The 2010-11 season was [WIKI="Brighton and Hove Albion FC"]Brighton's[/WIKI] fifth consecutive season in League One. With a young charismatic manager in [WIKI]Gus Poyet[/WIKI] and an ambitious chairman in [WIKI]Tony Bloom[/WIKI], Brighton's final season at their temporary home [WIKI]Withdean Stadium[/WIKI] was one of the most successful in the club's history. They moved to the top of League One in September and maintained their position throughout the rest of the season, clinching the title with four games to spare. They also reached the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1986.

I really like the seasonal reviews that appear on Wikipedia, such as - this one; I think they are a great way to show a lot of info, while providing links to other articles and external pages if the reader wants more detail. I've created this article to give an idea of what I'd like to see in our wiki as a seasonal review. I've pretty much just added headers so far. I'll work on adding more detail as I get chance; I'd also like to create more templates so that we can use them over again, without having to create tables from scratch every time.

good idea, was thinking of something similar whilst cutting out old references in old Wiki articles but wasn't sure how to set it up.
