They weren't Mansfield Town until 1910.

The answer seems to be Saffron Walden, who added "Town" sometime between their formation in 1872 and their first entry into the FA Cup in 1877.

Then again it could just be Wiki listing them under their current name in error, I can't find out conclusively when they adopted "Town".

If it's not them, it's probably Grimsby, who became "Town" in 1879, one year after their formation.

I must say that I'd love to go out for a drink with you lot. First we could scour the room looking for people who shorten the name of their football team in an imprecise way, give them a good telling off, and then round off the evening with an educational quest to find out the first team to have Town in their name! Where do I sign up? *winking gent*

Angry because he can't think of an older team called "Town".

Exactly! Some sausage-eating prick might be saying 'Celtic', completely ignoring Stalybridge, the meat-chomping, IRA-loving, Champions League scum. Shoe him!
