Okay, will begin review and jot notes below: Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:39, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

The lead needs a succinct line somewhere stating they were a league club from 1921 until 1987, and then 1989-2010, or something along these lines (1921-2010 bar one season?)

and an active group of exiled supporters, known as DAFTS - ??? - I wanna know more... aaah. that explains it...Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Make sure you fill out as many fields in refs as possible - for instance, ref #4 has a date written - 07 Jul 2009. Work (i.e. parent website), publisher, author, location etc.

Otherwise nice job! The article spins a nice tale and is an easy and pleasant read. Usually I find a fair deal to copyedit and I am struggling here...Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:01, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Typical, someone picks up the GA review the day I'm off on holiday. Sorry, but I won't be able to respond to any points raised in the GA for two weeks now. Fintan264 (talk) 09:02, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

That's alright. It'll hold till you get back. Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:05, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm back, and I think I've resolved the issues raised, although I struggled to find many referenced which could have much more than a publisher location added to the info. I'll let you rule your thumb over Fintan264 (talk) 13:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

• Looking good, just giving it another going-over...Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:46, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Darlington Grammar School redirects to Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College - can we verify this? If so linking'd be good.

I couldn't tell you if it's the same place. the only information I can find is this which suggests there was only one grammar school in Darlington in the early 19th century. Fintan264 (talk) 14:09, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
