And for a short time, there were 2 teams named Wimbledon playing at the same time, till the former Wimbledon changed to MK Dons
Trying to think of similar examples and I suppose the most obvious one is Wimbledon or Darlington.
They ain't the same club in the sense that Newcastle or Sunderland are, but represent the people of Wimbledon or Darlington.
Reckon you could compare it loosely to some bands. Totally different, in all but name.
Darlington, is aslo, amongst fans is a thorny issue, we could not agree a CVA to come out of admin, the old chairman would not give the golden share back, no golden share, no play football basically, and that is why Darlington are seen as a new club...
A good example at the moment would probably be Scarborough Athletic or Spennymoor Town, I dont think Scarborough claim the old clubs honours and Spennymoors history lies in Evenwood and dont hold onto Spenny Utd history as far as I am aware
Two recent examples also get me thinking(1 not so recent though), The Smoggies in 1986 and Leeds in 2007
