Snowflake Royal What about FYDY Reading

Fuck You Dai Yonnge

Or to please Brighton etc Al

Tinpot Reading


The FA's Competitions Committee also has jurisdiction over the names of clubs applying to join leagues - they can veto proposed club names or name changes. A few years ago Whitehawk FC wanted to change to "Brighton City" but were advised that wouldn't be allowed, so anything vaguely insulting would likely get the same treatment.


The Jockey Club have to approve all race horse names, but it doesn’t take much creativity to get things past them ( I can’t remember if it was Robbie Fowler or Michael Owen who owned a horse called Hoof Hearted).
A name incorporating a derogatory reference to DY that would be clear to fans but get past the Board of Censors shouldn’t be difficult to come up with.


A few years ago a horse called "Country Member" had quite a bit of success...

If this happens, wherever we play should be called (or at least nicknamed) "The Library" as Reading (the place) is often confused with reading (the pass time) plus when opposition fans sing "Is this a library?" we can sing back "Yes it is!"

Should definitely get Reading Bedding on board as shirt sponsors, guaranteed sales in the club shop.

Depending on the level we drop to, ‘northern’ might mean Chinnor or Wallingford.

I once started a group on Love@Lycos called Reading Bedding, named in all innocence after the shop. Did get quite alot of people joining at the time, surprising an even male/female split (at least on the meat ups) and there was quite a bit of bedding going on in Reading as a result.

That was the 90's/00's young people, before tinder and stuff.

In the vernacular, he fucked around and he found out.
Other people likely can tell the story better.

Only if they go against legal advice.
Hopefully nobody still has a copy of the video on their devices.
