Is it time to lose Hove ?

[Bad Ash]

AMEX Albion FC all the way

 

[Notters]

We wouldn't want to lose our status as having the second longest name in the English football leagues.

Yes, I'll be very angry the day that we're no longer known as:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wolverhampton Wanderers.

 

[ROKERITE]

I don't think it should be dropped, but watching the Football League Show for all intense purposes we are just Brighton.

I've only ever heard people who support the club add the Hove part.

The rest of the world just says Brighton.

I always refer to Brighton & Hove Albion, and I don't support you; I think it's a fine name. If I ever come to Brighton I'll visit Hove, as it's the birthplace of one of my favourite actresses. I think Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic made a big mistake when they changed to the totally characterless AFC Bournemouth.

 

[Brixtaan]

If we were dropped I like the idea of Hove City being formed and coming back with foreign backing,rebuilding the Goldstone and thrashing Brighton Town FC at Falmer.

 

[BensGrandad]

There's a precedent - AFC Bournemouth used to be called Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic. With a town named Boscombe you couldn't blame them for dropping it.

.

My wife also thinks that it is not such a silly idea so what about AFC Brighton?

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

Would be the most apt use of the name "United"

Brighton and Hove United. See, it works.

Brighton and Hove Albion is a rather grand title. So let's keep it.

 

[Bulldog]

If we get rid of Hove, do we get rid of Tim?

Might make some think twice

 

[BensGrandad]

A rejuvenated club so as near new as possible, a new ground, in a new city so what about Brighton City

 

[Gritt23]

We are Brighton & Hove Albion, and I love it that way. You're just thinking too much, just leave well alone.

Still a bit old-fashioned, I prefer the Brighton Seagulls.

Or we could really take the corporate dollar and build the sponsors name into our club name: 'Amex Brighton and Hove Albion'. Or even 'Brighton and Hove Albion sponsored by American Express Card Services (Europe) FC'. No one's gonna beat that for the longest club name in the world!








Or indeed the most stupid.

 

[fataddick]

Having had the second longest name for so long, why not switch to the second shortest.

Falbion

(Contraction of Falmer Albion)

 

[auschr]

FC United Brighton & Hove Albion of Falmer Athletic

We've been called Brighton for over a hundred years, it's tired, stale, the kids just aren't interested. We need something new and exciting for the modern era, using corporate synergy to embiggen our brand profile.

We should simply be called Bramex.

Infamy infamy they've all got it .............

Brighton & Hove Albion is the iconic name, for an iconic club, in an iconic city.

I notice its mainly non B&H residents who are in favour of this awful idea.

I like it

How about something like Btown FC

Actually amex is a charge card rather than a credit card.

They do a credit card as well.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Shouldn't it be "Brighton (from the south)" ?

 

[BensGrandad]

They do a credit card as well.

I am sure that I was told that they charge interest from the date of the transaction on their credit cards with no free time whatsoever.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Yup, that's the one. That photo made me chuckle.

This one..................
