Talk:Govandale Park

Title is wrong

Having spent a few minutes looking into Linthouse, the title this article is badly inaccurate. The club moved out of Langlands and played at Govandale from at least 1895, and probably 1894 as currently quoted as the moving in date. I will amass a few refs and sort this over this week. here is one ref for Langlands in 1893 (and another). This and this have 1894 matches at Govandale. I don't think Langlands was their stadium for any league matches, so technically might be better just to re-name this to Govandale once I've compiled enough evidence to prove that title to be accurate - presumably all the stats and history as quoted from the book relate to Govandale as well but I will check all that. I suppose this is what happens when using a single source for an article. Crowsus (talk) 20:39, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

All the information in the article is per the Ultimate Directory (I've just double checked to make sure I hadn't made some kind of horrendous mix up). I wonder if "Langlands Road" (which the book says they left in 1894) was actually "Langlands Park" and the ground covered in the book was Govandale. The book mentions the ground was located on the "east side of Craighton Road" and the map shows a road called "Livingston Place", if that's of any help. Number 57 21:44, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
