elangLCFC Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Just watching Hull on TV and got me thinking about name changes. How would you, as a fan, react if our owners wanted to change the name to Leicester Foxes officially. It may bring in extra revenue, as the Hull owners claim, but a name is often seen as somewhat of a tradition that shouldn't be changed. So would you be for it, or against it? Personally I'd be against it but if it was changed it wouldn't change the way i support the club, although I'd still refer to us as Leicester City.
lgfualol Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Well, against it of course.Even if it did create more money. It's so embarrassing.
Bayfox Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Leicester city or leicester fosse anything else and it means nothing. I think the hull owner has missed the irony in saying city is not unique. yet if you say tigers to most people in this country they would think egg chasing. but if he thinks it adds something fine. But I think he may be wrong. This isnt the states.
Dan Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Well this scared me a little... The fact any name change would be done with business in mind rather than fans' wishes makes me automatically against it regardless of what it is.
sylofox Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Foxes is our nick name ot ourname. Would partake in every effort to stop it if all failed walk away untill it was changed back. The olny way owners will understand what they are doing is wrong is having empty stands. Would do the same if they changed our home kit away from blue/white or whie/blue. Unlike cardiff red and fvcking white my arse.
silebyboy Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 How would it really create more money? It's not really going to create a significant number of foreign fans is it? Surely the only way to do that is by achieving things on the pitch over a sustained period of time?
dobbylcfc Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Would be against it regardless of the money it would generate. We are Leicester city and that's how it should stay!!!
AndWhat? Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Straw and camel come to mind. Would be the end for me and English football.
dayday Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 The ground change name i can accept,if we were change our name i would refuse to go.

With you on this, fosse is where we started, and city now, anything else wouldn't wash, glad our owners seem content with it as it is, well they have never suggested anything anyway.
Dan Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 With you on this, fosse is where we started, and city now, anything else wouldn't wash, glad our owners seem content with it as it is, well they have never suggested anything anyway. Hull were in the same position a year ago. I genuinely don't think Top would change it but they wasted no time in sticking King Power everywhere, so you can never be sure. I definitely think they're better than the likes of Allam/Tan though.
Kitchandro Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Anyone who says they'd be happy with this are wind up merchants so why you would even ask the question I don't know.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Leicester Fosse is acceptable. When Hull become the Tigers they will just be in Leicesters shadow.
Xen Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Leicester Foxes? No. If we did change though, I'd love us to be Leicester Fosse again.
Stadt Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Hull didn't want to be City because it was like Leicester City but they're changing to Tigers which is still like Leicester haha

I don't get how the Cardiff and hull fans are just lying down and accepting it, if it does ever happen to city, I would expect Demo's and people to vote with their feet, if not city or fosse I wouldn't go, our clubs have history and not to be undermined by some publicity stunt, or because the owners think red is lucky, again I think our owners appreciate tradition and don't think they will change anything
MPH Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Americanism. TBF the Leicester Tigers have been called the tigers long before America started influencing any of our sports...
Rincewind Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Instead of not going, go then have a mass walk out 5 minutes after the start. seeing the crowd go from 20k to 2k would make them think more.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Instead of not going, go then have a mass walk out 5 minutes after the start. seeing the crowd go from 20k to 2k would make them think more. Good luck finding 18,000 people willing to throw 30 quid down the Soar.
MPH Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 Instead of not going, go then have a mass walk out 5 minutes after the start. seeing the crowd go from 20k to 2k would make them think more. Meanwhile the owners rub their hands with glee at the 20,000 people who just spend 30 quid. ( I think the point being the owners would think twice if the money dried up.. but if everyone turned up they wouldn't miss out o. Anything).
The Doctor Posted 26 December 2013 Posted 26 December 2013 The only change I'd accept is Fosse as our historic name. Definitely not Leicester Foxes.
