The Football League is rebranding .... err to the English Football League

for the first time, each club will be presented with its own bespoke version (of the logo) in its individual playing colours, ahead of the new season, for it to retain in perpetuity.

Cardiff & Newport might be a little peeved, Wrexham won't seek promotion as actively, and Swansea will be doing their level best to stay in the Premiership (or is that already the 'English' Premiership).

Reminds me of the day Bangor City were kicked out of the Northern Premier League.
Caernarfon Town opted to stay in the English Non League Pyramid system (albeit briefly) but were forced to play their home games in England. They had to groundshare at Curzon Ashton (I'm sure it was?) and we played them in an NPL Cup match one evening which was watched by a pitifully small crowd.

Tommy Robinson as the new Chairman?

Newport might not need to worry about that the way they're shaping...

The renaming of the Football League to the English Football League (EFL) is "insulting" to Welsh clubs, says the chairman of Cardiff City Supporters' Trust.
The competition will take its new title from the end of the 2015-16 season.
The league's 72 members include Newport and Cardiff, whose Supporters' Trust chairman has criticised the rebranding.
"It's a little bit insulting that both Welsh clubs will be classed as English," Tim Hartley said.
"The rebranding will make a lot of money for companies making logos and headed paper but will do nothing for teams playing in the three divisions. What's the point?
"The Football League had status, we knew what it meant - why mess with a brand that clearly works?"
Cardiff City and Newport have yet to comment publicly on the decision, which was made after clubs, stakeholders, commercial partners and more than 18,000 fans were involved in a consultation process.
The individual league titles of the Championship, League One and League Two - introduced in 2004 - will remain.

I suppose they could always join the Welsh league if they're that insulted...
