The rumour I have heard is that we are going to follow the lead of Brisbane and at the request of Jed be renamed the Swindon Roar.

I read it and couldn't decide if I admired his honesty or despised his arrogance.
If I want to move jobs, I walk into the recruiters. I often take calls from recruiters talking up new jobs, so why should football be different? The only aspect I cannot fathom is that if a player moves on, even if they have engineered it, they are paid all or part of the unexpired term of their contract. It is completely illogical.

yeah, and robins are small and fluffy. We'd be much better off as the Swindon Dinosaurs.

Why are so many clubs' nicknames birds?
FFS what's a Throstle?
It is naff in the extreme and obviously deep-rooted in the origins of many clubs.
I applaud the Hull fella - there are many clubs who could benefit from updating their nicknames.
Up the Steam!!

A thrush....when clubs originated, the mass exodus from land to city had only been going for relatively few years...therefore people still had some nostalgia for wildlife, and avian activity was still a big feature of urban living. It's been the subsequent 100 years and particularly the last 40 or so which has seen the decimation of both bird and wildlife in both countryside and city.

Like it. Our mascot could be Gerard Butler in full '300' gear, with a Town shirt added. Instead of dancing in the centre circle before half time he could execute some transvestite Iranians.
