How about a top twenty of the best club names in British league soccer, ie the ones you just happen to like the sound of most? Here's my list, in no particular order: Accrington Stanley Crewe Alexandra Hamilton Academical West Bromwich Albion Nottingham Forest Plymouth Argyle Blackburn Rovers Aston Villa Queen of the South Wolverhamton Wanderers Inverness Caledonian Thistle Manchester United Bolton Wanderers Sheffield Wednesday Brighton and Hove Albion Queens Park Rangers Preston North End Partick Thistle and finally, Tottenham Hotspur (but then I may be a tad biased)

Erith & Belvedere This thread was about Football team names Its not about medical conditions you have caught on a Friday night on the town. And when you have caught the condition, then you can have a dose of SALTS (there really is a team called that!) I once went to Ely City and on the wall of the club was a league table for their Sunday side and bottom of the league was a club with the name simply N.A.F.D. On enquiring I was told it stood for "Not Another F***ing Defeat" (true story)

one name that really interests me is TNS, a couple of years ago they were sponsered by Total Network Solutions, I think the chairman was the owner of TNS, he pulled out of the club, therefore the sponser was lost....owww not what TNS obviously wanted to keep there name, so TNS stood, but changing the words to The New Saints.....interesting! mmmmmm

I'm fairly sure that the ownership of the club remained unchanged. I seem to remember that (after checking that BT's cheque had cleared) he did open an auction to see if a new company wanted to acquire the naming rights to the club. However no-one offered anything that approached his reserve price, so a new meaning for the existing acronym was invented.

The Captains name was "Brilliant Genius"........You couldn't make it up! (Err sorry - it was made up)

Can't believe no-ones mentioned the only team named after an agricultural product....Billingham Synthonia (synthetic ammonia). Nice to see a name check for the Oxhey Jets though PP they played down my way the other day vs. Hanwell Town, almost went to see em!
