but of those that said 1.... how many will refuse to have anything to do with them after the name change?
Then they won't be missed cos I am sure others will come in and start to support the club, yes they will be fickle glory hunters at first, but everyone has to start somewhere. ...now it is them holding the club to ransom, "if we don't go, the club will go under." believe me mate.............. you lot that voted 1 wont exactly leave an unfillable void
it is survival of the fittest... Darwin's evolution at work. If you don't evolve and move with the times, you get left behind and eventually die off.
I'd just like to point out that the first sentences in this thread read Wycombe Tiger I apologise for not posting this in the name change thread but it would go to the back of 60+ pages and just get lost. I think many of us would like to know what the consensus of opinion of fellow 606's is regarding the name change. You can base a poll of one small section on the responses received from that same small section. I don't think anyone has claimed that any of the polls are definitive,just indicative of the general feeling on the subject,and the only person that could allow a vote to be organised that is close to an acceptable quorum(a vote of pass holders/attendees of a home game) seems to want to avoid that option at all costs some reason. As an aside,some people have claimed that the silent majority(?) are accepting of the name change but you may have noticed that the one late vote was a 1 which is a good example of why those who are not organised enough or just don't give a toss about voting can't be accepted/inferred to have an opinion either way.
Darwins' evolution is full of bizzare mutations that disappear into dead ends.Change and progress are not necessarily the same thing.
that is true................ however I don't see how you can apply that logic to this case of changing the name - cos people will always support the club. The old "stigs in the mud" will get replaced by newer "glory hunters" that will eventually stick by the club. like I said, it wont even be noticed that they aren't there.
There's also the additional input of natural selection. In the wild, the predators will pick out the weakest in the herd as it should be easier to catch, thus saving energy. As a consequence, it's the fitter or brighter creatures that survive to spread their genes. In humans, the same thing happens. As we drink alcohol, it kills brain cells. Obviously it will destroy the weakest first leaving the strongest, and that explains why we make our most profound thoughts and observations when we're drunk.
Apart from the when "big" teams turn up the KC isn't selling out at the moment.Good crowds admittedly,but not always selling all they could.This is in the highest league in the land,if the glory hunters aren't there yet then they may be a while turning up.Until City are regularly beating top eight teams and getting european exposure most plastics will carry on supporting Man U,Liverpool,Chelsea etc.This scenario could be many years away,if ever,and with the current debt levels the club would struggle should we fail to get significant investment or get relegated.Glory hunters tend not to follow championship teams either. If the re-brand fails to achieve anything(which happens with a lot of re-brands) there's a good chance there will be no club,City or Tigers,to support anyway.The fine business acumen of our glorious leader has put City in a position where it has to remain in the premier league or it will most likely go to the wall.A situation not unlike pre-meltdown Portsmouth.On the plus side Portsmouth do still exist so there's always hope.
I've always thought that it was just the shutdown sequence that gave us the sharper observations when drunk.Less clutter buzzing around as you contemplate things.Up to a point of course.Once you've lost the use of your legs it's unlikely that you'll be coming up with a new Plato's Republic.
by changing the name, I guess that is what he is trying to prevent. and before any of you ****s ask for a link.. here you go http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25749335
I think you misunderstand Darwin's theory. Simply not true. The reverse is true in fact. The novelty would wear off.
