NEXT AIM
The same 12 clubs played in the league in 1889-90 and Stoke came last again, so Stoke disappeared for a year. Sunderland took their place in 1890-1 and the Baggies (WBA) came bottom. The following year the league the league was increased in number to 14, allowing Stoke back in and Darwen joined them. By the end of 1891-2, Darwen were "root" and Stoke just above. Sunderland won the league beating the Invincibles of Preston who had dominated football in the early three seasons. So it looks like my journey will have to start with the Black Cats and Darwen next season.
