Jed really seems to be pushing the Spartans nickname thing around a lot lately JedMcCoy @JedMcCoy 26s 7,600 home fans for tomorrow's game so far hoping for the 10,000 Spartans to start roaring the only league club in Wiltshere up the table..👍 ( Yes its not Wiltshere but Wiltshire ) Club email re Orient tickets I know he tweeted ages ago about reverting back to the spartans. Any thoughts ? ( stupid q as bound to be )

It's no Moonrakers, but better than Robins

Me, too.
Robins is naff in the extreme - every fucking team who plays in red are called Robins - Shitty, Cheltnum.
CG needs a change of name as well.

Could someone mock up what the club crest might look like with the robin obliterated and replaced with a Greek fighting person with a dagger and shield?

If its a nickname change then I'm not too bothered. If it was a Swindon Town to Swindon Spartans change then he can fuck off.
I know he must read this forum...

Given our history of expelling unwanted Greeks and the general liking for ska, I'd have thought Trojans would be more like it

I know it's a historical name for us, but it does sound a bit naff. Replacing Rockin' Robin with a mildly homoerotic greek warrior might also be problematic. Changing the 'proper' name of the club to Spartans would be even fucking worse, would make us sound like some shit American high school football team.
County Ground can stay as is too thank you Audrey.
