OldTowner Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Brighton is a TOWN, located in the City of Brighton and Hove. So, Should Whitehawk FC actually be called Brighton and Hove City ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyetfc Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 ..... Or Notts County who play in the city of Nottingham and Nottingham Forest who play in the County of Nottinghamshire. What's in a name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I actually think its a good move. The people of Brighton may just take to it,not in a big way but they are now 2 leagues off the football league,pretty much sell the Amex out for most games,can see them gaining a few hundred fans in the next couple of years,especially if Brighton get into the premier leave soon and start selling out every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carthorse Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Most people outside of Brighton will not have heard of Whitehawk (Been there many times myself) many clubs do this to help them seams a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkwright Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Think we should change our name to Enfield (Come & watch us as we're a fraction of the price of the local Premier League teams) Town FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enfield United Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I remember Leyton Pennant changing to Waltham Forest it did'nt help much. Whitehawk will have to do a lot of community work and publicity, as well as a marquee signing or two to get attention and attract the footfall IMO and that's if the owner does'nt go skint or gets bored with the mercenaries which will be sucking away at his wallet and then walks away aka Gretna.

thecoldend Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Will Wealdstone change their name to "Ruislip City" if they go up??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My sister lives in Brighton,been down there today,asked her and her hubby if they had heard of Whitehawk,they both said no.Asked them if they had heard of Brighton City FC,they both said they had heard they are a new footy team in Brighton going into the conference.Looks like it may not be that silly to rename it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekR Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 As an ETFC founder/supporter now exiled in Brighton could I add that the Whitehawk estate carries a rather unsavoury reputation within Brighton. I therefore think that it will only be good for the club to be rid of that association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
