[edit] Foundation
Quote - '... The ground was first opened in 1938 by William Clarke ...'
1838, probably ? -- Tintin1107.
- Must be, but I don't have a reference. The mention of 1830s in the paragraph above comes from the Trent Bridge website, IIRC. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:05, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Trent Bridge was founded in 1841, though the first recorded cricket game was held in 1838. The previous article contained an error, stated above in the discussion thread, however I have corrected it. Also, I have added the recent developments and a couple of interesting links. -- Xaxerian 19:10, 7 January 2005
- third oldest Test venue
Presumably that means it is the third oldest ground to host Test cricket; as the line stands it looks as though it means it was the third venue to be used. Loganberry (Talk) 02:13, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Good point - I have no idea what that means. It would probably be better to say it was the 4th ground in England, and the 10th ground worldwide, to host Test cricket (per List of Test cricket grounds and cricinfo). -- ALoan (Talk) 11:19, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The Stand Photo
Is it the Radcliffe Road Stand or William Clarke stand? This article calls it the latter - Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club (see caption on photo there)
[edit] Test Ground Status
Is it really under threat as is suggested? It was going to miss out in 2009 on the rota system anyway, I think. Small capacity, but it's a ground with great facilities, I doubt it'll ever be dropped in the near future...
[edit] Can we use this photo?
I refer to Image:Trentbridgecricketground.jpeg (the other one is PD, so obviously fine). The tag says that fair-use images can only be used where "no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information" (my emphasis). As I read it, that means that since it's obviously possible for someone to take a free photo of Trent Bridge, we shouldn't be using a non-free image at all. Thoughts?

- I'd have to agree there. I can take an alternative next time I'm there, but that won't be until April! Ollie 19:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
