I thought we might hear from you JR.
What I mean is, are the whole club going through a rebranding exercise, is it just their senior mens team, what colours will they wear, logo/badge etc etc?
I'm interested for two reasons.
1) I think it is a really great name, and excellent for marketing purposes. It also highlights how a lot of clubs have got this side of things wrong, for instance, Waitakere United is just plain unimaginative, Waitakere Rangers would have been so much better..
2) I now live in Glen eden, a stones throw from the club.
Any more info coming to light?
Derek.

I thought it was you, DW - there aren't too many Jam fans around and about!
The first I heard of this name change was in TKM's latest broadside on the Northern League situation. So I'm as much in the dark as you on this one.
Given they're based in the federation which is more concerned with "dumbing down" the game, rather than raising its profile and standards, I don't expect we'll hear a great deal more about it.
Cheers,
JR

Waitakere Rangers was the name given to the old National Basketball League Franchise back in the late 80s early 90s.
I understand that alot of the clubs out west have applied to have there federation staus changed and come under AFF rather than US1.
Western Tornadoes are Oratia, Te Atatu and 1 other but can't think.

I have no doubt he will. Free plums and rakia for all.
Three for me, and two for them.

I can just imagine it. There would be an enormous mountain of pamphlets available for the public to take home and hoard, and a quiz night every three hours.
The club wouldn't pay for anything, instead there would be a succession of favours asked for with regard to fee paying, strip borrowing etc. The club bar would stock nothing but apple juice and some old Joseph Kuhtze that was found at the back of the garage.
The club kit would be brown t-shirts, green shorts, orange socks and red boots and every refereeing decision ever made during their games would, of course, be wrong, given that said complainee has himself refereed a couple of over 30s games when no-one else could be arsed doing it and therefore knows all about it.
And there would be no need for the carpark anymore.

Yeah, there'd be a phone call;
"Yeah, Walker, Nola here. You going to the game tomorrow.
Yeah, thought I might.
Can you pick us up in the morning?
Um, ok, when and where?
Parrs Park Carpark.
errr, OK. who is "us"?
Senior Mens, reserves, physio, about ten committee members, some fans. And several boxes of pamphlets."
