Nay,Nay and thrice Nay.

Though with the influx of American owners into the Premier League I am worried that we will be forced down the NFL style name change...

A la Green Bay Packers how about Aston Hall Aborealogists? Lozells Road Rioters? Aston Clarets? Gravelly Hill Stray Dogs?

Over to you

Congratulations.
With just two weeks to go to the end of the year it looks like you have blown all the competiton out the water to run away with  the "Most bloody stupid suggestion on H & V in 2011" award.
An award I had an eye on myself when I was planning to start a thread to re-instate David O'Leary as team manager with Steve Hodge as his assistant.
Sir, I concede to your obviously superior lunacy.

WTF. Just got out of bed and found this thread.
I'll go back to bed now and hopefully wake up in the real world.

I think the OP should take some time to read up on the history of the parish of Aston and the formation of what we now regard as Birmingham.

A silly proposal but probably one born out of a position of ignorance.

Just logged on and spotted this. What a load of bollocks. Why on earth would anyone even think of suggesting changing one of the most iconic club names in the entire history of football. Beggars belief.

Why not drop the name of the city and call it Aston Villa?  It would make far more sense.

“There’s an aura about this club, a sense of history and tradition. Even the name is beautifully symmetrical, with five letters in each word.”    -    John  Gregory.
