What on earth does this mean?
"The club did not actually come 1st place, they came 13th, but were champions on the basis of re-election." -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Holding on
"They regained their Football League place automatically via promotion as champions of the Conference (beforehand it was done by re-election) at the first attempt with a long ball game devised by eccentric manager Colin Murphy and have held on to it ever since." They've held onto what - their Football League place, or the long ball game? (Chorleypie (talk) 16:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC))

Jackie Robinson (footballer)
I'm currently researching Robinson to improve the article on him, and he was player-coach for a brief period in 1949, however this is not mentioned in the managerial history on this article. Am I getting the wrong end of the stick; was he more involved in assisting training at the club or something, rather than actually managing the team? Also, as a four time England international and having played for two First Division clubs (Shef Wed and Sunderland), shouldn't he be included in the notable player's section, despite only making 8 appearances?

2016–17 FA Cup section paragraph
Is it me, or is this whole section really poorly written? The progression ordering seems off also. Would it not be better to rename the section for the season? Because it has also failed to mention how well Lincoln have done in the Conference League. Govvy (talk) 14:28, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

History
I am inclined to restore all that been removed, I see no point in you destroying the article to separate the history when the article itself isn't even that large. This seems a pointless WP:CONTENTFORK in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 18:48, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Regarding content forks, I point you Huddersfield Town A.F.C. and it's history page, Hartlepool United F.C. and it's history page, Gillingham F.C. and it's history page, Stockport County F.C. and it's history page, Carlisle United F.C. and it's history page, Cambridge United F.C. and it's history page and many other football clubs in and around League One and Two of the EFL and the National League and their articles in Category:History of association football clubs in England. Personally, I do not really care either way, but I would like to see some consistency across the board on football club articles and their history. So if you wish to restore the content in this article and redirect the created history page, I would like to see the same done to Huddersfield Town A.F.C., for instance, and merge History of Carlisle United F.C. to the main football club article, etc... On the other hand, the history sections of many football clubs' articles suffer from WP:RECENT, having not much information on the club's early history, but an excess amount of information on the past few years - this was the case with Lincoln City F.C., which was one of the reason why I forked it out in the first place. Prova-nome (talk) 19:10, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Also see the article on Southend United F.C. Prova-nome (talk) 19:31, 10 October 2019 (UTC)


 * This is a yes and no, there is always room to expand and content fork out, I am not against it, but you have to remember the size of the article, you removed some of the key points from the second and third paragraphs in the article which should be restored. The article really wasn't that big to begin with, it needed work more to tidy up the article maybe shave off some bits, making sure sources are right. This primary article needs more work rather than to fork out. :/ Govvy (talk) 19:38, 10 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Southend is the worse of the lot, there is no overview of the history on the article, that's very poor MoS. Govvy (talk) 19:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Brentford F.C. has the same issue as Southend United F.C., and yet it's history is forked out into three separate pages. I've raised this issue up at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Football Prova-nome. (talk) 20:14, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
