The growth you guys do have has been in line with the other Sydney clubs...the ones who didn't piss away history for no good reason. Do you really think some kid in the Western Suburbs when he's at that age of picking a club will go "oh wow, those Sydney Roosters, they represent everyone, they're certainly not Bondi latte drinkers...I'll become a lifelong rooster fan now!"
It was a cheap and failed ploy. Do you really think ANYONE thinks you don't represent the Eastern Suburbs? You're Easts, deal with it.
We have widespread fans without changing our name to "Sydney Rabbitohs". We're proudly "Souths" and we've grown our support by being well managed.
You guys should proudly be "Easts" and grow your team the proper way, not in a sad way like changing your name that noone falls for. It's sad that the only other foundation club has messed with something as important as their name. I still hold out hope you will make the wise decision and change back one day like the Dogs and Tigers did.
I agree with BunniesMan. 'Sydney' Roosters is a bullsh*t name. If the club felt the need to change from Eastern Suburbs (which in a national comp context is reasonable), they should have changed to East Sydney.
