Purfleet Official Name Change

Quote:

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="" />).

You want to watch that; Hornchurch havn't always been called Hornchurch. Past names have included varying degrees of Upminster.....
[quote taken from www.nonleaguedaily.com]
Previous Names: Hornchurch & Upminster (Upminster FC pre-1950s) merged with Upminster Wanderers in 1961

don't worry Simon...your time will come....'Basilricay Rovers' or 'Across the Great Divide United'....

 

either way you'll still be looking up at us.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Uncle Urchin]

just as an after thought to that topic...we should really be called Hornchurch & Upminster..

 

the grounds half and half in both...

 

well at least we've got two MPS who don't come down.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Isn't Upminster on some dodgy underground line ??

[Urchino]

Yeah the beginning or end of the District line depends which way you look at it !

 

Dogdyness rating before 9- 7/10

after 9- 8.5/10

[Uncle Urchin]

right then...great debate...nothing like a bit of democracy in these matters...

 

Newton Heath it is then..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Urchin fan]

As the stadium is very near uminster bridge station, what about being called Upminster Bridge Rovers.

[Urchin fan]

Sorry about uminster someone has moved all the letters around on this b***** keyboard again!

[Little Miss Urchin]

No. I have spoken now. End of discussion!

 

Besides, from what I hear if the name is changed it will reek havoc with the fanzine!!!

What a [****!!****] way at trying to hide the past 18 yrs as a 'football club'.

 

Purfleet never had much support, no passion for the game....so what's going to change?

 

The only time their crowds topped 100 is when Grays Ath visited the pit to boost the crowds by 500 % and when they get their annual visit from West Ham / Arsenal 6th XI's.

 

Roll on Thurrock FC - or whatever your called!
