Not satisfied with just being plain old 'Town' or 'United' - I see that Welsh club Flint have called themselves Flint Town United.

They were a merger of Flint Town and Flint Athletic - admittedly Flint Athletic didn't do too well out of the merger with regard to the new club's name!

There was also briefly a Chichester City United. I suspect my idea of a Manchester merger with Manchester City United playing in yellow and black hoops at the Commonwealth Games Stadium, nicknamed the Bees, probably won't get off the ground! The only really successful merger in Britain, I think, has been Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Dagenham and Redbridge are back at the level of the old Dagenham - though admittedly the Bury "merger" could be a success!

It should be remembered that Dagenham are a merger of four clubs, the other three being Walthamstow Avenue, Leytonstone, and Ilford. And the latter pair of those had themselves merged.

Indeed we played Leytonstone & Ilford away in a trophy game. As Max Boyce would say, I was there.

Wilma, the Tea Lady at Flint, told me that they are also known as 'The Stones'

Perhaps the most appropriate now given our recent signings would be Altrincham Celts.

Indeed - Amaluzor had a brief spell at Motherwell I notice.
