A new nickname won't attract one extra supporter but it may lose a few. Winning teams and meaningful competition brings extra support.

For what its worth I think its a good name and I genuinely think if you use it right it can help grow your club. Hopefully the people who've remained loyal all these years can be at worst neutral (its just a name), but the appeal to kids in the local schools to be able to say they are going to see the Panthers might be greater than some think. Anyway good luck with it.

I personally think it is a good move by the club. A mixture of building what looks to be a decent squad with a new brand is a good start. But regardless of what marketing is done, nothing will market the club better than performances on the pitch.

But the club seems to have fresh new ideas and is being proactive which is a nice change to the plodding along of the last 10 or so years.

We have to make allowances and it's just that some people are not very intelligent.

I know I am, I recently did a jigsaw and it only took me a week and on the box it had said 3 to 5 years.

Just a bit of a left of field thought . Saw the neighbours young lad wandering to school with a hat on in the style of a fox . He thought it was super cool . Just thinking if the season ticket holders deal you got a panther hat for kids to end up running around promoting the brand . Clearly the design is key though and has been mentioned probably something less like a cat . I do think the mascot image needs rethinking to something more like an aggressive panther not a cuddly cat .
