	Stoke City and Accrington Stanley were not founder members of the Football League. These clubs are newer versions of previous clubs Stoke, and Accrington. I believe both clubs eventually left the league to be replaced by their modern day counterparts (much like Halifax Town going out of business and FC Halifax Town being formed).

	Thats is why i said 'when the club was FIRST founded'

	That still doesn't make sense. Accrington were founder members of the league in 1888 and went defunct in 1893. Accrington Stanley were a completely different club formed in 1891 who joined the league in 1921. There is no sense in which Stanley were founder members of the league, and it is clearly impossible for a club formed in 1891 to have been founder members of anything in 1888.

	Interesting how localised it was -- six from the Midlands, six from Lancashire. No teams from Yorkshire, the north-east, London or anywhere in the south. To this day, the Midlands and the North East are still massively over-represented (in relation to population) in the football league compared to the rest of England.
