Talk:Portman Road

message: I have created a very small stub for W.A. & A.C. Churchman; if anyone could expand it, that would be great. I have linked to it from this article (Portman Road). Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 20:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: W.A. & A.C. Churchman

message: I am surprised there is not an article about this event that involved much planning and preparation and resulted in a series of public evangelical events during the summer of 1984, using mainly English Football Grounds as venues and led by Billy Graham. I have highlighted Mission England and hope someone else will develope an article about it. I see there is already an article about the song book Mission Praise which was published in anticaption of Mission England in 1982Stranger on the shore (talk) 23:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Mission England]]

message: How reliable are sources like Pride of Anglia. It is good in lots of respects and acknowledges football year books etc. but I found an instance where I think it is dubious. The History of Portman Road reference says:
"PR converted to an all-seater stadium during the close season, thus becoming the first all-seater in England. The roofs of both the North and Churchmans are extended. First SKY TV broadcast from PR for the visit of Tottenham. Ground capacity now 22,500."
However the BBC states that Highfield Road was the first all-seater. Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:36, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I made changes to this page last night but forgot to mention them here first so they got taken down. My changes comprise:
1) New images: The images of Portman Road on the page currently fail to do the ground justice - most are taken from outside the stadium itself. I want to include images from inside the stadium, especially a new wide panoramic shot showing a matchday crowd, replacing the current one that is 16-years-old.
2) A new paragraph in the introduction that highlights an important "claim to fame" for the stadium:
Because of Ipswich Town FC's impressive history, in which two of its former managers have been hired as England national football team manager immediately following multiple trophy-winning reigns as boss of the Suffolk club, Portman Road is the only football stadium to have two stands named after former England managers; Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson. Similarly, the stadium is the only one to boast two statues of England football managers within its immediate vicinity.
3) Minor tidy ups, improving the flow of the text.
Please let me know if these changes are acceptable, and I will revert them back again.
Regards
James
:The format of the article was as reviewed and agreed at the Featured Article Candidate page, so had full community consensus.  Making changes, such as those you had done, which introduced tone issues, referencing issues and cluttered images, do not improve the article.  I have restored the aerial image of the ground to the lead, that's a nice addition. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:23, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
