I'm a little confused by this sentence: "The following year, on 27 April 1901, Spurs won the FA Cup by beating Sheffield United 3–1 (in a replay of the 1901 Cup final)". So the 1901 cup final was a replay of the 1901 cup final? (which makes no sense at all unless there were 2 different cup finals that year - and the link doesn't help) Or was the final replayed before a result was had? This could be improved by clarifying.

Revision as of 08:19, 21 December 2018

First paragraph of the history section,

I read this sentence through a couple of times "In April 1884, because mail for another club London Hotspur was misdirected to North London, the club was renamed Tottenham Hotspur Football Club to avoid any further confusion." And I am not quite sure about it, feels fragmented and thought it could do some some adjustment. Govvy (talk) 16:33, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps something like
In April 1884 mail for another club, London Hotspur, was misdirected to North London, leading the club to be renamed "Tottenham Hotspur Football Club" to avoid any future confusion between the two.
I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. Thoughts? --Philk84 (talk) 07:08, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the name change should be stated first, e.g. In April 1884 the club was renamed "Tottenham Hotspur Football Club" to avoid confusion with another club, London Hotspur, whose post had been mistakenly delivered to North London.   Jts1882 | talk  08:21, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks guys, I like what Jts1882 put so I changed it to that, cheers. Govvy (talk) 13:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kit

In the kit section, there is the following text:

However, the attempt by the Tottenham to expand the business side of the club failed

I'm referring to "the Tottenham" - should that be just "Tottenham", or is there something missing like "the Tottenham Board"? --Philk84 (talk) 11:45, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's an error, now fixed. If you see any grammatical error or typo in the article, feel free to correct them. Hzh (talk) 11:50, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would have corrected it, but I wasn't sure if the "the" was the problem, or if there was a missing word after "Tottenham". Cheers Hzh. --Philk84 (talk) 11:59, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Home Ground

Isn't the home ground officially Wembley until after the Fulham game? The home ground registered with the PL was Wembley this past season and will be Wembley for the opening game of next season. Only after this game will the home ground registered with the PL league will be changed to the new stadium.   Jts1882 | talk  07:34, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the home ground should be Wembley for the first home game of the season, otherwise it would read strange when they play their home game there. It can be changed after that. Hzh (talk) 09:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
O, didn't notice this before, I changed it to the new stadium, playing one at Wembley doesn't really count as a Home stadium to me, Govvy (talk) 15:42, 29 July 2018 (UTC

Featured Article

This article is good , deserves to be a featured article . Can't anyone do anything ?

Probably needs a few adjustments first. There are a few things I thought needed mentioning in there but haven't got round to it. If anyone has any suggestion for improvement, then please do so before nominating it for a featured article. Hzh (talk)

Formation and early years

I'm a little confused by this sentence: "The following year, on 27 April 1901, Spurs won the FA Cup by beating Sheffield United 3–1 (in a replay of the 1901 Cup final)". So the 1901 cup final was a replay of the 1901 cup final? (which makes no sense at all unless there were 2 different cup finals that year - and the link doesn't help) Or was the final replayed before a result was had? This could be improved by clarifying. Ka-ru (talk) 05:58, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was a replay of the final after the first game ended 2-2. I've reworded it and changed the link to the article on the final.   Jts1882 | talk  08:05, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. That is so much clearer. Ka-ru (talk) 08:19, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
