greenun Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Dear All,In order to take the Trust Initiative forward, the Working Party need YOUR help to find the all important name.Sadly those upstarts at Cheltenham Town have just registered The Robins Trust, so the bird has well and truly flown. However, with the creative genius of forum members I'm sure you can come up with something better.To salivate your imaginative juices, the following link lists the names of all the current Supporters Trusts (and their websites) in England and Wales.http://www.supporters-direct.org/englandwales/links.htmFurthermore, we'll also need a decent website address (domain name). Eg www.bcst.co.ukWe look forward to receiving your input.Kind regardsMark Tovey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were apparently toying with the name Southmead Hospital Independent Trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukejones2 Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Personally I like The Bristol City Trust or Trust Bristol City as a legal name.. straight forward and no need to be complicated in my opinion.For a website, I like Don'tTakeMyCityAway.... or as a strap line.

Milo Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 How about:Robins United(it describes the purpose of the Trust, uses a word with a strong football connotation, and allows the Trust to use a robin in its logo).Or:Robins Cousins(it describes the common bond of the supporters, allows us to use a Robin in the logo, and gives a nod to one of Bristol's true sporting legends and in so doing confirms that I am joking about this one!)

Guest DrFaustus Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 As your organisation aims to gain a small share ownership for the fans, why not..City Limited Intervention Trust Society. It would sum you all up beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
