Good luck to them so long as they don't go with the current incredibly boring trend of being called "FC", "City" or "United". Las Vegas Quicksilvers was the old NASL name so they should go with that I reckon.

I quite like the sound of "Viva Las Vegas Villa" 

Villa Las Vegas, surely?

Was going to suggest the same. Las Vegas Villains is nice though - makes it clear they're the tribute act.

Always surprises me that there are over a million people with an SE postcode in South East London. That’s as big as Brum yet the 3 football teams are all relatively poorly supported despite a massive catchment area.

There are over 400,000 in the Dudley postcode area with no representation in the top five divisions. Do many in South London support teams north of the river?

Quite a lot I'd say.

It’s strange. Millwall are by far the biggest supported team in Lewisham and probably some parts of Bromley. It’s just that none of them seem to go to the games.

I like it but they may not like the criminal connotations. Given the the popularity of animal names in US sport the 'Las Vegas Lions' could be part of the Pride.

They don't want to get mixed-up with the shitty element of racists at matchday?

Anybody complaining about goings on at Villa Park should just read this and say "Thanks" to Wes and Naseef.

My grandfather is from Lewisham and, before dementia, he supported Fulham. He's pretty old-school, conservative, ex-army, but he was always the most anti-racist person I knew growing up. Any racism and he would fly off the handle completely.

Apart from the Irish. Today, he can't wipe his own arse, but he still tells "the one about the Irish firing squad" ("they stood in a circle").

Edit: not entirely relevant, but his anti-racism could be why he didn't follow Millwall.

Well that's now my postcode, and travel 250 miles to Villa Park and back every other week.

Las Vegas Lions. That's the winner for me.

FFS, can't even sign Morrisons now. NSWE out!

There was a story on the local radio Wednesday that we'd lost 14m in beer and pie sales since Covid. Haven't seen it reported anywhere else.

I'd prefer Las Vegas Villans.

I know therer's some debate over Villains vs Villans, but I'll always think Villans is the correct version.

Who ate all the pies, then?

My dad would thoroughly agree with you there - always writes it 'Villans'.  I think it's the correct version too, by the way, but thought I was in a minority of 1 (well, 2) there.

Dunno. From memory it was about 10m in alcohol and 4m in pies during the COVD period. They may have performed some accountancy jiggery-pokery and amortised the fall in pies revenue over the remaining years left of Bruce's contract.
