The final indignity for Darlo is they now have to change their name. The choices are: Darlington FC 1883, 1883 Darlington FC, Darlington Community Football Club (CFC), CFC Darlington, Darlington Athletic Football Club (AFC), AFC Darlington and Locomotive Darlington.
So if the worst happened to Dale, what would our new name be?
I'm going for Spotland Spitfires. |  |

Rochdale Town would be best but Cassy Gabs have nabbed it.
As everything is AFC now we could just drop the A. Or Rochdale Borough. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Incidentally why would the new team in Darlo call themselves 1883, that was the founjding date for te previous club that no longer exists, and hence the need for a new name, or am I missing something.
Like our egg chucker friends who cliamed they couldnt use Rochdale Hornets because the old club owned that and they were an entirely new club, but the still claim the honours of the old club (see the discussion about celebrating 90 years since they won the Challenge Cup), they didnt win it, the previous club did 9oh and it was called the Northern union cup then). |  | | |

If it happened tomorrow Rochdale Stanley would be the obvious choice. (In 6 months time however...) |  |

Go for something that sounds tough and menacing: Rochdale Deathblades or something. | | | |

Many years ago (30?) - remember watching final score on grandstand and graphic had us down as being called "Rochdale Town" - the bloke who read out the result announced it like that also.
I turned it over to ITV and the mistake was repeatede on there |  |

If our near neighbours needed a new name, Buried Alive would work in that it remembers the past, while looking to the future. | |
