Question The Southend Tigers

[SUFCFANS]

We host Hull in just over week, who according to reports are none too happy with their owner rebrading to Hull Tigers..

How would we feel - let's say a new owner came in with millions - got us to the Prem, on the condition we were rebranded?

So the question is Southend United, chugging away where we are?

Or, The Southend Tigers, new stadium paid for in cash, million pound transfer, Prem footie week in week out?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Selling our soul for some shiny pieces of silver?

No thanks.

As we are!

I mean it would be great to be in the premiership but we should get there under our own steam. I know quite a few Munted supporters and the only time they show emotion is when they lose. They just expect to win the premiership year in year out. So for me it's as we are because you lows are low but your highs are very high.

 

[Its Only A Game]

Its just a name. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

In Hull's case its only adopting their nickname. Really don't see what all the fuss is about, once the owner dies, change it back again!

Their Chairman is threatening to walk away if they don't change their name. Surely a win/win situation.

 

[Jai]

That's what I thought. If they are operating within the boundaries of Financial Fair Play, they have nothing to worry about if he walks away, surely?

I'd never support a name change. The history and heritage of English football clubs are part of what make them so great.

Not sure "Southend Shrimpers" would be more marketable in Asia :unsure:

Song for the Hull game:
"Eeny meeny miny moe
You're Hull Tigers now, ya know!
Assem Allam won't let it go.
Eeny meeny miny moe"
:tease:

 

[Uncle Leo]

The players change, the managers change, the stadia change, fans come and go (at a much slower rate than players and managers of course) but the name 'Southend United' is constant and any change to that would see us lose our historical identity. No thanks.

Should add, some name changes are acceptable, e.g. Swansea Town changing their name when Swansea achieved city status. That made perfect sense, but a change to, say, Swansea Swans would be just wrong.

If Ron announced we were changing our name Id be annoyed.

If a millionaire came in and said he would build Fossetts and we would be finanically stable enough to compete in either the Championship or above then that would be a far tougher thing to turn down.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Surely we would be the Southend Nectars?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

The Southend Shrimpers

 

[Jam_Man]

The Southend Hammers has a nice ring to it.

:whistling:

Oh no! According to some on here fans have to name other people who would definitely buy the club if they are to want a chairman out.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Southend Slugs

That will work.

G'teed to put off the opposition.

We can always borrow a few hanging around an old hot dog in the closed South Upper catering bar to feature in some promo shots.

 

[Napster]

Southend Saxons.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

If Ron announced we were changing our name Id be annoyed.

Like changing from "The Shrimpers" to "The Blues"?

 

[gpd]

mmmm....New stadium paid for, you say.....Premier league football, you say.......mmm...I say...Up the Tigers!

 

[Jam_Man]

Like changing from "The Shrimpers" to "The Blues"?

Thats a nickname only, even more dramatic when its the actual name.

 

[chapperzUK]

Like changing from "The Shrimpers" to "The Blues"?

Yet many fans still refer to us as "The Shrimpers".

Back in the Jobson days we were all going to be carted off to Basilson and called SUFC:stunned:
