Oldest stadium in the PL

[Roque Santa Cruz]

Which club in the Premier League has the oldest stadium? I like all the new ones, but nothing beats the atmosphere of authentic English football grounds.

Of the current Premier League clubs I think it is Chelsea (though with renovations) which doesn't lend much weight to the older=better atmosphere theory.

I would say in the Premier League it's Turf Moor. Burnley plays there since the 1880's (ok renovated but it's still at the same location)

I was going to guess selhurst park, but that was the 1920's.

I think the away stand seats may still be original.

Chelsea's ground dates back to the 1870's

That's right but it was back then an athletics stadium. First time that professional football was played there was in 1905 when the new founded Chelsea F.C moved into it.

edit: OK, I read the starting post again and the TO only asked for the "oldest stadium" and not the oldest football stadium. So Turf Moor is not the oldest stadium in the Premier League but the oldest football stadium. Only Preston North End plays longer in their stadium than Burnley, since the 1870's they play at Deepdale, but they aren't actually in the PL (Bit of a stadium history geek (me ) )

Thank you all for your replies!

The Championship is more interesting if you like authentic stadiums, I assume.

The shitter the football, the higher authenticity. In every aspect.
