I know where the the original question came from no matter who posed it at your meeting. The originator of this question said he was going to reseach this, huh so much for his researching. Tell him to ask his uncle or just invent another story to go with all the other guff he spouts.

Just to put your mind at rest and to stop the silly guessing the answer is no, a lot of men who served in WW1 played football or cricket for local schools or pub teams, but no Accrington Pals played for Stanley

I think in fairness the Board have listened with the ST prices with some good incentives and anything that helps in the Econimic Climate in helping fans where needed to help spread the cost is Good in my eyes

All I have is the stuff we used at the exhibition and photos from wobbly and Gregor circa 50s which is the success hayday of Accrington Stanley historically. Though the exhibition boards are secured to the wall at the clubhouse.

Yes Cashy, some one posted it on face book, and one of the responders said they would post it on here, so I answered it to stop all the silly and questionable comments that come with a question like that.
Its a question I've been asked many times over the years.
Why is it so important as to who played football or cricket with any team before WW1. Beats me.

I doubt they would be much information anyway, as it predates Accrington Stanley (1921) pre that is Stanley villa or even Accrington, so cancels out ww1 connections, with that in mind it's feasible that ww2 would further more connections, I'm sure I gave read up somewhere

As the thought springs to mind it's not far off the centenary of retaining the name Accrington Stanley (1921) only the change being the rebirth year

So short of 7 years planning ahead for that celebration

Typical, I'll probably have croaked by then.
