Re: Football Clubs

I thought that you were referring to the oldest club which is still in existence, rather than historically..

I still think it'd be Sheffield FC, to be honest George as they are in continual existance as far as I know, but "leauge-wise" since Notts Co's Relegation I have read that Stoke and Nottingham Forest are not disputing the honour. Chesterfield would have been very close too - but as they got Relegated and now share a Division with Notts Co - that eliminates them!

Re: Football Clubs

Which is the oldest football club in the world

Have a guess but you can cheat if you google lol

I was surprise

Sheffield FC (it's neither connected Wednesday or Utd in any way) but they are the oldest in the World I believe - though not the oldest in the Leauge as they have never been in it at any point

The 2nd oldest could also be their close City Rivals Hallam I think I have read too

Re: Football Clubs

Notts County is Britain's oldest I think (founded circa 1862), but I think that the world's oldest football club was founded prior to that.

[QUOTE=George 1978;239923]I have heard of Royal Arsenal but I have never really heard of the name Arsenal being used as a place name in the same sense as Chelsea or Tottenham is.

Queen of the South is not a place name either - the club's name just refers to "the south".

Port Vale does sound like a place.[/QUOTE

You might mean Woolwich Arsenal

Re: Football Clubs

Well Done Richard I was once told that there was no place actually called Port Vale.

Arsenal= London N5

Re: Football Clubs

Port Vale might be a good candidate, though they used to have Burslam at the front of the name so you knew where in Stoke they played.

Re: Football Clubs

Liverpool and Everton are about one mile apart

I was once told that there is a football club playing in the English league that play under a name but no such place ?

There is a Scottish team whose ground is called Anfield but I can't recall which one at the mo...
