Aintree / Haydock

[edit]

One is listed as Merseyside and the other as Lancashire. As both fall within the so-called 'metropolitan county' of Merseyside area either list both as being within Merseyside or both as within Lancashire. The present list is not consistent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.15.94 (talk) 23:44, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Founding date

[edit]

Some anonymous editor has reverted my change to the club's history, for which I provided two solid references. If some anonymous editor thinks those references are incorrect, some anonymous editor is welcome to provide better ones, but not to simply revert the change as if it were vandalism.
