[Humour] Are they not CPFC 2010 Anymore?

[Stato]

And if they have existed since 1861, will they now be reimbursing any creditors that have been shafted along the way?

(During these troubled times it's important to remember what football means to us: A regular opportunity to be petty, childish, disingenuous,spiteful and massively partisan)

 

[beorhthelm]

the claim would be tenuous anyway, as according to the article, they took a couple of decades away from the game.

Sheffield FC and Hallam FC are the oldest clubs.

The rivalry still exists although Sheffield FC currently play their home games in Dronfield.

The Hallam ground is still on the same site though, where the first match was played. Oldest ground in world football and an even older cricket ground.

The rivalry extends as these days the Sheffield Collegiate CC (Michael Vaughn, Joe Root, umpire Richard Kettleborough - watch out for his son btw) vs Hallam CC (nobody ever) feud continues.

It's a shame that Wednesday (LOL) are so shit and wanky because Sheffield is a superb city for sport.

Palace, on the other hand, are just a shit stain on the y fronts of world sport, and Parish can **** off.

How can you be the oldest professional club when for 30 years of your 'history' you were amateur? They'll do anything to make themselves relevent

And a couple of decades not being a football club at all?

Indeed.

Are they actually considered a football club by most people now?

I hope their 10th birthday party wasn't cancelled because of social distancing. Well done them.

Glaziers always a pain

Fair play to them up the road. They must be looking forward to celebrating, in 2021, a world record 160 years without a major trophy.

Currently, even the 1905 date makes them the youngest club in the Premier league, without mentioning the 2010 Phoenix rebirth.

Crystal Palace aren't a day over 10 ... and they need to be reminded of this if any ever make this oldest club claim

Correct. And should have been forced to seek re-election as they are not the same club. To me almost as bad as MKDons.

Here is a mildly arresting film supporting their claim.

However, they answer the question themselves. They formed as a professional club in 1905.

And again, several times, since then...
