    It can't be just Luton Town!

    This question came up in a pub quiz a few years ago and when it was was queried we were assured that Notts County were not signatories of the original founding members agreement. I am unable to verify this.
    Perhaps someone could verify this?

    There's 2 seperate questions at the minute. One was general English premier League and one was the founding members one. Think they've cross overed!

    The catch is the word dice , used as both singular or plural
    at first glance it appears as a single dice to most people.

    Bingo. People hear 'dice', which is plural, and think singular. The singular word is "die", but plenty of people have never heard that.

    Throwing the word "standard" in after "pair" also puts people off.

    Your quoted question doesn't even say anything about "founding members"
    Name the two English premier league clubs which have never played in the English premier league

    Clearly THIS question (which is the one I replied to) doesn't have anything about founding members in it. If there's ANOTHER question fine, but that's not the question I replied to. I replied to the question you quoted, and then said my reply isint for that question, yet you quoted the question that I replied to.....

    I hadn't heard of the singular for dice before. Would it explain the expression, "The die is cast?"

    i assume that's more a reference to die casting, i.e. a type of metal casting.

    No it's as in die or dice. Cast as in throwing. Said by caesar as he crossed the Rubicon river - an act which committed him irretrievably to civil war.
    'Crossing the Rubicon' is also an expression for committing yourself to something.

    the border between gaul and italy proper. it is a river. Caesar crossed the rubicon thus declaring war on rome as roman governors were forbidden from marching their troops into italy.

    I see we still don't have a definitive answer for the difference between Tr and tr.

    I know nothing about music, so I'm just going to say.....the capital T.

    It’s Northwest to Southeast, so West to East I guess…the exact opposite of what you’d expect basically.
