I'll review this. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC) It looks promising in my review, with a few minor improvements I could suggest to tip it over:

• For the referee in the infobox, he's listed as representing Tonbridge. Were referees not affiliated to Kent County Football Association back then?
  • Also, shouldn't it be mentioned in the article body?

    I have no idea on the affiliation question, but every source I've looked at lists his location as Tonbridge. I've added a line to the pre-match section.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:00, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• What was the reason for Hill's departure?

  Reason added.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• "Manager Alan Dicks", Shouldn't that be "their manager Alan Dicks"?

  I'd have thought either way works, but I've added in "their" since you suggested it.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• With the link to the 1975-76 Football League season in Sunderland's paragraph, is there a more direct link to the actual Second Division season?

  There isn't an article on that. 1975–76 Football League Second Division just goes back to the overall Football League page for that season. I have amended the piped link though, to go through that redirect, so that if ever anyone creates such a page we'll be ready and waiting for it...  — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• There should be an WP:INLINE source for the debate as to whom was responsible for initiating the delay to kick-off

  Added.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• "Coventry seemed comfortable at that point" - MOS:OP-ED (though I think that whole sentence should be reworded due to the "refused to give up" being there.

  I have reworded this as quotes from the source rather than it being in Wikivoice.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• The last paragraph in the Match summary could do with some inline citations, especially about the news coming through and Hill asking the scoreboard operator to show the scores.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• In legacy, is there a number for those who got arrested?

  Numbers and charges added from the source.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• In the paragraph about Sunderland complaining, there's quite a long sentence there on it. Can we break it up to the complaint and the reprimand please?

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:06, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• Is there a reference for Sunderland fans abusing Hill at Fulham?

  Well the two refs 45 and 46 at the end of the paragraph covered all that, but I've mixed them into the text a bit more for clarity.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• "Coventry and Sunderland were involved in further drama" - WP:PEACOCK

  Reworded.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:53, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• Is there a source for Ferguson and Strachan's claims?

  Reference 48 covers everything in the five sentences since reference 47. We don't need to put an inline after every sentence, do we?  — Amakuru (talk) 11:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• Reference 20, needs an author, same for reference 26, 39 and 45

  I can't see author names in those references, can you point them out to me? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:19, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• Reference 26 - Telegraph needs to be in italics

  Already was or beaten to it. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:19, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• Reference 47, author reference formatting needs to be consistent with the others (needs surname first)

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:19, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

  • All in all looks good but just needs that little push to tip it over. Please ping me when it's been done. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:49, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

    @The C of E: thanks for the review, and I think everything you've mentioned so far has been looked at now. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 12:06, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

    • That's a pass then. Well done @Amakuru: and @The Rambling Man:. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 14:50, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
