having not lived in Brighton for many a year (before it was city status and beyond) I'm not sure if there is still the 'Them & Us' between Brighton & Hove but how about ... Brighton & Hove (A) United City ... that would confuse the hell out of pundits and commentators :O

We could just have Brighton and Hove Actually. We could be the Actuallies.

Brighton Reserves.

More annual humiliation for United and West Ham, and not feeling so bad when we are turned over by other PL teams.

I haven't included "Citeh" as that would have required a recent name change which would have raised objections amongst the majority of fans....
Understood, as we weren't originally a city, so we couldn't have started with that. But then we weren't a town either were we? I thought it was two towns?

It's too difficult for me to pick a name that now reminds me of other clubs.

Looking at the poll results I'm surprised to see the greatest number of votes are for a name change from the original to City (25%). I didn't realise there would be that high a level of support in favour of the club abandoning its traditional roots and rebranding itself.

:facepalm: Don't you understand your own poll? That doesn't mean people want to change it, you asked if it couldn't be Albion, what would we want it to be. Obviously we'd all like it to stay as Albion, but you weren't offering that option.

Is it an international break, by any chance?
