[edit] Preston North End F.C.
I believe this is a factually correct, thorough club history, and stands up when compared to any other football club histories, some of which are already featured articles.

Bold text The date you have for Preston North Ends formation is in incorrect.... you have it as 1881 when in fact it is may of 1880..... The extract below is quoted from the clubs own web site, and a similar date is given in a new book about the club called "loud & proud Preston" by authors Mike Payne and Ian Rigby ( club historean )
"The success of other clubs on Lancashire who were playing soccer had not gone unnoticed at Deepdale and in May 1880 a resolution proposing the adoption of the association code was proposed by Mr Harry Cartmel and seconded by William Charnley and was carried unanimously." from pne's club web site

[edit] A note on British English
British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979Talk to me 13:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why "North End"?
Why are they called "Preston North End", and not just "Preston"? Was there ever another team in Preston? Thryduulf 11:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV/tone
Tone and neutrality issues abound in this article - word such as "disastrous", "farce", "against all the odds", "unfortunately", "superbly", "woefully", "paltry", "long-overdue", "drubbing", "excellent", "storming" etc. fail either one or both of these criteria. Qwghlm 15:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed. Well I've done a little on the pre-war period. No idea where citations are going to come from for all those random points though! aLii 00:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
