Comment - Saying the team was playing non-league is a little simplistic given that the Southern League was probably on a similar footing to the Football League at the time. This discussion would hinge on whether the Southern League was fully professional, which has been a matter of debate for some time. Only recently
George Edwards' AfD was closed as no consensus over the same issue on the idea that further discussion would clear the matter up. No discussion has been forthcoming I believe, so this is likely to go the same way unless a consensus on the professional status of the league is established.

While there was discussion over the issue, I'm not seeing where a consensus was established that the SFL was fully professional. The Edwards AfD was inconclusive and the Hargreaves AfD simply points to the other?
