Assessment

Class=C - Comprehensive, but lacks cited references but has plenty of EXT Links (Too many possibly ? WP:EL) Some may be better as inline refs.
importance = Top (agree with existing rating as noted Derbyshire Custom)
Has a Photo, but could do with the Goals and that Starting platform (Pulpit) structure
what about other similar local customs to link to as 'See also' section

Results?

Well, where are the results? Has one team historically been more successful than the other? How often is there more than one goal scored? What happens if there's a draw? How often has that happened? What's the record for the quickest goal scored? Etc., etc... enquiring minds want to know. 210.11.141.1 00:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trenches

"Ashbourne Regiment even played a version of the game in the German trenches during the First World War." Surely this is not true! I imagine they'd have been much more likely to have played it in their own trenches. But in any case, citation please. --Deoxyribonucleic acid trip (talk) 11:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This also piqued my curiosity (it wasn't in no-man's land or behind the reserve lines?) and all I could find was this short reference on the Derbyshire tourism information website. "It's the biggest highlight in any Ashburnian's calendar - and Shrovetide Football was even played in the First World War by soldiers in France who originated from the town." link. I also found a local memorial called Shrovetide in the Trenches seemingly immortalising a game played with the enemy, but no information on a specific event. The soldiers certainly would have taken balls with them, but I wouldn't be surprised if this has been conflated with the Christmas Truce. I imagine a clarifying source can be found in WW1 documentation relating to the local regiments and the places they served. 103.240.228.211 (talk) 03:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
