- Altered the caption to the Grace Road photo. As far as I know, the first ground was in Wharf Street, somewhere near the music hall where Joseph Merrick appeared on stage. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 12:13, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Xanthomelanoussprog: It's funny. The list says their first match was played on Grace Road on 17 May 1894, while Wharf Street isn't mentioned at all. Armbrust The Homunculus 22:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- If I'm interpreting the club website correctly, the club was formed in 1820 and played on St Margaret's Pastures, an already established ground. Wharf Street was opened in 1825 and closed in 1860- but I get the impression that the club was a user of the ground rather than a proprietor. The web page seems a bit confused to me (but it's early in the morning!) Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 07:24, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
