'Citation needed' tags

[edit]

In my opinion, it verges on the vandalistic to add so many 'citation needed' tags unless there is doubt about the veracity of the statements. Why go around doing things like this? Of course it's preferable to have citations, but at least some contributors have had a try at writing some useful content – there would be precious little on the page without their uncited material – and their work shouldn't be adulterated in this unhelpful way, which only serves to make the article into an unpleasant read.

Segregation?

[edit]

Mention is given to a reduction of capacity due to segregation. This must have a different meaning in the UK than here in the US. Perhaps someone could explain, since I doubt this refers to separating different races.Wschart (talk) 00:12, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It means separating home and away fans! The word segregation doesn't have the same resonance in the UK because we never had big racial issues. —Half Price 20:49, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so how does that effect seating capacity? We do the same thing over here in some cases (particularly in high school sports where travel distances are typically small), and there's no effect on capacity. Do they leave a buffer zone of un-occupied seats between the fans in one stand?Wschart (talk) 13:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's exactly that. The organisers will sometimes leave a strip of about 10 to 15 seats empty, with security people situated between the two groups. How many seats are left empty depends on the risk assessment of the match concerned and the stadium design. There is a picture on the Old Firm article showing Rangers and Celtic fans being "segregated' during a game at Celtic Park. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:32, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Britannia StadiumBet365 Stadium – The club has changed the sponsorship of the stadium from the Britannia Building Society to Bet365. Officially took effect on 1 June 2016. Add92 (talk) 14:28, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The commonname is still Britannia Stadium which is the original name for the stadium. Qed237 (talk) 15:24, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, as it's just one sponsor replacing another. There isn't a common unsponsored name (as with COMS or Dean Court) that I am aware of. The most relevant example of this is Bolton, which is quite similar to Stoke in terms of the dates used for each sponsor name. It had been known as the Reebok Stadium from opening in 1997 until 2014, when it was renamed (and is now titled here) as the Macron Stadium. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:59, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
