It may wee wee Chesterfield off. It's our rightful title by the looks of it. We should celebrate and trade on our history more.

Two birds one stone!

See page 144 of my Sheffield Wednesday Miscellany book - we ARE the third oldest professional club.

Research has proven that both Stoke and Chessie are younger so we are third behind the two Nottingham clubs. The problem is changing records as I have twice written to Rothmas/Sky Sports Yearbook to point out Kovacevic is our record sale @ £4.6m and both formation dates are wrong for Stoke and Chessie but they refuse to budge with regard to changes......

We're the third oldest league club - older than Stoke and Chesterfield

Hallam Cricket Club were formed in 1804

I've only check this on wikipedia but Stoke, formaly the ramblers, formed in 1863.

EDIT

Ooops, Just read your reply.

On that basis...

Sheffield Wednesday, formerly The Wednesday Club, formed in 1820.
