  • Nice work The Rambling Man! The article was expanded more than 5xs, is within policy, and was nominated in the time frame required by DYK policy. The hook length is fine, and the hook fact is verified to the cited source. This hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]

In the infobox, is it not normal to list the home team in any match first? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the home team? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:09, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The first leg was played on Bristol City's ground so I would expect to see Bristol City listed first.
The second leg was played on Walsall's ground so I would expect to see Walsall listed first.
The replay was played on Walsall's ground so I would expect to see Walsall listed first.
Of course, I know nothing about the requirements for articles about football matches, but as the article stands, each match is listed in the infobox in the exact opposite way of what I would expect. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:28, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see what you mean. Switched around. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:33, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
