PossilYM Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Bishopbriggs connection completely ditched so no Spam Valley Utd. Let's name the team after a railway works in Springburn that died a very slow death. Scary. Edited April 6, 2023 by PossilYM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say in the statement they're waiting for SFA approval. It's just been okay'd by the WoSFL. Since ICT did start as Caledonian Thistle FC I don't know if they might have any lingering rights kept for things like commerative merch or simply because it is a part of their history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Has nobody told them that there already is a club called Caledonian Thistle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 if you're called FC Dugshite or suchlike then by all means consider a rebrand, otherwise, is it really worth the effort? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they’ve done a big reveal before getting SFA approval, which they are far from guaranteed to get, is a gamble to say the least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have called themselves Caledonian Locos then. A bit like Inverurie of that ilk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rebrand is because the youth club that originated the Rossvale identity joined the WoSFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Bit daft to announce it before SFA approval is it not? Stupid fucking decision anyway, there already is a Caley Thistle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok in that case it's probably fair enough. I was thinking it was another shettleston situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, just like with BSC/Broomhill, Syngenta & Harmony Row. There's been a split between the youth club that originated the adult teams. What was Rossvale Juniors is keeping it going like Broomhill as a strange vanity project at this point. As it's not like they have a ground or identity to tap into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought St.Rollox has long been associated with the area. There you have it. St.Rollox Locomotive Works. Shortened to St.Rollox LM. Much more imaginative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
