The oldest ground currently in the league?

[BLUETIT]

Bramall Lane built in 1855, Field Mill built in 1861 according to most sources. Cricket grounds originally, Hallam FC in Sheffield hosted the first the first competitive game apparently in 1860, Field Mill in 1861(Not Mansfield Town though, they didn’t exist until the twentieth century) & Bramall Lane in 1862. But doesn’t alter the fact that Bramall Lane existed 6 years before Field Mill.
Field Mill also hosted the first competitive game under lights in 1930 (although there’d been experiments in the 19th century) and the first game with a fluorescent yellow ball in 1998.
Goodison Park was the first purpose made football ground built in 1892 when Everton left Anfield.

Steve, you know the rules on here, don’t let the facts get in the way of the truth.

Bored this morning Tony. Up early as usual for work but day off, Michael O’Leary’s Dad’s funeral at midday. I love a bit of football history and that filled half hour
