The Football League is an English competition, so claiming to be the "World's Oldest Football League Club" is like claiming to be the "World's Tallest Englishman" - it just doesn't make sense.
I've never understood why we don't brand ourselves the "World's Oldest Professional Football Club", which really is an honour. Even "Oldest Football League Club" would make more sense than "World's Oldest Football League Club" (for the next four months at least).
