Change of club's name?

[greyerfox]

It has been suggested that a fitting tribute to the murdered MP Sir David Amess would be to grant his wish that Southend be granted City status. Were that to happen, what are the odds on a change of name to Southend City? Swansea adopted the new status in their club name. Why not Blues? Perhaps a chance to see an upturn in our fortunes.

 

[BoyWonder2]

No, just no.

 

[TrueBlue]

No! Southend United is our name, now if we were called Southend Town then you might have a point

 

[Barling Magna]

No. Certainly not.

Although I suppose if the worst happens it could be the name of the Phoenix club.

 

[woodbridge shrimper]

No. Certainly not.

Not sure about the name change.
But what about The new ground being called The David Amoss Stadium

The A(right)mess Stadium would be more apt…

Yes apologies
THE DAVID AMESS STADIUM

 

[Strykr]

No.
Next.

No to the name change and no to the stadium name. I’m sure there’s more worthy people or organisations we could name it.

 

[SS9_Shrimper]

Get out.

No way, we are Southend United, even if for many we years we have been un united. Hopefully we can soon all be reunited in stopping the rot in our great club.

 

[RHB]

Not for me thanks, once United always United.

 

[sufc4life21]

100% no.

 

[Floval Flyer]

If that’s a given then Man Utd would have needed to change their name to… errrr !?!

oh! nope.

 

[leeblue]

No

 

[Gridelet's contact lens]

No thank you. United we stand, United we fall.

 

[johnlattimerssponge]

Much as I respected Sir David it is a big fat no from me as I am sure it would have been from him as well.

 

[danbowen]

Did David Amess even like the club? I know he supported West Ham but if I remember correctly he didn’t give any toss about us and certainly not other things like the airport etc too. Horrible what happened to him but he had no/very little links to us I don’t see why people are even suggesting we name our stadium after him.
RIP to him and condolences to his family though. No family should have that happen to them and people should be able to go to work knowing they are safe.

 

[Seaside Shrimper]

Absolutely a no from me, thanks

No, no, no, That's like your mum giving a different honey or taking away the cookies whenever I visit
