In Liverpool they are searching for the stadium, 30,000 that used to be the home of Liverpool Caledonians FC...

I wonder how many other sides have come and gone, and the history is totally lost.... This appeared to be a side of some stature too

Thanks for the post @PTID1862.I love reading about football history.I hope to hear more on this.

Interesting stuff. Lots of clubs founded back then simply fell by the wayside, a number after failing to get into the League or after relegation out of it.

 

I'm quite interested in the early days of football, and in particular in Notts Rangers. This was one of many Nottingham teams in the Victorian era, but they also played on the site of Meadow Lane some years before we did.

Don't know about that, ask one of the older members of the board

You learn something new every day, I read this a few days a go but didn't know what to say.

@liampie I don't believe they did, I think we moved straight from the Park to Meadow Lane. I don't recall ever reading that we played elsewhere apart from the cricket ground, could you just see us there and them wanting us off like we did the rugby club?

@DangerousSausage i thought i did!     

@notts-joe that might be where i was going wrong then.
