Change of Name

 

A decision has been made by the Directors and Committee of Purfleet Football Club with immediate effect to change the name of the Club to Thurrock Football Club.

 

The club is situated a few miles away from the town of Purfleet but in the Borough of Thurrock.

 

The main reasons for the name change are, the club’s ground is the Thurrock Hotel., and the club’s main sponsor is Lakeside Shopping Centre, which is synonymous with the name “Thurrock”.

 

The club also hopes that by a change of name it will attract more supporters and also lead to wider sponsorship.

 

The club is proud to have had the name Purfleet for the last eighteen years and proud of what it has achieved under this name. It now looks forward to further achievements under its new name.

I wonder what East Thurrock think about it ?

[Little Miss Urchin]

If someone tried to change the name of my beloved Hornchurch I'd attack 'em with me crutch! (That's crUtch - don't go getting any ideas now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />).

[Urchino]

Yeah i know what you mean, about the name not the crutch i will do an Unc and "swerve" that one. I might suggest they merge that will get them going <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> .
