The Arms' Park
[edit]I'm not an expert on the Cardiff Arms Park so I wasn't sure whether to list matches played at The Arms Park and The National Stadium as the same venue as several sources list them under those two different names. Does anybody know the history of the ground and subsequent redevelopment to know if they are separate grounds or should be classed as the same? Kosack (talk) 12:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- All the football programs that I have where they played at Cardiff Arms Park names the stadium "The National Stadium" as to not confuse it with the Rugby ground "The Arms Park". The Arms Park was situated right next to The National Stadium and is still there right next to The Milenium Stadium. Hope this helps. MadSproute (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Two games in Llandudno (1898 and 1900)
[edit]Hi, the article says that two games against Ireland played in Llandudno in 1898 and 1900, were played at The Oval. Meanwhile the Llandudno FC's website claims, that the game in 1898 was played on Council Field. The website doesn't say anything about the second game. [1] I found also press article from 1898, saying that this game was played at the "ground of the Swifts Football Club". [2] About the second game, I found this article [3], which says that it was played at the "Commissioners' Field", which I guess may be also Council Field. Council Field was located here [4] according to the map from 1950. [5] According to the Llandudno FC website it ceased to exist in late 1970's to make space for the new store. The question is, whether this ground existed already in 1898/1900. Maybe then the main (or only) footbal field in town was The Oval. I found also aerial photo of Council Field (I don't know from which year) on twitter [6] with adnotation, that it was the site of two internationals in 1898 and 1900. Of course it's just twitter and it cannot be the source for us, but it can give us some clue. Of course, some internet sources are claiming, that the games were played at The Oval, but I think it's definitly worth checking. Best regards, Olos88 (talk) 18:01, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Apologies, I've only just noticed this. There are some discrepancies with the naming, so I've added a note within the text in the same way of Acton Park for the first match. I've gone through the British Newspaper Archive results but that didn't yield anything. The Oval is still the primary location listed by pretty much all of the generally reliable sources I tend to use, so I think it's not enough to add much more than that right now.
