Re: shirt colours
Stanley were founder members so they didn't adopt anything.The adopting was done by Man United etc.
And it seemed a good idea at the time.

Re: shirt colours
Re-formed....
Only pedantics pick up on this most boring of facts... Each club has been a professional League club playing on behalf of the town of Accrington. Different legal entities, different boards, different directors & owners, different forms with the League etc etc Our history is a proud one, for all three flavours of ACCRINGTON!!!! |

Re: shirt colours
Or people could point to that club is living on other people's glories.

Re: shirt colours
past glories?
I like the idea that we have only been playing competitve football for 39 years (from the park leagues) and have already got this far! I wonder what is the quickest that a club has gone from the bottom league to the FL? And I wouldn't count Aldershot in that as they inherited a fanbase of 4000 with which to buy the earlier leagues

Re: shirt colours
Posted via Mobile Device Saying that Stanley were founder members of the football league.
Nothing pedantic about saying they weren't, 'cos in all honesty Stanley did not form the league. They are two different teams, with their own honours and achivements. |

Re: shirt colours
Without Jack Walkers Millions, Accy 1968 would probably have a local derby a lot closer than Morecambe, Bury or Dale............
