Should Reading add Royal in front of their name?

In light of the sorrowful and mournful news of our late Queen Elizabeth two, I think it would be fitting to add Royal in front of our name (like Royal Wootten Bassit) and change our colors to purple and platinum. (Specifically Pantone 3515 C) This will grow Reading as a club to counter the more evil teams out there like Celtic who hate the monarchy.

So new name Royal Reading FC Royals

Adds a little flair like Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid

A question that only an American would ask.

You do realise Mary Poppins isn't a documentary?

Royal Reading Town FC Royals

All for it and think we should make a big thing about the Town bit as well. Who wants to be a city anyway. Just be a huge massive Town instead

Blue Collar should be renamed Purple collar food and the Jazz Cafe should be renamed Lizzies

It’s probably the right time to swap Sweet Caroline to God save the King before the game kicks off as well

We should change our name to Queen Elizabeth II. Anyone who boos a bad result will be arrested and thrown in jail.

Instead of programmes, every game has a commemorative plate with a sketch of Her Majesty and dogs walking into the horizon with a soccer ball. Etched with the starting 11 and a few ads. And the lyrics to God Save the Queen so instead of people just making sounds/mouthing they can sing the actual lyrics before every game, and substitution.

Towns with Royal as a prefix are awarded it, they don’t just decide to add it for a laugh.

I didn't vote as there wasn't an "Ian Royal should be Queen" option.

I was going to say that we should only add 'Royal' if we also add 'Ian'

Rubbish idea.

We are in the Royal County, that's enough. Even Windor, the residence of the Royals in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead doesn't have a Royal prefix.

If the Royals want to do something for Reading, how about city status? - At least it will stop the council wasting effort trying to get it every other year.

Royal Reading doesn't sound too good.

Reading Royals would be better, but can't have that as name is already taken and registered with the FA for the Futsal Team.

Reading Town should also have first dibs on Reading City, if City status is ever awarded
