Talk:Old Castle Swifts F.C.

As a life long Hammers fan and local boy, I've never heard of any association between OCS and West Ham United. Even reading the article as it is, it doesn't sound like the two are related. One club folds, another forms and takes over the ground, and some local players join. Marriage of convenience, yes, worth noting, probably, but not the same club in my view. A citation is thus requested for the reference to West Ham United. Equally, the castle in the badge has been said locally to have referred to Anne Boleyn's castle, but I don't recall ever seeing this recorded anywhere. WillE (talk) 23:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Kit colours
In the absence of any other references for these kit colours, I've added a line with the bits I managed to find. I'm not at all happy about these refs, but I've spent a fair bit of time searching through books and newspaper archives and can't find anything else that states that they played in these colours, so this is all I've got. The KUMB article mentions a contemporary newspaper report, so we can only hope for its digitisation at some point in the future (I did contact KUMB about this but the bloke that did the research for them doesn't appear to be contactable anymore). – See also this related discussion with.
