ACCRINGTON Stanley sealed an historic promotion to League One, exactly 130 years on from the day the club in its original form became founder members of the Football League.

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Accrington Stanley, a club who have been the butt of a dairy-themed joke for three decades, have celebrated promotion from League Two by stocking their fridge with commemorative pints of milk.

A local supermarket has produced a new logo for their bottles to mark their rise to the third tier.

While it ranks very much as a champagne sort of moment, having milk at the ready is fitting for a club who are famously associated with the drink thanks to an advertisement aired in the 1980s.

They were a decent side sometimes. Currntly in the same div as Stocport County.

Non league is littered with former long time members of the FL who have fallen on hard times, some having gone out of business altogether and been re-founded

Stockport County

York City

Darlington

Chester

Leyton Orient

Hartlepool United

Hereford

Torquay United

Halifax

etc etc

I see Torquay have been relegated from the conference and there are property developers circling like vultures with the hope of getting their hands on Plainmoor

And Rushden and Diamonds who went bust in mid 2011, just got promoted to tier 7 and also Boston and Kidderminster(Kidderminster could get promoted this season).

Stocport missed their promotion playoff chance, losing 1-0. But they drew a crowd of over 6,000 at their ground.
