Michael Booth 7,364 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Nottingham Forest FC is now the oldest football league club after Notts County FC's relegation. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,218 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 There were/are some claims that it was Stoke City but these have been refuted. Imagine that, Nottingham had the two oldest league teams last year and I hope it will next year. It certainly kills off the old trivia question, "which to EFL club grounds are the closest?" Apparently it is now Liverpool and Everton whose grounds are 1400 yards apart In Scotland it is Dundee and Dundee United whose grounds are only 350 yards apart? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 I think it irritates him, and gets on his nerves Michael. It grates with him, being a Magpie fan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Is Notts County the oldest professional football team? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Not now Den, since they were relegated from League 2 at the end of last season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 They will still be a ‘professional’ football team though. That bunch will still get paid to play football. Hope they play like professionals next season and get back up to Div 2. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 People will have different views regarding Notts County FC, mainly through the football (maybe if they'd signed my eldest son when he was a young lad things would have been different, haha. He went with them for a tournament in Holland) but there's a lot more to NCFC than that. When my wife was recovering from breast cancer she received tremendous help from Macmillan Cancer Support and Notts County's 'Football In The Community' which I've attached below. I'm sure that most people are unaware of this and I just hope the new owners of Notts County FC will carry this on. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/community/ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deepdene Boy 642 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 It was of course a typo, should read "That grates..." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
