Unsourced article on a (very) minor league amateur football team, apparently inaccurate but no sources to correct the inaccuracy. Guy (Help!) 21:16, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looking at the league page that they are claimed to be a part of, "The member clubs in the 2010–11 season are as follows..." ...and they're not there. Nor have they ever been a league champion, if they were ever in the league to start with. - The Bushranger _{Return fire}^{Flank speed} 23:26, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment They are in fact listed on the 2010-11 League Table, see here [1]. Ravendrop (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But not on the table on the league's Wikipedia article, which was what I meant. - The Bushranger _{Return fire}^{Flank speed} 01:40, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is because they play in the East Midlands Counties Football League (and appear there on the wiki article). They were originally in the Leicestershire Senior League, but were promoted to the next league from a second place finish, to the EMCFL. I edited the main page to make it more clear what league they play. Ravendrop (talk) 02:43, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
