"At the time of their formation, Notts County, like most important sports teams, were considered to be a male-only organisation. The name Notts County was most likely adopted to recognise this fact"
I'm curious how the name Notts County reflects a male-only outift? Bob Palin 04:26, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
-- Aha, you are mis-understanding the meaning of genteel, it means refined, dignified etc, women can be genteel just as well as men. County implies genteel because a county is a formal division of land related to nobility. Bob Palin 23:40, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Sheffield FC are older than all of them so it means very little. The Dees and the Cats were not professional in 1858!!
Sheffield FC play in some lower-level competition, Melbourne and Geelong Football Clubs play at the highest level of professional football in Australia. It would be more accurate if the article described Notts as the oldest Association Football club in the world. Soccer does not own the name football.
British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979Talk to me 13:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Here in Britain a club is seen as the sum of its parts so is usually considered as plural. I'm not going to change it as I really don't spend more time arguing about it. If you want to change all the clubs to singular, I suspect you'll have a lot of edit wars with the British. Ram4eva 13:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you Ram4eva. Palmiped 17:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Palmiped. Taking an example from the BBC. . This uses the club name as a plural. 'Derby have' and not 'Derby has'. I think the article is about the club rather than the team. Although often the line is blurred. Ram4eva 19:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I feel you need to practise your English usage. "We need the advice of an expert" or "we need an expert to advise us". Arachrah (talk) 16:51, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
It says they've been promoted relegated more time than any other team with 14 and 15. I read somewhere Leicester had 22 of each. 82.163.157.251 13:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Leicester City have had a TOTAL of 22 Leicester City (Leicester Fosse) [22 moves] up: 11: 1908, 1925, 1937, 1954, 1957, 1971, 1980, 1983, 1994, 1996, 2003 down: 11: 1909, 1935, 1939, 1955, 1969, 1978, 1981, 1987, 1995, 2002, 2004 Palmiped 16:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
My mistake just checking. Just read it somewhere must have read it wrong. Jimmmmmmmmm 23:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I make it 12 promotions and 15 relegations (which makes sense, as they started in Div 1 and are now in what's effectively Div 4, so you'd expect there to have been 3 more relegations than promotions). It's still the record though. (Gimsby and Birmingham city are second on 25, though Brum have been promoted 13 times, which IS a record.Stevew2022 (talk) 01:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

While Notts is of course the abbreviation for Nottinghamshire, it strikes me as odd that the club is always Notts County and never Nottingham County or Nottinghamshire. The official site's history page implies it was originally "Nottingham Football Club": when did the abbreviated "Notts" form become official, as opposed to merely a common short form of "Nottingham" akin to "Man." for "Manchester" in "Man. United"? jnestorius(talk) 22:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC) Not sure how much use this is but I grew up in Nottingham. Notts is generally interchangeable with Nottingham OR Nottinghamshire. It doesn't mean one or the other. If anything its more likely to refer to the City of Nottingham Borough (as in "I'm going clothes shopping in Notts"). Notts County are the only professional football team from Nottinghamshire within the borders of the City (Forest are over the River Trent in Rushcliffe Borough but are known as Nottingham Forest). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.189.157.74 (talk) 13:15, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
I thought I'd have a go at copyediting the article (consistent verb agreement as discussed above, punctuation/number formats per the Manual of Style, that sort of thing). I noticed that one sentence claims the club to be a founding member of the football league in 1885, but the next sentence claims it in 1888. I added the self-contradiction template, but I'm going to just stick to the copyediting and leave resolution of this to someone more familiar with the subject.

I don't agree with this wording. It implies that Notts County were the first professional club, which theu weren't as Southern clubs became professional before Northern and Midlands teams which is why they weren't allowed in the Football League. It also implies they are the oldest football league club in the world, which they are, but are one of 11 (12 originally, Accrington no longer exist), so Everton, Aston Villa, Preston North End etc. could all make these claims. They started out as an amateur club, so this wording is misleading.
IMO, this should be the "oldest football team in the world who are currently professional" I know it's a bit wordy, but "currently" rather than "now" is a better term because Sheffield F.C. or Hallam F.C. could turn professional at any point if they wish. --MIR17 (talk) 17:28, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
I've added a section for managerial statistics for previous manager - pretty important I think to club history.
Please add in more detail / previous managers if you have any info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.223.168 (talk) 11:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
With 18 or so new players for the 2015/16 season here is official list of squad numbers at 6 August 2015.

This is a total mess and the terminology incorrect. It needs revising to make clear what division the team was in – and when – and exactly what honours were achieved Billsmith60 (talk) 01:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
