Lead

• "It was to determine the second team to gain promotion from the Football League Second Division to the First Division. Only Birmingham City, the champions of the 1994–95 Football League Second Division league, gained automatic promotion to the First Division due to the reduction of the Premier League from 22 to 20 teams." - repetition of "team(s)"

  Not really, separate sentences. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• Wikilink the terms injury time and cross to the appropriate article

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• Perhaps wikilink First Division and Second Division in the third paragraph to the relevant season articles

  See other articles, I'm talking about their specific seasons. Happy to redlink if that makes it clearer. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Bristol Rovers ended their following season in tenth place in the Second Division league table, four places outside the play-offs." - repetition of "place(s)"

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Route to the final

• "Bristol Rovers finished the regular 1994–95 season in fourth place in the Second Division, the third tier of the English football league system, one place ahead of Huddersfield Town." - repetition of "place"

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• "The reduction of the Premier League from 22 to 20 teams meant that both missed out on the single automatic place for promotion to the First Division and instead took part in the play-offs to determine the second promoted team." - repetition of "team"

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Bristol Rovers faced Crewe Alexandra in the other play-off semi-final and the first leg was held at Twerton Park in Bath," - what was the date of this match?

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• "The second leg took place three days later at Gresty Road in Crewe." - another reference is needed to explicitly verify that the match occurred at Gresty Road
