Congratulations on a completely irrelevant post. I can understand your jealousy though.
We're the same team we've always been - from our original conception in 1875, until today in 2009. Where as your team tries to pretend it's a founder member of the league when it isn't. Another lovely little fact - Blackburn Rovers FC are the most successful team that hails from a town. The same Blackburn Rovers formed in 1875 that played at Oozehead and Lemmington Spa, prior to their home now at Ewood Park.
Correct me if I am wrong but the 12 founder memebers of the league were:
Accrington F.C.
Aston Villa F.C.
Blackburn Rovers F.C.
Bolton Wanderers F.C.
Burnley F.C.
Derby County F.C.
Everton F.C.
Notts County F.C.
Preston North End F.C.
Stoke City F.C.
West Bromwich Albion F.C.
Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.
Now, I don't see any Accrington Stanley there. But, hey, I'm being pedantic...
