Hi, I don't have memories of AS but my husband does and is delighted they are back in the league. He is quite convinced they started the league or were founder members and was aghast when I told him it was the Owd Reds! Hows is that from a mere woman! (Actually I read it on the AS website).

I don't have memories but I may be (am) related to the first Secretary the club ever had i.e. Henry Cronshaw! My mother was a Cronshaw (there are a lot it Accy I know) who lived in Plantation Mill Cottages in 1881. I wondered if anyone had a piccy of him or anecdotes. I know you are all too young to remember him but maybe, just maybe your Grandads, Gt. Grandads etc may have spoken to you about him.

Good luck with todays match wherever it is and for the future. Stanley for the cup!!!!
