Talk:Stamford Brook

Useful pointer
The following text was removed by an editor with the edit comment below.

"Stamford Brook may be confused with Stamford Bridge, the area of the Chelsea Football Club ground which is also situated in West London. Stamford Bridge is not a crossing point on Stamford Brook, but is built near the site of a bridge which carried the Kings Road over another stream called Counter's Creek. "

Stamford
Please do not insult my intelligence. It is easy enough for someone to assume Stamford Bridge crosses Stamford Brook as they are both in West London. It is surely helpful to point out here that in fact Stamford Bridge crosses Counters Brook. There is room in the article for that little piece of information Motmit (talk) 22:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you think that anyone other than you has confused Stamford Brook with Stamford Bridge then please provide a source to confirm it. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Really - How can you expect to get such a source? By that rationale you would do away with hat notes and any other useful pointers. An encyclopedia should be helpful. Your move was unhelpful.Motmit (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that potential misunderstandings should be designed out of the system before any newcomers/foreigners get confused. Valetude (talk) 23:46, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
