Bit of gallows humour. If AFCS were formed, what would you chose as the nickname, who would be the manager and what colour for the strip?

 

Also, given that we'd be starting in something like the 10th tier of English football, which retired ex. Saints who you try and bring back?

 

Not sure about the name, but I'd have Nick Holmes in from Salisbury and green and black stripes. I'd also try and get back Tessem and Pahars in some capacity.

Red n White

Saints

 

I mentioned a while ago that if the worst case does happen and SFC is wound up for good then it would be possible to buy the 'brand name' SFC and club badge and carry on as before.

Would have to stick with red and white... possibly halves or quarters though instead of stripes.

 

Id try and tempt Telfer back with Tessem. Maybe get Marsden in with a coaching role.

 

Would look to have Widderington or Holmes as manager... Think Benali would come in with some sort of role aswell.

 

MLT after a couple of years

 

Also, iv heard theres a chap called Rupert looking for a new team to be chairman of...

As it's gallows humour, blue shirts, white shorts, red socks. nick name pompey.

 

If Southampton went out of business I wouldn't bet on Gaydamak moving the club then rebranding it.

Where would an AFC Southampton team play? How would we go about starting the team? Who would play? How would we find players of a good enough standard? Lots of questions

Posted

How about nickmane Phoneix as in rise up from the ashes and all that?

Maybe a bit too American for us lot :)

 

Would have to be The Saints surely? Or is that copyrighted?

 

As for team colours Home Kit Red and White and away kit White and Red? ;)

 

Manager would have to be MLT or someone who means a lot to us. Someone who can bring back the old fighting spirit.

I am afraid that TNS have already bagged the New Saints

 

But they are in a small Principality somewhere... gah.

 

OK then, Phoenix Saints and add some yellow to the kit for the symbolic flames... too cheesy?

Actually, they play home games in England.

 

I knew that would get a rise from you Bungle (or another Wales based poster), twas only a joke...

I don't know about the nickname but the actual name should be...

SOUTHAMPTON 1885

 

And where Red & White stripes.

 

Southampton St Mary's

 

I like this big writing stuff...

Do you like computer games and think I suck?

 

Whatever you like to get up to in your spare time is fine by me...

 

And i do like computer games...haven't bought one in ages though...

 

Metroid Prime 2 would be the game in question...make of that what you will...

Aldershot Town did that in 1992 when they came out of administration. It was known as 'The Rise of the Phoenix'. So sorry, it has already been done! Nice idea though...

Surely it would be called AFFS not AFCS ? (Aw for F**k's sake)

Semi- serious question on the back of this 'new team' thread....what is the deadline for entering/registering a new club into whatever non-league we would have to enter at for next season?

 

Is this something 'someone' ought to be thinking about 'now' in parallel to what's going on with the 'current version' of club?

 

I'd hate to see the situation where SFC went under after such a deadline and we're left with nowt for next season, not even a phoenix version of the club.

I'd just like to say I hate the use of this word in relation to new footie teams.

 

Further, if we do form a new team, let's not be a bunch of ****s like those ****s from ****ish AFC Wimbledon. I've never encountered a worse set of non-league fans.

That's what I would have thought.

Are we losing our city status as well now? Where will it all end.:(

 

 

Technically I think we are a town as we lack a Cathedral. May be wrong though.

I'd have something resonant like Southampton Pheonix (as in Pheonix from the ashes etc..). Even after so much in-fighting the past few years, something like Southampton United as well.

 

I would play with red and white stripes, got to still be nicknamed Saints.

 

Not sure about Nick Holmes. Think he might be settled with Salisbury. Jimmy Case, Jason Dodd or Franny could be good alternatives. Would say Matty but wouldnt be worth his while financially speaking.

 

Players we could get back; Killer, Claus, Tessem...

Blimey, it's going to cost the council a fortune changing all those new road signs that say "City of Southampton" on them! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

a place is called a city if it has a cathedral or a university. And as we have a university in southampton its a city

 

Aren't Northampton a town? They've got a university.

 

I like the name Southampton United, as we would indeed be united. However most 'United' fans (MUFC, NUFC, WHUFC etc.) seem to be W anchors.

 

I also like the idea of a Phoenix for a nickname, but the plural doesn't really roll of the tongue. Maybe it could be on our club badge. :D

Its gota be one of...

 

AFC Southampton boring

 

Southampton Saints lame

 

Southampton St Marys lame

 

Saint Marys lame

 

Southampton City ...bearable

 

I liked Southampton 1885.

Wrong cathedrals have got feck all to do with cities although it's a widely held misconception. Southampton is a city because it is chartered as such.
