Retire Nuneaton Borough
Views: 1284
In all seriousness,I really do think that it is the time now to retire the name Nuneaton Borough. Start a new football club by all means but please leave the name alone. The custodians of the past deserve it.

I get that 44 but my point was that the name be retired forever. BCFA could well in fact put a long time penalty on the re-use anyway given their record over the last 30-odd years.
I just feel that this is the right moment. Others will disagree.

It literally was and indeed still is! Boro Leisure trades as Nuneaton Borough!
Creditors are owed hundreds of thousands.
The Club hasn’t even gone into liquidation yet let alone be liquidated.
I can’t believe FA or HMRC are going to accept what is being proposed. Perhaps someone on Monday or Wednesday can explain how a Phoenix club can be created when the flames haven’t even been lit?

We have to assume that the liquidation process has commenced?
That will likely be a long process & shouldn't in my opinion stop the preparations for the formation of a new club.
That is all it is at the moment, a feasibility study.
We should know more next week, I presume, when both parties have explained their positions.

Why?
There are no directors and no person with significant control.
I understand to go into voluntary liquidation costs money.
Also, the same with a winding up order. Who is going to spend Money to try and get back money that does not exist

No thoughts to share on the past, only view on the future is that any phoenix club I will support is one that will be at least 51% fan owned and will set its aims and dreams on getting out of the division it is in and nothing more.
We have chased the dream too many times.
I'm confident there will be a football team in Blue And White starting the season in August to shouts of "Up The Boro".
I'm not confident it will be one I will be going out of my way to support.
But I absolutely reserve the right to be celebrating at some park pitch with a rope round it in late April singing "Boro are back" and "We are going up".

A creditor could apply to the Courts for a 'Winding-up Petition', it doesn't need Boro Leisure to initiate that action.
HMRC are usually the most likely contender.
Another likely contender could be the Bank, who hold a charge over the Company.
Unless, they are trying to work out a Creditor's Voluntary Liquidation, which comes back to my original point, as to whether discussions/negotiations are underway, which would be a private matter.

Not a thing for me, but…
Any club that claims to be a phoenix club will be known as the Boro.
Even Stafford (who have always been rangers for me) are known by locals as “the borough”. I think same at Stevenage.
Let’s not forget - Nuneaton 1st team was TOWN

I believe that the great tradition & history of Nuneaton Borough should continue & be a constant reminder to us all but the right to be called Nuneaton Borough should be earned.
We can lay our Club to rest & form a new Club but if we want to resurrect Nuneaton Borough, it should be as a result of the process that Bury AFC have just been through with the FA.
They have earned the right to be called Bury FC & Bury AFC's playing record has now been incorporated as a part Bury FC's playing record, great tradition & history.
IMO, we should not just seek to call ourselves Nuneaton Borough, that would be wrong.

I thought when you liquidated you couldn’t keep the name
Maybe I completely wrong here but I thought if a company like a football went bust and liquidated and owed a lot of money - if the club started again as the same name / same club then those people who were owed money could come for it again as you are the same club even though liquidated ——- basically cheated and lied people you owed money and only liquidated just to not pay the bills which is also illegal - but like I said maybe I’m completely wrong

When Ian Neale liquidated Nuneaton Borough, the FA prevented his new club from being called Nuneaton Borough, hence the name Nuneaton Town but after however many years (?) the FA allowed the club to revert to being called Nuneaton Borough.
I assume, like with Bury FC, that right had to be earned.

Urban Myth. Nothing to do with The FA
Views: 785
It was not the FA who who chose the Title "Town" or who prescribed that the word Borough could not be used. And that is why they were "allowed" to revert to it.
(Obviously) a name change was required. But there was no embargo on the word Borough being in the title.
I had this in writing from the FA. It could have been (for example) AFC Nuneaton Borough. Or variations on that theme. As with Halifax and Telford. And indeed, with Bury
I remain convinced that this urban myth was exploited as an opportunity to instigate a name change by yet more "businessmen " An ill fated merchandising strategy. Ill-fated because sales did not quite take off as expected.
Out of the 7,000 sorry 5,000 at the last play offs, how many "Town" shirts were worn?
Er....none.

Bury AFC adopted the name Bury FC & returned to Gigg Lane, prior to the start of the 2023/2024 season, following approval received from the FA on 5th June 2023.
Bury AFC's playing record was then included in the playing record for Bury FC.
I believe the Boro could be faced with a similar situation?
Edit:
I am sure Andy Walsh from the FSA could clarify the situation.
