*There should probably be a sentence or two somewhere on the differences between regular football and six-a-side.

- I agree with the decision to go with points over goals in the main table, but it's conceivable that some readers would want to know who the top goalscorer was. If there were any seasons where the top goalscorer was different to the top points scorer, could you add footnotes?

- Nowadays we generally avoid bolding to signify something specific in a table.
- Knowing my footballing allegiance, I'm sure you of all people can understand my living in the past... Seriously though, you're right, off it comes. – Cliftonianthe orangey bit 03:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- May be worth rephrasing the stadium caption to something like "The Cosmos played at Giants Stadium, New Jersey, from 1977...". The way it's currently phrased, someone more familiar with football than the area might think that they shared with the New Jersey Giants.
- Fair point. Changed. – Cliftonianthe orangey bit 03:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- On that note, do the regular season positions from 1976 to 1980 signify a position in the division, or conference?
- Division. Conference comes under the play-offs. – Cliftonianthe orangey bit 03:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- For the benefit of Dabomb, this bullet point should not be taken into account when deciding whether or not to promote, because at the moment it's a hypothetical. But as something that looks very likely to affect this list when it is an FL, I think it's worth briefly discussing now. Should the Cosmos start playing in the new NASL and/or MLS, would their season details be added to this list? The way the lead is written implies that they will. It's just that MLS teams with names from the NASL era (such as Seattle Sounders FC) generally consider the teams to be distinct, so I'm curious as to whether there's something different here. —WFC— 02:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- See the talk page at the revival page. There's a long discussion on this, and it's on-going. This list, and the other Cosmos list at FLC, will be altered accordingly depending on its outcome, but at the moment there is nothing to prove that there is any new team (Put very, very briefly, the debate is as follows: on one side, as you say, the teams are seperate; on the other, Seattle Sounders FC, for example, is a different entity to the previous teams with that name, whereas the Cosmos never formally disbanded and this "new" team is simply the "first XI" becoming active again). As I say, discussions are ongoing. – Cliftonianthe orangey bit 03:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Cool. Even by Wikipedia standards, I'm sure it'll be resolved by the time it becomes an issue. Was just curious. —WFC— 05:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Will have another look tomorrow for any final bits, but can't see myself not supporting this. —WFC— 05:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
