History of Gillingham F.C.[edit]

This article was originally forked off from the main Gillingham F.C. article due to its length, but I see no reason why it couldn't also reach FA status, so I've been working hard on it over the last week or so, and would now appreciate feedback on anything I still need to work on.

Many thanks!!!!

A very good overall standard, covering all eras and with no obvious POV issues. These comments cover minor issues, of style rather than content.

There are occasional uses of informal language: lightning-fast hat-trick against Leyton Orient, bounced back in the Southern League, pulled themselves up the table, promptly snapped up by Liverpool.
despite being managed by the former England international Stephen Smith,[8] the team finished bottom of the table - being a former international player means nothing in a management context, so the use of "despite" is perhaps misplaced.
renamed itself Gillingham F.C... ...and adopted a new kit of red shirts with blue sleeves.[11] This, however, did not lead to a change of fortune on the pitch - Why would it?
famous cup victory over First Division Sunderland - a possible peacock term.

Hope this helps. Oldelpaso 19:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
