It's a League of Ireland tradition and we are sticklers for tradition

Quite common in Italy too so it's a no brainer for Signor Wallace or whoever is nominally in charge if not him.

I've never had any problems with the crest, not even the blatant plagiarism of Torino, but the one thing i can never abide is that garish font. What is the bloody story with that? It's hideous!

We call it Torino Maroon

Home jersey is black with pink trim, away jersey is the reverse

Would have made more sense for them to change to purple and yellow I'd have thought.

I thought a good choice for the new name would be County Wexford FC

We've changed our name, not our code

Wexford FC is a club, not a county side

So now only Bray and Cabinteely have joined the First Division and not gone bust since. And neither has been particularly robust in the past couple of years.

But the FAI's solution to this issue is to expand the Graveyard and hope the problem goes away.

Makes sense.

Would I be right in saying this would have been Wexford Youths 10th year in the league?

10th anniversary in March. We completed 10 seasons. I think there is an accepted waiting period of 2 years in LOI, where a club forgets it is a new entity and absorbs the history of it's predecessor. We won't be any different.

Just like Boyzone, the names Youths was getting that bit more unbelievable as the years went by....

Pride, passion and commitment keeps a club strong and can take generations to forge, success can be only fleeting.

True.

But clubs which change their name regularly are unlikely to engender much enduring pride, and are hardly showing commitment to themselves even ! :)

I don't think dropping the 'Youths' from the team name will hurt them. If anything, dropping it is an improvement.

When things were going well the name Longford 'town' didn't stop bus loads from coming down from outside of the county let alone the town itself as we had regular busses from Strokestown in county Roscommon among other places while we had supporters from Leitrim and Westmeath. After relegation a lot of that support dwindled away and I would say the Majority of our current support base is from the town. Personally I feel the club don't do anything to entice people from outside the town at present. Today Galway united announced supporters busses running from all over the county to their first home game to go along with the excellent signage they have put up around local clubs to promote the teams home games. Hope it's a success for them.
