I like Virgil's idea of using the Frederick Rinder quote. Can we have a poll?

I don't have any constructive suggestions to put forward at the moment, but please steer whoever is making the decision far away from the one in your first post...it's even harder to think of something more bland, boring, corporate  and generic than that.

Also just for clarity, who is the "we" and "them" in this group of ppl that you are representing in this project?

A catchy line associated to pride and Lions is the best suggestion so far.

If it's down at the lower North stand, how about "Can you hear the Holte End sing?!" :D

We already have a 'do you want to bet against us?' banner in the Lower Holte. I spent most of last season looking at it and thinking 'No - there's no way you can get any decent odds'.

What about no slogan at all?

I find this all a bit cringy really in our current predicament.

I'd use the John Gregory quote

"Form is temporary, class is permanent" just about sums the club up lately I suppose.  It's all a bit cringeworthy though.

Yeah it's not easy to come up with something that doesn't sound cheese and cringeworthy, particularly if the banner needs to be quite long to span the width of the stand. Something football and lion related similar to the current promotional slogan could work...

ROAR WITH PRIDE, PLAY WITH PASSION...FIGHT LIKE LIONS!!!

...alternatively, a list of our honours but that would just be a reminder of how crap we've been this century.

What was the Benjamin Zephaniah quote, the Mighty, magnificent Aston Villa one?

If we have to have one why not go for a bit of self deprecating humour.
