Change of nickname?

Leonidas was leading scorer at the 38 WC for Brazil...maybe the striker Paolo is looking for, apart form the fact he's dead. We've had Moonraker mascots in the past...if people feel that strongly about it, get off your fat arses and do something about it.  You'll prob need CRB clearance these days mind.

Leonidas (the third, I think) is the number 5 horse in Totopoly.

I used to remember when Calne was full of pigs. The waft of offal on the way to school was immense.

Reading are 'The Royals' on the basis (I think) that Windsor is 20 miles up the road and that it's the largest town in Berkshire.  So why not?

I've never once heard 'The Robins' from the stands.  It's a term used by journalists and programme writers only.  Means very little to our fans, I think.  At least 'The Moonrakers' would be uniquely Swindon in league football, and not shared by two other clubs less than an hour away.

Reading should be the Biscuitmen.  We should be the Moonrakers or Spartans.  Either's good.  How the fuck can we share a nickname with the Slave Traders?
