Kev, if you're going to copy articles from the official site, at least try to copy them correctly! Your piece on "Why Stanley?" is obviously lifted from the item of the same name on the official site. However, you've still managed to mess it up by missing out a chunk in the middle! Accrington FC did not resign halfway through the season because of financial difficulties. They resigned at the end of the 1892-93 season because they had been relegated to the newly-formed second division and did not want to compete in this section. You also blithely ignore the fact that Stanley were a league club for 41 years and they were the ones who resigned midday way through the season because of finance.

May I suggest that if you want to put some historical items on your site, you do some research by reading Phil Whalley's excellent book and writing your own stuff, instead of carelessly cribbing items from the the official site.
