# Talk:East Stirlingshire F.C.

Champions League? --TheMadTim 02:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Not true the strip is correct 
iam the chairman otf the supporters club
Thou the away stip is all orange saddly


### Norwegian fanclub
What is this all about. 24 hours after East Stirlingshire was mentioned in a Norwegian comedy show, a fan club was created and now they have over 1000 members. Quite amazing. Should this be put in a trivia section?

Not 1000 members, but 5044... It's free to join the supporters club, so it isn't that amazing. The most amazing thing is this: "The new away kit sponsors will we Lifeskills Solutions, with the reverse sponsors the Norwegian fans' website, www.norwayshire.no."[1] --Sosekopp 18:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I feel there are too many colloquialisms and the article is overly sympathetic to the club. I want NPOV.80.41.46.19 (talk) 02:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I will copyedit and make straightforward changes as I go (please revert if I accidentally change the meaning) and jot queries below: Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:04, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

No need to bold words such as "Britannia" in the body of the prose.
No need to have all the F.C.s everywhere, they can all be abbreviated as I've done.
Hello, I have seen to the above requests. Cal Umbra 07:51, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
This might be tricky, but the history section seems pretty bare of player names - were there players who were integral parts of the team for spells that are worth noting? Just a few here and there I think would help liven up the section.
I have mentioned the club's all-time top goalscorer Lawrence McLachlan who was influential in the club's early years and internationalist Eddie McCreadie who was sold to Chelsea with the funds helping the club to attract new players and win promotion. I have also mentioned the players' wages in the early 21st century in general as I think it is notably low for a senior club. Cal Umbra 16:02, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Yes, this is good. Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Almost exactly the same time as this article, including its History section, passed a Good Article review in 2013, a separate History of East Stirlingshire F.C. article was populated with identical info. The situation has barely changed since then. Could anyone interested please indicate their preference for either the section of the main article to be severely truncated, or the History article to be returned to a redirect (taking care to include any differences in the added content since the fork). No need for both to remain at the size they are. Crowsus (talk) 17:27, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

I think they should be merged, I don't see why a separate article would be needed, especially when the information is basically the same. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 23:11, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll wait for others to contribute but I kinda think the same. The issue is whether the history is too long as a section but I don't really feel it is, and the length was similar at the time of the GA seemingly with no problem, and no attempt made to chop it down in the 8 years since, so nobody seems to mind. But silly to have it in two places in such detail. Crowsus (talk) 23:30, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Agree with merge too Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:47, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
