Changing the name of the club

edited April 2011 in Fun, Jokes & Captions
Whilst Charlton Athletic has a few memorable moments of history (eg 1947 FA Cup) associated with the name, the turgidity and decline of recent years arguable outweighs the positives with negatives. I seem to remember that Orient kept changing their name when they were rubbish to 'wipe the slate' clean. Is there any value in us changing our name in a year or two (a 'starting over', if you will).

Is so, what name would people like to see. I think Royal Greenwich FC (Greenwich becomes a Royal Borough in 2012) has a great ring to it, and would help attract tourists/overseas visitors/Royal Family loving Yanks/etc. Any other suggestions?

    Not a name change but the badge will be changed next real to incorporate a crown.

    Three designs already at Buck House and the college of Heralds for approval.

    One of the designs includes Henry on an azure field with a cardy embossed with chevrons and an Oggy rampant. I understand some censorship is required!

    Why not leave the name but change our home colours to all white or even red and blue in a bid to rid ourselves of our embarrassing and frankly fruitless past - Or have a couple of nearby clubs already tried those ridiculous ideas, with no success?

    Hilarious - really annoys me how the official site seems to be set up only to push the CAFCTV player these days. I'm beginning to wonder if it'll be compulsory to have a subscription to get in the ground soon!

    Tranquil Vale FC ...... as The Valley atmosphere is often so quiet and lacking.

    We could also revert once again to our true nickname, "The Valiants".
