Foundation[edit]

Quote - '... The ground was first opened in 1938 by William Clarke ...'

1838, probably ? -- Tintin1107.

Must be, but I don't have a reference. The mention of 1830s in the paragraph above comes from the Trent Bridge website, IIRC. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:05, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Trent Bridge was founded in 1841, though the first recorded cricket game was held in 1838. The previous article contained an error, stated above in the discussion thread, however I have corrected it. Also, I have added the recent developments and a couple of interesting links. -- Xaxerian 19:10, 7 January 2005
third oldest Test venue

Presumably that means it is the third oldest ground to host Test cricket; as the line stands it looks as though it means it was the third venue to be used. Loganberry (Talk) 02:13, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Good point - I have no idea what that means. It would probably be better to say it was the 4th ground in England, and the 10th ground worldwide, to host Test cricket (per List of Test cricket grounds and cricinfo). -- ALoan (Talk) 11:19, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Stand Photo[edit]

Is it the Radcliffe Road Stand or William Clarke stand? This article calls it the latter - Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club (see caption on photo there)

Test Ground Status[edit]

Is it really under threat as is suggested? It was going to miss out in 2009 on the rota system anyway, I think. Small capacity, but it's a ground with great facilities, I doubt it'll ever be dropped in the near future...

Can we use this photo?[edit]

I refer to Image:Trentbridgecricketground.jpeg (the other one is PD, so obviously fine). The tag says that fair-use images can only be used where "no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information" (my emphasis). As I read it, that means that since it's obviously possible for someone to take a free photo of Trent Bridge, we shouldn't be using a non-free image at all. Thoughts? Loganberry (Talk) 16:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to agree there. I can take an alternative next time I'm there, but that won't be until April! Ollie 19:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling Hero[edit]

Trent Bridge is also a child who lives in South Carolina. He is a hero at spelling. He competed in the Regional SpellBound competition in 2008 hosted by the Post&Courier at the Charleston Southern Lightsey Chapel. He placed 16th out of 50 there. His number on his chain was excitingly, 50! He won his School bee and placed 2nd at the District bee. He was very stumped at his Regional bee by the word Newfangled. He had never heard it, but he reluctantly spelled it, but he was correct! His number on his chain was 3.

Tense trouble[edit]

The paragraph starting "Starting in 2007" has trouble with its tenses. Somebody who knows all the facts should clean it up. It would be easy to do a surface clean, but perhaps the trouble arises from information that has been lost from the article. Also, is the redevelopment ongoing (as currently implied), is it completed, or in suspension for lack of funds or planning permission, or whatever? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Damoore031 (talk • contribs) 11:37, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Too promotional[edit]

The section headed "Ground" (especially its first paragraph) reads too much as a promotion of the ground rather than a neutral description of it. It also contains dated references: the reference for TB being one of the best grounds in the word to watch cricket is from a 2005 web page. I think this section needs toning down by somebody who knows more about the ground than I do.
