I thought Bramall lane was the oldest football ground in the world, not Deepdale - and Notts County the oldest football club?  Not sure why I thought this - probably told it by the ‘all-knowing’ man in the pub at some point !!

Nice to see a full squad available for Nige to pick from - looking forward to this fixture very much!

That opens a can of worms, as it depends on your criteria. It seems - and I’ve only just looked this up - that both honours belong to amateur clubs in Sheffield. Sheffield FC are the oldest club and Hallam FCs Sandygate is the oldest ground*. Of course you may only want to count current league clubs, current professional clubs …

*Or it could be Wrexham’s Racecourse ground which dates back to 1807 but wasn’t originally used for football. Nor was Bramall Lane of course.

For any reds looking for a good pub, get yourselves down to the Black Horse in the city centre - one of the best pubs in the country.

Certainly sounds tops: Listed ornate Victorian pub in pedestrianised street; splendid mosaic-tiled main bar serving eight well kept ales (Robinsons and guests), friendly helpful staff, panelling, stained glass and old local photographs, open fires, two quiet cosy snugs, mirrored back area and upstairs function room; open all day from 10.30am (noon Sun).

In other news…Semenyo maybe surprisingly starts at Bournemouth.

Hope he does well. Always keep an eye on our former players regardless, but with Antoine in particular it’ll be interesting to see how he gets on a level up. 
 

Good to see us unchanged. Looking forward to the new additions getting minutes today

All these arguments are academic, as everyone knows that football only began with the start of the Premier League :grr:
