[edit] GA review

I'll skip the introductions, as you already know me. I'll be reviewing the article shortly (after my sandbox is freed up of the other review). Noble Story (talk) 10:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

The review is now posted at my here. Noble Story (talk) 10:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

After taking the liberty of making a few small changes, there are a few more small things to clean up:

In "Lower divisions (1946–1981)" the sentence "In 1960, eight years after the ground's Midland Road stand had been half-closed following examinations of the foundations ordered as a result of the 1946 Burnden Park disaster, the entire stand was closed, leaving the ground with just three stands," I'm not really sure what you mean by stands. A little clarification might be helpful.

In "Bantam progressivism (1981–1990)", the last sentence of the first paragraph says, "Despite not recording their first for more than two months the pair guided City to 12th position." The first what? The next sentence also says "In June 1983, Martin called in the receivers and the club was put up for sale." Who or what were the receivers? Noble Story (talk) 02:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Stands are the different areas of the ground. It's fully explained what the stands are at Valley Parade itself. I'm not sure I can add a concise explanation to be honest, which would be suited to a history article.

I've fixed the other two. Peanut4 (talk) 02:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
