e. football clubs; and such a merger with a club from another part of the country would make no sense.

I would think "merge with another company" to be more common than "merge with a company" and we do have to allow for those unfamiliar with English soccer.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:27, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I wasn't clear: I'm suggesting "merged with Oxley Park Sports", deleting all three words "another local club" as redundant. Kevin McE (talk) 17:45, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]


It looks very odd that the blurb describes their journey up and down to Div 1 South in 2014, with no explanation of how they come to be in Div 1 SE in 2019. Not the blurb-writers' fault: it was unexplained in the article until just now. (Got FA status in 2008: I wonder whether it would now) "Geographical re-organisation of the NPL saw them play in Division One East in 2018-2019, and Division One South East in 2019-2020."

I think that I'm going to defer to those more knowledgable on the lower divisions of English football.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:59, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, thanks for the vote of no confidence. I'm going to suggest that I am reasonably knowledgeable on the lower divisions of English football. Kevin McE (talk) 10:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Same here. I just created the "Day-after-tomorrow's FA" subsection at WP:ERRORS after discussion at WT:ERRORS ... that will be available for this discussion in less than an hour, if you like. - Dank (push to talk) 23:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
