Oh God no...... Americanising team names.....

Is there any animal less likely to be found in hull FFS.

 

[ajsccfc]

This'll be like Newcastle playing at Sport Soccer Land or whatever it was that time, nobody's going to start using it.

 

[deanocity3]

so if it's that easy to change, what stopping sisu renaming ccfc to Otium FC

 

[ccfcway]

There's hope for "Coventry 1883" yet!

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

The Hull owner said "City is irrelevant" is he singing from the Sisu hymnbook?

 

[ccfcway]

so if it's that easy to change, what stopping sisu renaming ccfc to Otium FC

It wont be that radical, but the Warwickshire Bears FC would well be on the cards !

 

[bigfatronssba]

More owners who dont understand football using the "I saved the club from administration" line to allow them to do whatever they want.

 

[JoshCCFC]

Coventry Elephants has a good ring to it

 

[Sisued]

The Otium weasels.

 

[oldskyblue58]

well right now it is Otium entertainment Group Ltd trading as CCFC....... a name change would not be that difficult just needs league approval or famous discretion.

There is nothing been said that indicates they are planning to change the name however

 

[Pete in Portugal]

Coventry Elephants has a good ring to it

You beat me to it. Better than Coventry Donkeys anyway.

 

[skybluelee]

Shocking. The only surprise is our fantastic owners didn't come up with such a ludicrous decision like this first.

 

[mark82]

This is everything that is wrong with modern football. Ridiculous.

 

[VegetableSamosa]

It wont be that radical, but the Warwickshire Bears FC would well be on the cards !

I'd imagine that is already the name of the University sports teams at Warwick. If not, they've definitely missed a trick.

 

[ajsccfc]

The Ultimate Frisbee team here (no idea) are called the Bears. Otherwise we've got the Warwick Wolves at American football and the Panthers in ice hockey.

 

[Covstu]

I suppose back in the day, you were proud of becoming a 'city' rather than being referred to as a town however i do hope we are not going all american!

 

[olderskyblue]

A change to Coventry Sky Blues wouldn't be bad though?

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

The Otium weasels.

That's hilarious

 

[VegetableSamosa]

The Ultimate Frisbee team here (no idea) are called the Bears. Otherwise we've got the Warwick Wolves at American football and the Panthers in ice hockey.

Ah. I'm at the University of Essex and our flag is 3 swords, so all of our sports teams are the Essex Blades (bit too Sheffield for my liking, but there you go). Thought somewhere like Warwick would be the same

Soccer Club Real Otium

or

SCR Otium for short ?

 

[Joy Division]

Looking forward to next years FA Cup. If teams really were the animals they pretend to be

Round 1

Wolverhampton Wolves v Leicester Foxes
Cardiff Dragons v Millwall Lions
Hull Tigers v Mansfield Stags
Brighton Seagulls v Crystal Palace Eagles
Derby Rams v Sunderland Black Cats
Norwich Canaries v Bristol City Robins
Sheffield Wednesday Owls v Newcastle Magpies
Brentford Bees v Watford Hornets

 

[Joy Division]

Results from the first round would probably go something like

Wolverhampton Wolves 3 - 0 Leicester Foxes
Cardiff Dragons 4 - 1 Millwall Lions
Hull Tigers 5 - 0 Mansfield Stags
Brighton Seagulls 1 - 3 Crystal Palace Eagles
Derby Rams 2 - 1 Sunderland Black Cats
Norwich Canaries 1 - 0 Bristol City Robins
Sheffield Wednesday Owls 2 - 1 Newcastle Magpies
Brentford Bees 1 - 2 Watford Hornets

 

[SuperCov]

I just hope this doesn't end up with all clubs becoming americanised, could you imagine all the 92 league clubs 'rebranding' themselves.

Don't get me wrong I like the brand names in the States, it works for them. Just not here. That's me though bit of a traditionalist.

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Skybloosers

 

[skybluepm2]

I wish this was all we had to worry about...I'd have our name changed to anything to get rid of Fishcake and Co and have our City back :jerkit:

 

[Joy Division]

Quarter finals

Cardiff Dragons 7 - 0 Watford Hornets
Wolverhampton Wolves 5 - 0 Sheffield Wednesday Owls
Crystal Palace Eagles 3 - 1 Derby Rams
Hull Tigers 5 - 0 Norwich Canaries

Semi Finals

Hull Tigers 3 - 2 Crystal Palace Eagles
Wolverhampton Wolves 1 - 4 Cardiff Dragons

Final

Cardiff Dragons 3 - 2 Hull Tigers

*Cardiff Dragons disqualified for being a fictional creature, therefore Hull Tigers win.

What's all the fuss about?

 

[LastGarrison]

It wouldn't surprise me if Timmy boy suggested the Coventry Kingfishers.

 

[rondog1973]

Results from the first round would probably go something like

Wolverhampton Wolves 3 - 0 Leicester Foxes
Cardiff Dragons 4 - 1 Millwall Lions
Hull Tigers 5 - 0 Mansfield Stags
Brighton Seagulls 1 - 3 Crystal Palace Eagles
Derby Rams 2 - 1 Sunderland Black Cats
Norwich Canaries 1 - 0 Bristol City Robins
Sheffield Wednesday Owls 2 - 1 Newcastle Magpies
Brentford Bees 1 - 2 Watford Hornets

Not advocating a name change obviously, but a few years back Loaded magazine had a spoof hypothetical knock out tournament where the creature on the club crest represented the club and we won!!

Beat Millwalls Lion in the final if I remember rightly..

Soccer Club Real Otium

or

SCR Otium for short ?

SCR.. like QPR... One of which has a management team that has avoided all tax liabilities for a considerable time... the other has Harry Redknapp? (allegedly)

 

[hutch1972]

so if it's that easy to change, what stopping sisu renaming ccfc to Otium FC

Back in the day our own JH tried to change our name to Coventry Talbot but was told by the FL to piss off ( That was when the authorities had rules that they adhered to )

 

[deanocity3]

alan hardaker,and bert millerchip were right arseholes too.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

Could go back to the Bantams

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

Soccer Club Real Otium

or

SCR Otium for short ?

or...

Soccer
Club
Real
OTtium
Entertainment

would certainly sum up the managing director

 

[Sky Blues]

"We have dropped the AFC as it is something which has become redundant" - Ehab Allam.

So the words Football Club are redundant... That just about sums up the modern game. So what is it, if not a football club - Hull Tigers soccer franchise?
