 * Symbol question.svg A little work needed here, but it should just be a case of supplying extra citations. The section and in 1856 the Midland Railway opened Nottingham Road station ... and hosted an FA Cup Final replay and an England international match as well. needs to be referenced, as does The County Cricket Ground also remained on the site ... but have also been lost to 21st century redevelopment.  Sources used so far are fine: I don't have access to the two books, but am familiar with books produced by that publisher and can vouch for them.  The article is long enough, well written and suitably formatted, and was nominated on the date of creation.  I cannot see any previous DYK nominations by, so there is no requirement for a QPQ review. ← Sorry, ignore that bit, I was looking at the wrong one!  The hook fact is correctly referenced in the article.   Hassocks  5489 (Floreat Hova!)  20:11, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
