After quite a long break, I am back at FAC with another season from the history of the football club I support. The format is identical to the 40+ previous successful nominations, so hopefully all is good generally. Any feedback will be most gratefully received and swiftly acted upon. Oh, and I realise that I have not archived the references, but the IABot is playing up once again and just crashes every time I try to run it…… — ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:01, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
