Crown Sports was founded and funded by a Stanley fan, David Something or other (possibly Nutter) who lived up Burnley Road way. He designed the strips and the deal was that Asda would sell them, I believe the deal fell through last minute over a few quid when David had hundreds of shirts ready to sell (2nd season). He also produced a magazine on behalf of the club
