There is no evidence that this league actually exists, let alone that the information in the article is based on reality. The article has been prodded several times as a hoax, but the creator removes the Prod and blanks his talk page. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 22:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Blatant Hoax. Maybe it's the creators fantasy league. If creator is acting as suggested s/he is either ignorant of WP or being deliberately disruptive Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:18, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete as blatant hoax. It's been tagged as such (several times :-) but not deleted. There is no such league. The one reference in the article [1] goes to a page on a free webhost which purports to be about a Wycombe Boys A.F.C, a football club that doesn't exist and whose Wikipedia article has twice been deleted, once as a blatant hoax. According to the lead section of the article, a team called Reading Girls A.F.C. was relegated from this league the previous season. It seems a touch unlikely that a girls' team should be playing in a league alongside the likes of Chelsea U16 and Manchester United Youth... It's a hoax. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:23, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - obvious hoax. I moved out of Birmingham last year but I'm pretty sure that in that time a 79,000-seat "BT Stadium" has not been built there. I'm also fairly sure that Chelsea's under-16 team is not managed by "Joe Martian", and that a youth game between Norwich and Man U would never draw a crowd of over 75,000. All the content is clearly just drawn from the depths of the creator's imagination...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:49, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
