thats the point Mark, I was always under the impression that Accrington and Stanley Villa merged, therefore a continuation of the same club (or a defuncting and rebirthing by the same people a la 68) - BUT Accrington were still playing when Accrington Stanley had already been formed following the merger of Stanley Villa and several other Accrington teams
