There is an error in your first paragraph. You've stated that Anfield and Stamford Bridge were contructed before Bramall Lane. Although Sheffield United were formed in 1889, the stadium was there many years before the football club. Bramall Lane is offically the oldest proper sports stadium in the world as it was contructed in 1855. Cricket was played there during the 1850's and the first football match was played at Bramall Lane in 1862.(before the FA was formed).
I would like to add that Ewood park was not built in 1890, as stated in this article. The Ewood Park grounds were built in 1882 as a multi sports venues and operated successfully as such for eight years before Blackburn Rovers made the stadium their home. This fact is correctly stated in the Blackburn Rovers article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.22.20 (talk) 16:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
