Crockenhill F.C.
Hi Mike. Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your addition to Crockenhill F.C. Based on the clippings you posted on your Twitter feed, it looks like an assumption has been made that the club was founded in 1907 because they had their first annual dinner in 1908? Is it possible that this was simply the first time they had held a dinner, but the club had been founded earlier? The wording in the article that the president had "given a donation towards the funds each season" infers that it might not have been their first season. Or was there another clipping that definitively stated the 1907 foundation date? Cheers, Number   5  7  21:11, 15 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * My, you did well to find that tweet, do you know me then?!!
 * I take your point that there is no actual mention of formation so maybe 'by 1907' may be a better phrase? Are you happy to alter this and cite the cutting? However, in going through the paper there are plenty of mentions of the club after 1907 but none before!
 * Incidentally, one report notes that the club play at Wested and are known as the Crocks, both of which will please the current club.

 * Hi Mike. I don't know you personally, but you are quite well known in non-league circles! "by 1907" sounds like a good compromise, and I'll make the edits. Cheers, Number   5  7  14:44, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There’s more… another report actually has a game being Kate’s at Wested, where the current ground is, but obviously not clear if it is the same field. I’ll tweet that too so maybe you could add that too? 2A02:C7E:44F:800:39BA:E4A7:C5D9:E7D4 (talk) 11:52, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
