Could an Administrator move this page so that it is consistent with other Australian football (soccer) club names, which don't have dots after F & C. – AxSkov (☏) 11:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

FWIW, I originally moved the page from Adelaide United to F.C. (with full stops) because that's the way they spell it on the club logo. Then I conscientiously added a redirect at FC (without full stops), which is the reason why you're having trouble. J.K. 12:24, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Jiminy Krikkitt, do you mind if Adelaide United F.C. is moved to Adelaide United FC? Because I have visited their site and they tend to use FC rather than F.C. I didn't find F.C. used on the site anywhere, other than on the logo. And I also feel that this should be made consistant with the other pages. – AxSkov (☏) 13:54, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm not fussed. J.K. 14:27, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

I can't see any issues with this (on the other hand, I'm not sure that many people would care so much), except that you would have to redo some pages to avoid double redirects. Cursive 14:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Redoing some pages to avoid double redirects is very easily fixed by using the What links here. Once the page has been moved I can fix it if you like and as there doesn't appear to be too many links, it can be quickly fixed. Another suggestion is just to have it moved back to Adelaide United just like Melbourne is located at Melbourne Victory and Perth located at Perth Glory. – AxSkov (☏) 03:18, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Dragons flight 02:44, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Does the flags against the players' names add anything or serve any purpose ? given that all but one is Australian it just seems like noise Oliyoung 12:16, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nomanclature

As quoted from the A-League site

"The Hyundai A-League trophy will be awarded to the winning team at the Grand Final (who will be referred to as the Champions). The team that finishes at the top of the Hyundai A-League after round 21 will be deemed ‘Premiers’ and will also receive an award, the ‘Premiers Plate’ on 5 March, 2006." Oliyoung

Yes, you're right. I've reverted to your version. It's a bit odd but it's what they're calling it. James James 02:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed - odd is the right word, i wouldn't be so adament about the change if i wasn't sitting here in a United shirt waiting for tonight's victor^h ..er.. match against CCM Oliyoung

LOL. Well, they're good value for it. Excellently coached given the resources compared with a couple of the other teams. James James 02:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

it is either: ADELAIDE UNITED SOCCER CLUB INCORPORATED SA A24346 or ADELAIDE UNITED SOCCER CLUB PTY LTD ACN 106 303 744 but there is no registered Adelaide United Football Club. Xtra 07:28, 19 April 2006 (UTC) and Adelaide Football Club is owned by the Crows. Xtra 07:30, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

the last thing i want here is a revert war, but the club is currently known officially in all circles as the Adelaide United Football Club. The club was created back in the "..Soccer Club", but now trades as "..Football Club" to reflect the ASA's rename to the FFA.

Yes, Adelaide Football Club is registered to the AFL entity, but that makes little difference as "Adelaide United Football Club" and "Adelaide Football Club" are two different organisations. If you're so adament about the nomenclature, why haven't you changed the page's name and all of it's references, the FC is there for a reason Oliyoung 00:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I repeat again. The name that is REGISTERED is Adelaide United Soccer Club NOT Adelaide United Football Club. Xtra 01:41, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

If you want to quote a full name - quote the official registered full name. Xtra 01:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

And the Brisbane Lions are officially registered as the BRISBANE BEARS-FITZROY FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ACN 054 263 473. The Lions' page currently has a half-sentence reference to this fact, but beyond this the name used throughout the page is "Brisbane Lions", and the trading name, "Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club". Emcee N 01:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

The Brisbane Lions have also registered BRISBANE LIONS AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL CLUB. Xtra 02:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nathan Burns

Nathan Burns is on the squad list on this page as MF - midfielder, but on the Adelaide website (team page) as a striker... should this be changed, or he an attacking midfielder that should stay as he is on this page? --- Wantok 09:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restructuring

Hi all. I've restructured this article, according to the guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. Please help expand the sections that are empty or lacking in content. Also, please discuss the proposal to merge the article on former players into the 'Noted players' section. Normally, this would only include players who have had a significant impact (e.g. played over 100 games), but with only one season under their belt, most/all former players can be included.
