Lefty 1,266 Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Name the team after one of the other reindeers' then? Unless a Reindeer is a type of Stag in which case Scunny will probably veto it. Edited December 9, 2021 by Lefty Diplomacy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's all Godfreys fault if a club goes pop the assets revert to bspa or whatever it's called now, to hopefully pay off any debt. Who is the head of bspa ??

Oxford will be racing at their historical home so it is their name to use. Im not sure where Northside is but as long as they represent the town of Workington - unless someone owns the name legally that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure where Northside is but as long as they represent the town of Workington - unless someone owns the name legally that is. Like I stated earlier the Comets name isn't copyright and it's not a registered trademark so why are the BSPL looking for a fee from it... no one owns it...I'm not even sure they are following their own guidelines... I can sort of see where they might be coming from with the regulation put up by @Marksman 're Chapter 14 Junior Leagues but all they should have said is once you come back into the Champ or Prem you can use the Comets name please use something else for now... after all the junior team was always called the Meteors.... when they had two teams... However in recent times when Brum and Eastie dropped down a league did they drop their main club name? I'm not sure but I don't think so... so I honestly can't see the argument and how they .can enforce it... When Belle Vue moved venues did they change their name... there are precedents to support Workington to be called the Comets that would stand a legal test... Think the BSPL are shooting themselves it the foot with this one... but at the end of the day a name change wouldn't bother me one bit and certainly wouldn't stop me from attending meetings...
