If you wanted a link with the Rugby supporters they could have been called after their most famous player!! Northampton Pollocks. Joking aside I thought something like Knights would have worked.Ā Isn't their some links to Royalty in the area? I mean they couldn't have been called the Princesses.Ā Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveWayne Posted 13 minutes ago Report Share Posted 13 minutes ago I'm not sure I understand all this stressing about the name. People are talking as if Foxes is synonymous with Leicester. If that is the case then why are the Speedway team called the Lions, and the Rugby team called the Tigers ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
