I know things have already been said-what am i about to say, but i would like to voice my opinion on the matter.
After all this has happened, i was happy that it was changed to Melbourne City due to the fact that i wanted the name from the start.
I believe things have to grow on people. Going to the Newcastle game and seeing the white strips being worn kind of lost me. I still definitely feel City is connected to Heart BUT i feel as though we are in limbo in terms of identity, though the connection is there seeing people wear the Heart merch to the games.
It has to grow on the fans and it will, whether you stay and support the club or not.
PS- just quickly, believe that the active support/fans should have been named something to do with the name 'Heart' especially if you're going to keep chanting the 'Heart' on game day.
