Holden McGroin 4849 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What would you do if fatboy renamed NUFC? Support another club? Carry on in hope that when he leaves the NUFC name will be restored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'd support an FCUM/AFC Wimbledon scenario. Probably the only instance in which I would go for such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Can't see it happening in all honesty. Whereas I think the stadium thing was sadly predictable. It would certainly be a bridge too far for the vast majority of fans. You never know with these cunts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 6846 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Won't happen, I would suspect the lease on the ground is to Newcastle United (or NUFC Ltd or some such) can't see the council agreeing to continue the lease for what would be a totally new "entity" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they'd need approval from the FA though for a name change, which of course would never be given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5904 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 If you had posed this question last month about St James being renamed you would have gotten every answer in this thread. The sad fact is, if NUFC was renamed the majority of people would just fucking accept it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CabayeAye Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Didn't the FA change the rule about 'franchising' after the Wimbledon farce. I know he won't relocate, but I can't see the FA supporting "Sports Direct FC". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26783 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 How they got away with the whole wimbledon/mk dons thing I'll never know. The Football League should've ran them out of town or made them start at the bottom of the football pyramid. Cowards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
