Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

Don't give them a regional name, FFS.

Devils Disciples required - No initiation ceremony needed just enter AJ Bell Stadium on Gameday to be accepted.

As they already have the name Northampton Demons - with an under age side Northampton Knights -
with a Demons badge as per website I cannot see why the need for a change.
It could possibly be because the new owner wants to incorporate them into the soccer club.
If so,it looks possibly like their new name will be Northampton Town RL Club.

With the RU club named Northampton Saints it may be advisable to have RL in the name,to establish the separate identity.

As it is just over a mile from Franklin Gardens,the home of the RU Club it may be worth incorporating part of the Sixfields Stadium name into the club title.

FLEETMASTER STAND THE HOME OF THE NORTHSTANDERS

"Quote" But perhaps most impressive is another bumper Wildcats home crowd – 9,237 for a Saturday TV game in the cold and wet is a fine effort from one of Super League’s most progressive clubs "Gareth Walker the Mirror"

On the flip side of the coin!

Re: Choose Northampton's name! : Wed Jan 04, 2012 12:29 pm  
Due to the Saints being so close by then I think either:

RLFC Northampton or RLFC Northampton Cobblers.

By putting the RLFC first it will help with marketing.

NO! Don't give them a regional name!

Northampton Town RLFC would be my choice.

I think they shouldn't make it too much like the football club, avoiding 'Town' & 'Cobblers'.

Here are a few:-

Northampton RL - nice & simple.

Northampton Roundheads - referring to the towns support of the parliamentarians in the civil war.

Northampton Sixers - after the stadium.

Northampton Nuggets :wink: - after the Denver Nuggets NBA team.

Northampton Mercians

I quite liked the 'Pioneers' idea too.
