The result of the move request was: already moved to List of football clubs in England and Wales by year formed. Favonian (talk) 14:25, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest association football clubs in England and Wales → List of English and Welsh football clubs by year formed – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:45, 23 September 2011 (UTC) This title better suits the article's subject . Rodiger17 (talk) 13:29, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

oppose using "English" and "Welsh" could mean ethnic-origin or expat teams, instead of teams in England and Wales. 70.49.125.226 (talk) 10:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When I created the article the original title sounded correct, but as the article progressed it seemed less relevant as there are teams on the list formed within the last ten years. I propose this as a new title List of football clubs in England and Wales by year formed This would better suit the content of the article and take into account the above grievances.

Crystal Palace FC missing[edit]

Crystal Palace are missing from the list - presumably accidentally removed as part of the 1861/1905 dispute.

Is there any consensus on what year this should be added back with? Trimfrim20 (talk) 16:59, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A user removed Crystal Palace which had a fully referenced entry for 1861. Like all other entries the date in the table reflects the date claimed by the club, disputed or not. 89.243.36.91 (talk) 10:33, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leyton Orient appear Twice in List[edit]

I suggest the 1881 entry is deleted as the club only starting playing Football in 1888 GazzaLDN (talk) 18:47, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
