Accrington Stanley

No, sorry to be pedantic but they most definitely are not classed as one of the original twelve. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accrington_Stanley_F.C._(1891)

Well when this season kicked off our first match was at Newport County. It was proceeded by a presentation also afforded to all the other original twelve members! We also played Everton in a pre season friendly which was billed as the first meeting since 1889 between these two original members. We also have words to the affect of "One of the original members of the Football League" printed on our shirts for this season. Surely if the FA and the FL thought Stanley to be just another johnny come lately club like Liverpool for example,they wouldn't have allowed the pre match presentation,or the words on the shirt!

You\re clutching at straws there. The FA and FL are prone to making the most colossal mistakes and even small ones occur, as is pointed out in your post there. There wasn't enough space on the shirt to go on to say '...was local club Accrington.' but try not to get too narked about it.

And as Mark Twain famously said; 'it's easier to fool people that to convince them they've been fooled' or words to that effect.

You're not going to let it drop are you? I'll just have to accept that you're one of those who has to have the last word.

Yep

The way we've been playing recently it isn't a surprise. I think we were lucky to finish with a draw against you.

Our next match against each other is the last match of the season. I just hope it's not a relegation decider (for either of us).

Let's hope so!
