Talk:Notts County F.C.

message: British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term  club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979Talk to me 13:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your valuable feedback. However, I want you guys to read the following comments on this talk page. Moreover, please look into my talkpage as well with regards to this matter. Personally, I too feel that the usage of British grammar here lacks consistency. I feel we need the advise of an expert on the usage of the English language here. --Siva1979Talk to me 20:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue is that sometimes plural works and sometimes it doesn't - I put this down to what isn't being said in sentences "Derby have" is short for "Derby County Football Club" but equallly in another sentence could be Derby County Football club team members...."

replies: text: I am not aware of any formal authority on this point, but I believe that written English should, or at any rate can legitimately, be composed to reflect accepted norms of spoken English. In spoken ENglish it is clearly acceptable, and not regarded as ungrammatical, to say either "Notts County is" or "Notts County are". No further investigation is needed in my view; either is acceptable in vernacular spoken English and should be in writing, too. 11:43, 26 December 2006 User: MattW (UTC)
I feel you need to practise your English usage. "We need the advice of an expert" or "we need an expert to advise us". Arachrah (talk) 16:51, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Notts County badge.jpg

message: While Notts is of course the abbreviation for Nottinghamshire, it strikes me as odd that the club is always Notts County and never Nottingham County or Nottinghamshire.   The official site's history page implies it was originally "Nottingham Football Club": when did the abbreviated "Notts" form become official, as opposed to merely a common short form of "Nottingham" akin to "Man." for "Manchester" in "Man. United"? jnestorius(talk) 22:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought I'd have a go at copyediting the article (consistent verb agreement as discussed above, punctuation/number formats per the Manual of Style, that sort of thing). I noticed that one sentence claims the club to be a founding member of the football league in 1885, but the next sentence claims it in 1888. I added the self-contradiction template, but I'm going to just stick to the copyediting and leave resolution of this to someone more familiar with the subject.

message: I don't agree with this wording. It implies that Notts County were the first professional club, which theu weren't as Southern clubs became professional before Northern and Midlands teams which is why they weren't allowed in the Football League. It also implies they are the oldest football league club in the world, which they are, but are one of 11 (12 originally, Accrington no longer exist), so Everton, Aston Villa, Preston North End etc. could all make these claims. They started out as an amateur club, so this wording is misleading.
IMO, this should be the "oldest football team in the world who are currently professional" I know it's a bit wordy, but "currently" rather than "now" is a better term because Sheffield F.C. or Hallam F.C. could turn professional at any point if they wish. --MIR17 (talk) 17:28, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

message: From edit by JST-TV on 4 May 2022
Exact founding date of the club. 25 November 1962. This is on basis of information of the club itself stating "The opening of the Nottingham Football Club commenced on Tuesday last at Cremorne Gardens. A aide was chosen by W. Arkwright and Chas. Deakin. A very spirited game resulted in the latter scoring two goals and two rouges against one and one.' - The Nottingham Guardian from 28 November 1862." Looked back to November 1862 and saw that the Tuesday that is spoken of is the 25th.   palmipedTalk 20:25, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
