I’ve always wondered why we go with the ‘World’s Oldest Football League Club’ tag. What exactly does it mean?
The ‘World’s Oldest Professional Football Club’ makes more sense and is a tag we’d keep even if relegated, I would think.

Because we aren't the oldest professional football club, that's Sheffield FC's moniker.Originally Posted by 60YearsAPie
We're the oldest Football League club which will likely be passed to Stoke and then Nottingham Forest.

Add this:
"English club Notts County, which has existed informally from 1862, is the world's oldest fully professional association football club".

Please stop masquerading as a teacher, Gumpster. I'm the only teacher round here apart from Primary Pie who seems to have done one.

That's my preferred label too. This 'Oldest League Club' is a bit weird isn't it? Does anyone know why we use it instead of the former - is there an older pro club?

I suppose it's the case that being a football league club is in itself a matter of pride, even more so if you're the oldest of those league clubs. That said, I don't think it's ever been quite the lure to genuine big money investors (worldwide) that some think it is.

No, that's why we're called the oldest league club in the world.
Not many people know this, but at one time we were called 'Notts Coui', pronounced Cowee. I have proof!!!
Now we're called 'Notts Cowards'.
