.. Leicester Fosse??!! (13/03/03)


Wow! The new Chairman really knows how to capture the interest of the fans!

On announcing that the deal had been finally done and that Leicester City were coming out of administration, the new Chairman, John Holmes, stunned people all over the world at the press conference by floating the idea that the club should change its name.

The proposal, which is for fans to discuss and maybe vote on, is to change the club's name from Leicester City to Leicester Fosse.

The rationale behind it? It's a new beginning and a new era so let's start with a new (ish!) name. But let's retain some of our history too.

It's also because when you say City, we know who we mean, but nationally most people think of Man City. If you say Fosse, it could only mean us.

Many fans were massively in favour of calling the new Stadium the Fosse stadium but will they want to change the name of the club?

The fact that the new Chairman is going to put forward radical and innovative ideas and listen to what the fans think, rather than just impose hated stuff on us (post horn gallop, blue shorts etc etc) surely is a great new step forward too?

So, Leicester Fosse...is the way to go? FFS loves the idea. It's exciting and marks the start of a new era. But what do you think?
