Talk:1988 Football League Second Division play-off final

Areas to expand before FAC

 * Introduce football hooliganism
 * Hopefully, I've largely covered this now. Harrias  talk 10:08, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: add the introduction of security fencing into the background. Harrias  talk 18:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Added. Harrias  talk 08:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Provide background to Chelsea's notoriety for trouble
 * Possible source from TRM: Hooligan Wars: Causes and Effects of Football Violence. Harrias  talk 10:08, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've added in some more stuff about this. Harrias  talk 12:53, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * For balance, the article probably needs some information about Middlesbrough's fans; there's some stuff in Lowles & Nicholls about them, and this match in specific, Hooligans 2.
 * Cover the speculation that the riots in this match might have extended, or least prevented from being shortened, the Heysel ban
 * I think this is sufficiently covered now; there's no need to go overboard. Harrias  talk 10:57, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Also add the suggestion in "Lowles & Nicholls, Hooligans (M–Z)" that were it not for the security fencing, the Middlesbrough fans would have been just as involved. Harrias  talk 18:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Added. Harrias  talk 08:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * See if the match reports can be extended, particularly the second leg
 * My BNA subscription has run out; would you be able to have a look about to see if you can find anything more on the second match? I don't recall there being much. Harrias  talk 17:33, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I sent you an email, I think there might be a little bit more... The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!&#33;!&#33;) 20:48, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Seen it, and replied. Harrias  talk 21:11, 20 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I've moved this here, rather than have it all on your talk page! Harrias  talk 10:07, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I reckon this is just about ready. Could you have a look through, tidy up anything obvious and let me know what you think? Harrias  talk 08:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * will do, and I'll ping you when I'm done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!&#33;!&#33;) 08:47, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * yep, I think it's good to go.  The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!&#33;!&#33;) 11:06, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ... and after a busy afternoon, it's live! Harrias  talk 20:51, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
