There really should be a thread to discuss how one's club should not be coterminous with its associated company registration. I'm sure it would make for a lively discussion.

Aye, I meant nearly 114 years (in April). I barely remember posting that to be fair. Oh ma heed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal entities embarking on a legally binding merger is a very different situation to a legal entity being created and swallowing up the assets of a defunct legal entity. Would you agree?

Mergers are a c**t. I still can't find the level of enthusiasm for the sport since Caley stopped playing. Even winning the big cup wasn't as good as watching an HFL title being lifted or even a qualifying cup being held aloft. The highlight of being an ICT supporter was beating Celtic in the cup semi final and Caledonian beating Airdrieonians at Telford St was far better than that.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 With all due respect calling a club that plays football in Aberdeen "Aberdeen Football Club" is a bit unimaginative "Orion" had more poetry to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What should have happened was Aberdeen and Victoria merged to form Bon Accord Caledonian Thistle and Orion should have renamed themselves Aberdeen Shamrock Harps so that we could have had a proper rivalry like other cities have, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
