==Formation== {{unreferenced section|date = April 2024}} The Bell was one of just two WFL teams that maintained the same ownership in both 1974 and 1975 (the other being Canadian millionaire John Bassett's [[Memphis Southmen]]). The group was headed by [[John B. Kelly Jr.]], a respected business and sportsman in Philadelphia and part of the well-known Kelly family, which included his sister [[Grace Kelly]], movie star-turned-Princess of [[Monaco]]. The major money contributor behind the ownership group was John Bosacco, who came forward during the first season and took over the operations of the franchise. Bosacco believed that the WFL could survive and was instrumental in the removal of [[Gary Davidson]] as commissioner following the 1974 season.
