5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 18:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Y Article is long enough (8467 characters), has been 5x expanded according to DYKcheck tool, nominated in time (expansion started 20 February, nominated 22 February), and article is within policy
Y Hooks are short enough, interesting, and well cited. Either hook is fine- as a football fan, I prefer ALT0, but I think general readers may prefer ALT1. Approving both, promoter can choose which one to use
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:45, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

"It was to determine the second team to gain promotion from the Football League Second Division to the First Division. Only Birmingham City, the champions of the 1994–95 Football League Second Division league, gained automatic promotion to the First Division due to the reduction of the Premier League from 22 to 20 teams." - repetition of "team(s)"
Not really, separate sentences. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilink the terms injury time and cross to the appropriate article
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps wikilink First Division and Second Division in the third paragraph to the relevant season articles
See other articles, I'm talking about their specific seasons. Happy to redlink if that makes it clearer. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Bristol Rovers ended their following season in tenth place in the Second Division league table, four places outside the play-offs." - repetition of "place(s)"

Route to the final[edit]

"Bristol Rovers finished the regular 1994–95 season in fourth place in the Second Division, the third tier of the English football league system, one place ahead of Huddersfield Town." - repetition of "place"
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"The reduction of the Premier League from 22 to 20 teams meant that both missed out on the single automatic place for promotion to the First Division and instead took part in the play-offs to determine the second promoted team." - repetition of "team"
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Bristol Rovers faced Crewe Alexandra in the other play-off semi-final and the first leg was held at Twerton Park in Bath," - what was the date of this match?
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"The second leg took place three days later at Gresty Road in Crewe." - another reference is needed to explicitly verify that the match occurred at Gresty Road
