Capacity
editThere seems to be some debate over the official capacity of St James Park. According to the groundskeeper on a non-official Exeter City message board ([1]) and Football Manager 2007 it is: 8,830. Please do not change the capacity back to 9,036 unless you have a sufficient source. Rowan Massey 15:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Requested move
editSt James Park (Exeter) → St James Park — To undo a move done unilateraly, which has St James Park redirect to St James's Park, a place with a different name. Incoming links to St James Park overwhelmingly come to this page. — Pretty Green (talk) 12:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Survey
edit- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Oppose fix the incoming links, and then build a dab page, for this not overly rare name and its variants. That also goes for the London park, which would be moved for disambiguation redirection. 76.66.196.229 (talk) 06:22, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Why? The names are different. It has worked up till now, what has changed? --Pretty Green (talk) 09:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
SupportI think we only have the two articles to disambiguate from here? We can fix it via a hatnote on each pointing to the other. --Narson ~ Talk • 17:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)- St James Park (Exeter) , St. James's Park , St James' Park, Newcastle, and whatever else is around, but these three are up on WP:RM in some way right now 76.66.196.229 (talk) 02:46, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Not forgetting St. James's Park tube station & St James Park railway station 76.66.196.229 (talk) 03:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ah. A toughy then. Do we disambiguate when others could easily be confused with but arn't acctually the same as? Do we have any google hits to support St James in Exeter as primary? Is it possible to assertain that when the others arn't acctually spelt the same? Perhaps a disambig page here is the right option in a 'better safe than sorry' way. I'm kind of hoping the nominator will put forward some additional rational etc to deal with the quandry. For now striking my vote until I make up my mind.

First international fixture
editI changed the part that said an England women's u21 game in Nov 2006 was the first international. This info's from the 1978 WFA Cup final programme which says a senior women's international against Ireland took place at SJP in May of that year. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 09:27, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
