start a silly thread like this if it fills in between visits to the specialist fella but get your facts correct !

I remember that HULL were at one time the SHARKS!

Dear Crackerjack,

I think the specialist fella might be more busier than you think. There seems to be many suitable cases for treatment out there given that some people seem to be easily impressed with names like Giants, Bulls, Vikings... etc. Also you are right about Hull 'Sharks'. Anyhow, someone needs to explain to me that if disneyfying club names is such a good thing. How come none of EPL teams have done it yet?

Dear Sgnt Bilko,

I understand that Huddersfield is the spiritual home of R.L. The George Hotel, 1895, The Northern Union etc.. Where does the word 'Giants' fit into that great tradition? I agree with you Fartown would be a better suffix. It is not unknown to suffix a district onto the town/city name Hull KR, Preston NE, Plymouth Argyle, Bradford Northern!!, Liverpool Stanley (a district of Liverpool, later to become City).

Well, whatever he called them after the wigan game seemed to work
