Always been my opinion on this as well. If they don't want to use the Whitehawk name anymore, East Brighton is a better reflection of the club and it's location than "Brighton City"

[Football] Whitehawk still want to change their name

This.
Forest Green did change their name for a couple of years - to Stroud, a nearby town. Change didn't do them any favours, though - if anything the club went backwards during that time - so they soon changed it back.
And yes, it's amazing to think that England's finest village team could soon be in League 2 - the smallest club ever in the league??
That might have worked whilst we were playing in Hove, but aren't we just a tiny bit further east than they are now?

I think Whitehawk is an excellent name.
But we are the seagulls!
You do realise that there isn't a village in Northamptonshire called "Diamonds"?!
Rushden & Diamonds FC was formed as a merger in 1992 between Rushden Town FC, and Irthlingborough Diamonds FC.

We have Swindon Town and Swindon Supermarine down here that causes no problems.
Was Swindon Athletic before Supermarine.

I thought the place was twinned with the city of Total Network Solutions in Wales.You do realise that there isn't a village in Northamptonshire called "Diamonds"?!

Who said " Diamonds are forever? "
Come on, it's not a city at all - it's only a town, and a rather smallish one at that!
.....and it's in England!
.....and it appears that TNSFC doesn't stand for Total Network Solutions FC any more either!

Perhaps they can focus on getting support from Kemp Town then rename themselves Queens of the South.

Silly old bat
They are making it sound like Whitehawk is something to be ashamed of rather than proud. Stay as Whitehawk and be proud.

As Brighton pubs change their names so readily, not a surprise it has come to football. Whitehawk is a good name. Brighton City is naff. Langney Sports was also preferable to the dreary Eastbourne Borough.

On his last warning
Why not call themselves Hawkers and become only the 3rd English club to not have a geographical football club name?
It would make me buy a season ticket.

Named after a NSC regular I guess.
I think I read somewhere it was brought in after the Albion appealed and won this.
Don't see the issue myself.
On another point wouldn't it be good to have two fairly successful clubs in the city?

Not seen such Bravery!
They could call themselves Whitehawk Supermarine. That would be ACE.
