I'll be happy to do this review. Hope to provide some feedback soon. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:59, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is well written on the whole and an interesting read. I'm a lifelong footy fan and I have heard of both Sneinton and Carlton but would never have known they were the same club. Anyway, this ticks all the boxes so I'm passing it as a GA.
There are just a few minor points if you intend to go for FAC. Some of the prose is a touch flowery – e.g., Sneinton's 1920–21 League campaign awarded them third place, perceived as encouraging granting widespread injuries and the emergence of young talent
. You could say, more simply put, Despite team rebuilding and widespread injuries, Sneinton finished an encouraging third in their 1920–21 league campaign.
I think you should replace all instances of side with team because the word could confuse some readers. In a similar vein, please make sure you use team and not club when talking about match performances and the like. For example, County and Forest paid for the club's travel to Stockton, where it was defeated 7–2.
It was the team that travelled and was defeated, not the club. Again, some readers might be confused. Vice-versa, although I haven't noticed one, don't use team when you mean club.
I've taken many of the sources on trust and I've assumed the images are okay because I can't see or envisage any issues but, if you go to FAC, you should double check them all first.
Anyway, it's a good article. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 05:30, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could the lede, and the TFA blurb, make clear whether the club currently is professional or amateur? DePiep (talk) 07:02, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
