Phoenix Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 For an obscure nickname, how about The Gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to their jump jockey kit, thought their nickname was pretty straight forward. ? Clyde being the Bully Wee, now that’s quirky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the strongest were the following Spurs Rams Hammers Owls I thought that most are known my the names of the club or even a shortened version such as Man Utd etc but although most clubs have a nickname few are known by them I’ve been a STH at West Ham for 4 years and I’ve never heard anyone refer to them as The Hammers anymore. It’s the Irons and even the official screen says COYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still have a band that plays rousing music before the match, including a finale of 'I'm for ever blowing buubles', a song that I think we should adopt. 'Just like my dreams they fade and die'. A mate of mine from Buxton moved down that way, late 1960's and played in the band. I met him by accident on the tube and when he found out I was living in Upminster at the time, tried to get me to join. Main bonus, if such it could be called, was watching the match for free, but I declined. They had some good players then, (the team, not the band), especially Trevor Brooking.

Yep they still have the song but a record not a live band. It’s hardly a rousing song to get the blood up is it “I’m forever blowing bleeding bubbles” My nearest team is the Orient, a lovely little family club with a supporters club bar that has won CAMRA awards. I go there now and again, once wearing a Rams shirt and didn’t have to pay for a drink all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a lot depends on the club's ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard The Dogs being referred to as "Foresters" before... nor their neighbouring Magpies being referred to as Lambs! Always thought the Hammers were officially The Irons. Looks like The Hornets have kicked Burton out of the league, and nicked their nickname to boot! The Only team on the outskirts of Bristol have seemingly dropped both Gas and Pirates, and gone for the much catchier "Rovers"! Looks like the Tractor Boys have gone for a joy ride, as they don't even make the list! ... And I never knew the Millers had ever been Merry!

Yes and it was still when I was there in 1985 ? I think we lost 2-1 and it was the last game before we sold Kevin Wilson if my old brain is working correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
