What identity, a club owned by a foreign hedge fund, no stadium, a council and a former London Rugby club which has forced us out of the City, we have no identity!
We may as well pack it all in, ffs whats the point of Coventry City, Sky Blues etc. then?What identity, a club owned by a foreign hedge fund, no stadium, a council and a former London Rugby club which has forced us out of the City, we have no identity!
I think a lot of fans have, imagine a team called Coventry City playing in BirminghamWe may as well pack it all in, ffs whats the point of Coventry City, Sky Blues etc. then?
So you wouldn't be happy with owners like Leicesters, Wolves and Sheff Utds ?

#SHFWFMay as well sign up with kalns and the Phoenix club crackpots
None of those owners have changed their names or the colours they play in.
There's no comparison.
The traditional supporters tried to resist the radical changes and formed their own movement in order to regain some of the tradition. Several fan-clubs throughout Europe voiced their support in what they saw as a fight against the growing commercialisation of football. However, after five months of protests and talks between the club owners and traditional fans, no compromise was reached. On 15 September 2005, the "violet" supporters stated that the talks had irreversibly broken down and efforts to reach an agreement would be terminated.
This gave rise to two separate fan groups: the "Red-Whites", who support "Red Bull Salzburg" and the "Violet-Whites", who want to preserve the 72-year-old tradition and refuse to support the rebranded club. The Violet-Whites ultimately formed a new club, Austria Salzburg after viewing Red Bull's offer to maintain the original colours only for the goalkeeper's socks at away games as an insult.
We’ve changed our name, and our colours, and at least tried to change our badge at one point I’m aware of.
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t want to change it for Red Bull or similar, but the club identity isn’t preserved in aspic.
The first two didn't happen on my watch.
The attempted badge change did and I was one of the people that kicked off about it.
Fuckaduck backoff ladz. This is as likely to happen as a funny covkidsneverquit gif
Tampax Talk might attract a completely different kind of poster.Even Tampax FC would do.
I think it's sanitary towels that give you wings, sanitary towels fc it is thenTampax Talk might attract a completely different kind of poster.
I'm in...
But the point is the stuff you’re defending was at one point something someone like you would’ve opposed. Who can argue with the Sky Blues change now? If it would improve the club and had solid reasoning I’d be behind it.
Energy drink you say, what about the sky bluecozadesI'm surprised we've got supporters who are ambivalent about changing the colour of our kit or our name to be honest.
Especially a name change that incorporates a brand of energy drink.
But then again we've got supporters who think liquidation will solve our problems.
Yes we did, rumour going round that they were interested in taking us overI'm sure we had an identical thread on here 3-4 years back.

I don’t get the stopping supporting because of...thing. I support Coventry City FC. If they became RB Coventry I’d be massively pissed off, but I’d still support them. Same goes for kit colour, badge, manager, players, owners etc. If the entity I support still exists, I will still support it. Regardless of how much I disagree with a decision of the owners.It wouldn't stop me from supporting them if they did take us over although highly unlikely they will. I can understand people's views of not bothering if they did, same as the ones who stopped going to HR when it went all seater or the ones who stopped going when we moved to the Ricoh.

Both Cardiff and Hull made a massive fuss, regardless of league position.We’ve already had rebranding on a lesser scale with Hull changing to Tigers and Cardiff changing their home colours but both didn’t last too long - would have been interesting to see though if their fans would have still vetoed it if they didn’t get relegated. Cardiff only seemed to make noise about it when they went down
I don’t think it’d work for Red Bull in England unless they went for a club very low down so there wouldn’t be much uproar to contend with
Well I suppose we are now Otium FC...
Of course we all remember those heady Singer days...Who here cares about us becoming the Sky Blues instead of the Bantams and considers JH sacriligeous for changing our identity? Does anyone care that the club changed its name from Singers FC?
Our identity is probably the only thing we do haveWhat identity, a club owned by a foreign hedge fund, no stadium, a council and a former London Rugby club which has forced us out of the City, we have no identity!
