As was the case 13 years ago Bombers is hardly the most appropriate name in the modern world.

Probably even less appropiate now. Though that could be a whole new debate.

As for Real Madrid having a strong nickname as mentioned in a previous post... they're known as Los Merengues or Los Blancos. Not too hard to translate those. Although the full name of the club is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol which is shortened to simply Real Madrid.

Barcelona is simply shortened to Barça.

I don't see the name for a silly nick name. The club is been run very well at the moment and a nickname has been considered but decided against. Fax or the Blue & Whites is fine for me.






Black Red Blue Green

I like the one we've been given by the press personally.

"The Entertainers".






You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how ya gonna have a dream come true?

Are you claiming all you are entitled to? www.debtadvicenetwork.org then go to "Self Help" then "Benefits & Entitlements".

Also I could just imagin the away supporters chanting "Bummers" as we shouted "Come on you Bombers". What sort of trouble would that create?? :roll: It would also have been worse in the year we lost all but 1 of our games. Would we even have had a team to cheer on today I wonder?






Hope without planning is about as futile as waiting for a harvest without planting

Time the stupid name was consigned to history.
Not even worth discussing.
Lets get on with being Halifax or Fax as we supporters know our team.
We don`t need any fancy names.
Mind you Halifax Bankers could be quite topical! :)

Halifax Bank Robbers would give a harder image and would be even more topical :lol:
