Can whoever keeps changing the 1923 to 1940 and 1946 to 1970 subsections PLEASE stop doing so. See the posted link which verifies that Oldham were relegated in 1935 and not 1950 as is continually incorrectly asserted. http://www.nelsonfc.com/footydb/loadlgt.asp?divno=13&ssnno=64. Also, Oldham DID NOT reach the FA Cup semi-final in 1930. If you're going to change things, at least provide some evidence!
Someone has changed it again! Please stop it!
[edit] Royton
Can all editors please be mindful that Royton is in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, rather than Oldham (they even have two seperate articles showing the difference).
I know that we write the address as Royton, Oldham... but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia rather than an address label, where statements should phrased in a more academic prose. Jhamez84 00:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A note on British English
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 17:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
