Nimmo's Notes Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Embarrassing when folk at work ask you who you're playing this week and you come away with Caledonian Braves! Think I'll stick to Edusport.......they've only just got used to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Caledonian Braves, if that is what it is, is bloody awful but fits the gimmick nature of the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlansHotBath Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Caledonian Braves is an incredibly lame name. Sounds like a rugby team from a kids cartoon. Honestly can't wait til the brain trust behind them just get bored and a real team gets into the league in their place Edited June 30, 2019 by AlansHotBath 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those choices once again... Alliance FC Black Falcons Caledonian Braves FC Copa FC Edusport Eagles Edusport Phoenix FC Tribe FC Spero Phoenix FC or derivative (Black Phoenix, etc) Lanarkshire Lynx Mondial FC Sporting Union FC Ooft what a list ! I think I would just have stuck with Edusport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly can't wait til the brain trust behind them just get bored and a real team gets into the league in their place Back when pro-rugby began in the late 1990s the Aberdeen-Perth franchise was actually called Caledonia Reds, before SRU merged 4 down to 2. That's why Glasgow Warriors were briefly called Glasgow Caledonian Reds (similarly Edinburgh Gunners were briefly Edinburgh Reivers). Hopefully the badge isn't going to be some kilt-wearing, claymore-wielding clansman running down a glen, tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wullieboy78 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I’ve been an Edusport member for well over a year now, made the trip to Annan several times last season as well as enjoying away trips to Kelty, East Kilbride and Cumbernauld Colts. We currently have over 600 members worldwide and hope that can grow in the coming season. Moving into new ground which will be ready for pre-season friendlies in a couple of weeks time and a new mobile phone app which will be ready by the end of July. Everything going on at the club is positive and can’t understand all the negativity towards what we are trying to achieve 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything going on at the club is positive and can’t understand all the negativity towards what we are trying to achieve Personally I have no issue as such with EA/CB - novel idea to go about it the way you are... but the new name is (IMO) rubbish and is something you'd associate with an American sport. Football is a sport heavily tied to sense of place, something EA/CB are trying to shrug off. A team's name historically reflects its locale and or its founders, with exceptionally few exceptions. I suppose though Albion Rovers is not the kind of name that would be heralded with cheers were it unveiled now either though! The Caledonia / Alba thing is a shared theme I guess. A name less generic and more tied to place would (IMO) have got less criticism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westhamich Albion Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Like Wullieboy I am a member and have been down to a fair few games as well. Don’t get the negativity about the team - they are in the league on merit. A nice new wee ground for next season and hopefully the opportunity to get local people interested and build something more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Don't see the issue with Edu Sport or Caledonian Braves, they've done everything by the rule book and worked their way to where they are fairly. I don't think it's a great name but the point of a pyramid is any team can enter (that meets the criteria) and find their level. Only time will tell if CB is a good idea and what their level is. I certainly prefer a new team trying this online idea rather than them taking over an already establish team with decades of history as we saw down south with Ebbsfleet United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
