Rename?

Should this article be renamed from Old English Game to Old English Game Fowl to be clearer it's a bird and not a game? RJFJR (talk) 16:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I would like to propose the merger of Muffed Old English Game into this page. The Muffed is only a variety of this wider breed per most standards (AU, UK, US), so I don't see why it has an unreferenced separate page. JT_dale^Talk~ 10:23, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree – I can't see any evidence that anyone considers this to be a breed. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:55, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done

100 year old trophy

I have in my possession a 100 year old silver trophy. On it says: VP &K Club Iredel Cup Best Old English Game to be won twice J Pollard 1914 1915. I am wondering if this is any significance to your industry, or where this may have been won. Sandy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.96.83 (talk) 02:32, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

VP & K is Victorian Poultry and Kennel Club. They were often combined back in the day (dog and poultry clubs). News article here that mentions him winning the cup; [1]. Use control F and search Pollard ( the transcription is messed up and calls him W Pollard, but if you read the actual article it is him). JT_dale^Talk~ 15:01, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
