This does seem a rather spiteful resolution. Why are fully grown adults seeking to take away a mascot that brings joy to hundreds of kids every game? Do they also not realise/care the cost and time implications it will cause the club and the Junior Dragons?

I don't recall the fanbase being consulted or any vote on a resolution to ditch Rockin and replace him with a Dragon - I stand to be corrected.
I suggest we didn't have one because in reality Rockin would have been the winner - instead the dragon was steamrolled through under the heading of 'rebranding'.

I agree about not wasting too much club time and essentially money on making changes - but, tongue in cheek whilst we are happy to celebrate our heritage and discovery that we were formed in 1864 we were far to quick to distance ourselves from our traditional nickname 'The Robins'.

Cardiff are still the Bluebirds, Swansea the Swans - they for some reason didn't rush off to rebrand themselves using a dragon so why did we ?

Heard that if Fezbob gets a whiff that this is likely to come down on the side of Wrex he's going to stand up at the AGM and filibuster until 4am to block the vote...

What's traditional about the 'Robins' . It's still only around 50 years old and most of the older fans always have and will call us The Town.

If the motion was about changing the official nickname that might get a different response, however this is specific to mascots.
