Why?

Any suggestions for Brentford FC's new name?

only joking! i could never see the Bees as anything else.

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

I wonder how many away fans planning to see their team play at Ebbsfleet wil have the initial response of "where the **** is that?"

 

[Stanley]

The name is crap like most of the Thames Estuary towns.

Fancy naming your club after a Regeneration zone or worse a Eurostar station!!

I guess if we move to Lionel Road we could become Kew Bridge Rovers....just as fecking stupid.

 

[Nick Hester]

Shame on the club really - another tradition just 'tossed' aside...

People will look back in years to come and wish tradition was still part of these clubs when everyone and everything else has deserted them...

 

[Jimbee]

Better being named after one place than two.

..............or maybe Gunnersbury Park Rangers, perhaps......................

saw the story on the bbc earlier
with the unlikely assertion that gravesend fans are agreeable!

these things should be sacrocanct but if decades of heritage
must be desecrated the club should in my opinion
be returned to park football

I bet there was zero consultation with the supporters.

 

[Jimbee]

I assume that Gravesend and Northfleet were 2 different clubs once upon a time.

 

[WisBee]

.................probably, but that would have been before 'tradition' had been invented, I guess..............

 

[LIONHEART]

where the frak is ebbsfleet,even i dont know and gravesend is my nearest club.

:yes:

Merged just after the WWII ended.

 

[SpiderBee]

I see Aston Villa have re-branded their club badge.
Watch out for a possible merger of Fisher Athletic and Dulwich Hamlet (one of the most famous names in footy history)!

I like the idea of

Fishamwich

thoughrofl

Our football traditions are being taken away!

Whatever happened to Hampton FC?

 

[TW3Bee]

Whatever happened to Hampton FC?

They changed their name to Hampton & Richmond Borough a few years back.

It was done to try and garner more interest from the local Borough.

Didn't work at first but hopefully now they have been promoted to The Conference South more people will be interested.

Watched that on BBC South East Today. Must be an utter nutter. lol

On the theme of the rest of the thread, Ebbsfleet were toying with going back to their old name a few months back: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/9461373.stm

MyFootballClub have decided to relinquish their shareholding in Ebbsfleet United. The website, which has a 75% stake in the club, have voted to hand two-thirds of their shares to the Fleet Trust, the club's supporters' trust.
