Heres a slighlty more signiture friendly crest for those interested.

Good stuff lads, Id be in team farmer right now! Still open to convincing until the poll goes up so any other suggestions get em in now!!

Chong · 24-09-2008 1:27pm

Good Man Superman, it will keep the narks off our backs.

ShiverinEskimo · 24-09-2008 1:36pm

I lived in Cambridge for a while and supported Cambridge FC while I was there, going to the Abbey every other week. They were in the old Division 3. They have since been relegated to the conference and are not faring well.

Interesting fact tho - when every english league team was asked who they considered to be their main rivals only cambridge and peterborough said each other...

Obviously not a suggestion because they could meet our beloved prem teams in the FA cup and what not but thought i'd put that out there.

I nominate the El-Kanemi Warriors from the Nigerian Division 1.

Recently relegated, so we can cheer them on during their chase for promotion again.

Naa they'll surely be linked to Newcastle shortly :pac:

A mention for Zimbabwe Caps Utd who have a defender who has the great good fortune to be called Danger Fourpence... cheap at the price imo

DeVore · 24-09-2008 3:39pm

I think this is a savage idea, GO EAGLES!!!

:)

DeV.

Sherifu · 24-09-2008 3:41pm

Where eagles dare.

Dub13 · 24-09-2008 3:46pm

Ok folks I will be putting the poll up Friday afternoon so if you want to nominate a team get moving.

:eek:

Jaysis Neil, even the top brass are coming out of the woodwork for this one.

It's decided anyway, no need for a poll.

DeV says it's the Eagles, the Eagles it is.

Xavi6 · 24-09-2008 3:49pm

Go Ahead Eagles will link up nicely with my Aussie Rules team the West Coast Eagles!

_blank_ · 24-09-2008 3:50pm

That was pretty sly Xavi. I saw that coming a mile off tbh.

24-09-2008 3:52pm

This could be epic.

I can see a trip to Holland down the line haha!

We love you farmers, we do
We love you farmers, we do
We love you farmers, we do
O superfarmers we love you !

Dub13 · 24-09-2008 3:55pm

A trip to Holland is always a good thing,good for the soul.

ShiverinEskimo · 24-09-2008 4:20pm

Xavi6 · 24-09-2008 4:24pm

I think there's gonna have to be a poll. Just to keep it all above board.

Yeah we should poll it just to make it official, but I imagine Eagles it will be.

Chong · 24-09-2008 5:39pm

I am off to the motherland in 2 weeks , I might see about getting to game, if not at least some merchandise.

Not sure you will pick up much Eagles merchandise in England....:)

My proposal is Go Ahead Eagles from the Dutch Eerste Divisie

- The fact that a few hundred (or more) fans in a different country have decided to start supporting the team will really be a novelty for the club

I think no matter who we pick, this is gonna be the coolest thing about it all! We should get the boards brigade over for a game and make as much noise as we can manage!

I'd be well up for that. It would be so funny, they wouldnt know what to make of us.

''Crazy Irish''

DeVore · 24-09-2008 7:13pm

Jesus I'd be up for a trip to the 'dam. I might not manage to make it to the game though

:)

Seriously, it would be a laugh as the Dutch are good craic and Amsterdam is a savage town for a weekend with the lads

Off Topic Thread btw....

jaykay74 · 24-09-2008 8:24pm

Back to the Go Ahead Eagles. We need a few english sources of info. pesky dutch seem to insist on dutch language websites and forums. I mean wtf.

and clips on how things are going so far...

DSB · 24-09-2008 8:38pm

Genuinely think stuff like this is all thats wrong with football support. This isn't a support your local club rant or anything like that but the idea of just adopting a team for novelty purposes is a bit mad. I always thought supporting a club was about way more than that. Sorry if I seem like a buzzkill, but I get the same when I hear someone referring to as 'following a clubs results'. I mean whats the point?

Mr Alan · 24-09-2008 8:41pm

i would "kind of" agree with DSB, which is why i think Boardeaux would be the best option

although i can kind of see why it'd be fun for some, wouldnt really be my bag i dont think:(

Buzzkill is not the word, join the Go Ahead Eagles band wagon brother!

DSB · 24-09-2008 8:45pm

I genuinely think people sometimes prefer football statistics to actual football.

Dub13 · 24-09-2008 8:55pm

Its a Internet fad.

On Boards we have had many over the years...david hasselhoff,mustard and other random stuff have got its own forum here.Its about time the soccer forum had a fad.
