The bottom line is most Western governments are just Ponzi schemes scraping by with all their credit cards maxed out. There’s very little any shade of politician can do “within the accepted rules” to change anything. Much higher taxes, privatising the NHS etc All the things no politician will properly go near because they want to hang around for another 5 years.

Northampton Saints RFC did the same exercise last year - on the same notion that the old badge didn't translate to a digital age. My opinion of it is that losing specific references to the city is shame. You can end up with a generic cartoon like badge.

As far as I can see there is absolutely zero difference between the economic policies of Labour and the Cameron/Osborne government The only point of difference is Cameron and Osbourne admit Brexit is a disaster

Beat me to it, but mine is probably more likely

Been chatting with a ST holder who got the survey. It's basically asking which of the elements (shield / seahorses / banner) of the current badge can be removed - scoring each element 1-10. Sounds all the world as though it's about minimalising the current badge and they've called out what Juventus did with theirs as an example. In that event, it's a no from me - if they want to do a complete redesign that's one thing but to bastardise the current badge?

They didn't. It's apparently 'Because the current crest is a raster-based image that doesn’t scale well across different platforms.' (unless someone's having me on?) So the new crest will be a Bob Marley mash up. New run out anthem... 🎵...he was a Gallowgate soldier, Taken from Leazes end, Sent to the Corner, Fighting for survival, Fighting in the resale He was a Gallowgate soldier, Taken from East Stand, Sent into exile Fighting for the survival Fighting in the resale...🎶

So it feels like Labour are forcing cuts and budget problems through the public sector and letting the chips fall where they will. How many people's lives are getting fucked up by this nonsense man.

lets face it, if it's anything but turbo shit it will have exceeded expectations, but honestly, who really cares?

Couldn’t really give two fucks but the idea they’re changing it because of difficulty incorporating the badge in a “digital world” is complete bullshit. Just tell the truth and say it’s a corporate branding exercise

Just needs the VAR lines drawing.

It's a PR exercise to make it look like they're engaging with the fans. The crest will be done by some fucker in a design agency who hasn't got a clue about the club or the city.

This gets my vote marra

As others have pointed out the admin overhead for managing the sensitivity required would be massive. I've long since resigned to the notion that if I want to have direct involvement in how the club is run I need to pay the £37 annual membership fee and if I don't, I need to accept decisions are made without an opportunity to present my view. It's far better than it used to be. In the past, the board made decisions and we'd just have to accept it. When they changed they last changed the badge in the summer of 1988 there was no consultation and no-one was aware until they revealed the team photo for the coming season.

Do you reckon the club asked the fans opinion when they changed the badge is the past?

My lass, a teacher of 25 years, had the word redundancy chucked at her recently. The pay rises that teachers have had recently, and the ones currently being decided upon have involved no additional funding from government who just say the schools need to find it from their existing budgets. Which as you can imagine, are already stretched further than they should go. It's fucking ridiculous.

God forbid it's anything like this old abortion, always hated this one

I’ll care x

Sportswashed ☝️

They seem to have my email still and have had no bother sending out invites to buy tat or tickets for pre-season friendlies at home they're struggling to sell? If they send me it and I'm dead nobody will know or care.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgle2xkg3wpo NHS cuts: Services including diabetes care for young people, rehab centres and talking therapies are in the firing line, according to NHS Providers, which represents health managers. Staff, including doctors and nurses, also face the axe - and some NHS trusts are stopping overtime for doctors, putting the drive to cut the hospital waiting lists at risk.

Howmanheyman howay can you imagine the admin involved in that to sort out those who've pegged it, moved, got married/changed names etc etc

It’s their IQs

Too late

I hate the colour, it's better than the castore green one but everyone of these Saudi green shirts are wank. I don't even think it's because it's green, it's the shade of green. I don't know?

Having seen tbd's tattoos, I just hope there's a ballot between him and his vote.
