Birch Lane edit

5x expanded by Peaky76 (talk). Self nominated at 17:43, 7 May 2014 (UTC).

  • Date and expansion fine. However, the hook is contradicted by the article in that it says that Northern were there from 1908 to 1934, which is 26 years. The article needs to clarify because the lead contradicts the body of text. the hook should be changed and it needs an inline citation before it can be promoted. The C of E God Save the Queen!

  • ALT1: ... that before they moved to their current home of Odsal Stadium, Bradford Northern spent 26 years based at Birch Lane? --Storye book (talk) 16:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I have adjusted the article's header and added a citation so now the article and ALT1 are consistent. I have struck the original hook, since it is now redundant.--Storye book (talk) 16:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
I fixed a missing ref and also moved the hook fact into the body of the article. Reffing and length are fine and no copyvio spotted but a lot from an offline source. Agreeing with those above and Story book's amended hook. Thanks for the history of this building. No image. Victuallers (talk) 10:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
