    I was always under the impression that Mansfield Town, Sheffield United, Burnley and Preston were the top 4.

    Grief, don't ruin it for us. Flick Beevers was in his prime in those days. Even @Stephen Dawson could not make up such a name.

    Burnley have definitely played at their home ground far longer than we have and Wrexham haven't always played at the racecourse either so not sure where the original list came from

    Field Mill is the oldest football league ground but Mansfield only started playing there in 1919.

    Wrexham F C

    Their first game was played on 22 October 1864 at the Denbighshire County Cricket Ground (The Racecourse) against the Prince of Wales Fire Brigade.[8]

    Yes but they left and got a new ground before going back to the racecourse a few years later.
