I don't buy this idea that RL clubs had no history before 29th August 1895. |

Do you mean GatesHull? If they merged does that mean that when they dumped on Gateshead they technically became a new club? |

Indeed. Even says in huge letters at Notts County that they're the "World's oldest Football League club", but Sky Sports News missed out those two vital words. |

Lots of clubs have changed status over the years. Almost all of them started as members' clubs and became limited companies later.
I believe that a club is defined by its supporters, not its legal status. |

Oldest club is Huddersfield 1864, so wikipedia says. Hull FC are 2nd at 1865. Yes some of the founder members dont exist anymore, or are amateur as in Brighouse Rangers.

all clubs played Union until the breakaway., so all founder clubs are the same age.
Leigh were of course the first club to be suspended by the RU for paying broken time payments which you could argue means we were the first professional club - or was it the first to be caught out. the argument could go on and on.

| From wikipedia
Quote On the 21st November 1872 a sporting legacy was born. Wigan Football Club was founded by members of Wigan Cricket Club following a meeting at the Royal Hotel, Standishgate, Wigan. Wigan F.C. played on Folly Field, near Upper Dicconson Street.
The first match took place on 30 November when members played against each other at Folly Field. After a series of trial and practice matches, they travelled to Warrington to play their first competitive match on 18 January 1873. The game ended in a draw.
Financial problems and an inability to recruit quality players led to the club amalgamating with Upholland F.C. in 1876. The club became Wigan & District F.C. The club moved and played its home games at the then Wigan Cricket Club at Prescott Street just off of Frog Lane. It is unlikely that the club fulfilled its fixtures in 1877 before finally disbanding at the end of the 1879 cricket season.'"
They're merely young upstarts
Quote Until 1886, the Wigan team played in blue and white hooped jerseys before changing the colours to cherry and white hoops.'" |

They're merely young upstarts and borrowed a set of Cherry and White hooped shirts from their kind neighbours Leigh RLFC. Despite repeated requests the shirts were never returned.
