The return of Airdrieonians
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I suppose if Rangers can keep their name then Airdrie should be allowed to revert back to Airdrieonians. Whats good for the goose and all that

Is it not a case of the former club / company having to fully complete the liquidation process, once that's done the name is an asset that can be bought?
Fiorentina bought back their name a few years ago, after reforming as Florentina Viola.
But then after Rangers basically ignoring all that and generally not even using their daft 'The Rangers' get out they may as well be allowed to use their original name too.

The liquidation took over 10 years to complete!

Chairman Jim Ballantyne explained, "When the old company went into liquidation, it was in a different football environment and the use of the name was not possible at that time.

Anyone who remembers their team of ex-Yam thugs in the early 90s will not want to see them return.
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Personally I never liked Airdrie or playing them but the town of Airdrie should be able to host a decent First Division side playing a mixture of Part time & Full Time players like Raith Rovers do.
So if them getting their name and crest back brings them closer to their local community and results in more people from Airdrie & Lanarkshire getting off their backsides on a Saturday and going to watch their local team then that's a good thing IMHO.

Best thing that ever happened to them was going bust, hopefully something similar will happen again to them soon.

I didn't think we'd hear of Aidrieonians again. Wasn't Airdrie United a franchise set up to replace Clydebank in the SFL?HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

Will never forget an away day to airdrie after we got relegated to divi one...
im sure - They had a new stadium ( quite impressive at the time ) and we took Quite a large away support - if i remember rightly...
Anyway - one largish Hibee down near the front row - wasny quite happy at us winning the game and was shouting his effing all at someone or something - and his Wallies flew out and landed on the trackside..
This wee youngish security weegie burd had to go and pick up his false teeth and hand them back to the guy...
Priceless moments..
