With one or possibly two games at Wembley, the games will be shown all over the world. No one in their right mind would then change the name of the brand just after it's gone global. ....would they?
This from a poster who intentionally misidentified the club as HCFC until the name actually became an issue? And who has changed his own username at least once? That's rich. Get ****ed, hypocrite.
I think it's the Premier League rather than the FA that insist on fan consultation, which could mean the FA could approve it, but the Premier League refuse it.
If the FA approved it and the Premier League refused it we could always drop down rake in the untold millions the name change is guaranteed to bring us and be nailed on to go back up and compete with all the short sighted clubs which hadn't been so clever as to ditch their names. Couldn't we? All the pro name change lot would go along with that. Or maybe not, their only support is not for the team, whatever name it is, but for being in the Premier League.
I did express my feelings of pleasure and excitement on the club's victory today... in another thread (I even wore my Hull City AFC scarf for good luck while watching the match on an online stream). Similarly, I have expressed my feelings on the subject at hand in this thread. It's not my fault if the irony of the name-change stramash escapes those who argue against it yet hide behind pseudonyms (other than the possible exception of "petersaxton"). Nonetheless, a celebratory beer has already been drained, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming semifinal with Sheffield United at Wembley in mid-April. UTT!
It's ironic that people who are against the name change 'hide behind pseudonyms'? Can I have some of what you're taking?
He could say he has consulted with the fans - he has told them what he is going to do and listened to their arguments. There is nothing in the rules saying he has to take any notice of them.
Oh, you've been waiting quite a while to spit the "here endeth the lesson" line back at me, haven't you, Erik? It's good to know that WUMs can be wound up as well
I would think you have plenty of your own homemade supply, eh "Heisenberg" (which I'm sure is your real name)?
wow, you're some kind of idiot! time of the month, is it? did you ever consider the question itself? seriously, who in their right mind would change the name under such circumstances?
Many clubs in the FA have changed their name over the years, although not under quite the same circumstances. Everyone calls the Wolverhampton Wanderers "Wolves" even though that's not their actual name. My point is the name-change debate is silly and divisive. "Defending tradition" is a crutch and nothing more. The only thing that matters is the club's play on the pitch... all else is distraction. I repeat: UTT!
Do as I've done and get yourself a big bag of pistachios and a few bottles of Theakston's Old Peculier. It's the perfect way to relax after a blood-pressure-busting FA Cup quarter-final win Here beginneth a long and sordid bromance.
Where to begin. Firstly, you must have had a lot of issues after your parents put 'Roary Glory' on your birth certificate. Unless...no...someone surely wouldn't have a made up name on a message board? I only ever have my full name, address and bank details.
