Well
the sh*t has truly hit the fan this time.
The
City fans have reacted with utter anger and embarrassment
in the main after the new stadium was called the Walkers'
Bowl.
Many
are resigned to the Walkers bit but the Bowl part has really
got people up in arms. The jokes from other fans are already
coming in thick and fast.
"Wa*kers
Bowl" more like, is a favourite already, as is toilet
bowl and crisp bowl.
You
can read the comments of hundreds who are not impressed by
going to the online petition.
Most
are unimpressed with the Americanisation, the commercialisation,
the fact that fans were not consulted, the embarrassment of
all the jokes it produces and the fact that it has no identity
for the club or place it's in.
Fans
from all over the country, even Sheepshaggers, have signed
it supporting City fans.
Here's
a comment we couldn't agree more with...
Possibly
the only name worse and more embarrassingly out of tune with
what City fans want and believe in would have been "The Dennis
Wise Stadium".
Our
favourite comment on the petition though, just to prove we've
still got a bit of a sense of humour left (but it's wearing
mighty thin now) has to be "Serves you bitter twats right"
from a Mr. "Peter Taylor"!
Do
you like the name? Let us know. Tell
us what you think about this in our FFS Fans
Forum.
