I've always been in the 1878 camp btw . Lower F5

My wife keeps telling me that I am still young, BECAUSE She is a few years older than me.

The club has logos around the club or on books etc that say 1878 , then sell a t shirt in the club shop with 1879 on . Even if the club , or a business for that matter slightly changes it's name , it still sticks with the original date it was established ? I WANT AND NEED SOME CLARITY ! Lower F5
