Rules and Regs on a club name change?

Not many clubs have ever done this, MK Dons springs to mind but that was quite an odd situation.

Are there any rules and regs from the FA on name changes?

Orient also done it and put Layton in front of it in the 90's I think.

After the MK Disaster there was lots of changes post that happening

So is that basically saying they can change the name just not to a sponsor or something alike?

Don't know, we're forgetting, this isn't just VT's decision, it would have to be approved by the FA and maybe the FAW and frankly. I can't see them going for it, even as gutless as they are.

TNS comes to mind

If they change our name I will be f****g livid, that is OUR SOLE IDENTITY.

Change the colours to red.
Change the nickname to Cardiff Dragons.
Change the colour of the stadium and seats to red.
Change the badge for all I care.

But the moment they try and change the f****g clubs name I will go insane.


ps sorry for swearing,. i was emotional.

But they arent going to change the name are they or am i missing something. Just our knickname and Colours

Very true indeed.
If this is so easy though im just amazed a big club especially those american owned havent tried something.

Rumours are to the Cardiff Dragons, we will wait and see though.

Im not saying its happening im just wondering if its possible.
