    Good question! Are we including NL North and South in the research?

    Yes we will be.

    Sheffield, Hallam or Cray Wanderers would take the title if they got promoted enough times. Don't think there's any others still going that were formed before us that aren't a phoenix club or reformed many years later.

    We're certainly not the oldest Non-League club, that's Sheffield FC (1857)

    We've never been the worlds oldest pro footy club either, that's TSV 1860 München.

    So we need a banner on the Sirrel stand saying "The world's oldest football league club until we got relegated, but now the world's oldest professional football club apart from TSV 1860 München". Good job it's a big stand.

    TSV 1860 began as a physical fitness and gym club. The football department was formed in 1899 and first games played 3 years later.

    In other news. Anyone watching Linky V Pool. That's what you call a high press. Pool barely let them breathe in the 1st half. Linky have improved in the 2nd half tho. 2-6 at the min.
