Ebbsfleet United

The new name for Gravesend and Northfleet "to tap in to the regeneration of the area". And the fans groups approved it.

So what would you change Charlton's name to if you had to. Only as bit of fun as with should stick with our name and colours as we have always done unlike Millwall Rovers and the Claret and Blue team from SE25.

Thames Corridor Athletic?

Microsoft Operating Systems? (for when Bill Gates puts zillions into the team)

    When did they merge? I assume they were once two seperate clubs.

    I am assuming that as they are refer to themselves as "The Fleet" that changing the name will not make that much difference. Still, can't believe they agreed to it. Ebbsfleet doesn't even exist as a place, just a blooming railway station.

    originally Northfleet United, then briefly Gravesend United, then finally Gravesend & Northfleet from 1946.

    Don't bet against Gillingham moving to a site near Stonebridge road

    Ah, cue another Scally rant against Medway council then!!

    They should be allowed to move to Temple marsh. Might make the journey for me and Carlsberg a bit slower roundabout the motorway bridge though

    Ebbsfleet United? What a crock of old cack. Still, that's the club that was happy to play MK Dons in a friendly last summer.

    Charlton Slopes Athletic.

    Or we could just name ourselves after a railway station nearby, which would mean we'd be called Charlton Woolwich Dockyard Athletic. (Westcombe Park is taken by a rugby team.)

    Ebbsfleet v Bristol Rovers doesn't quiet sound right to be honest.

    If they do go up it will be interesting to see what the Kuwait mob do of they go up and if they want to go straight up again.

    I can see them building a new ground long term closer to the train station.

    You're absolutely right Blinkant, the police have retracted their earlier statement and it is now not all ticket.

    Should be a cracker!
