would they prefer it if we stopped mentioning them all together and didn't buy Season tickets?

Worlds gone mad mate, mad I tell ya.
Wasnt like this under Moyes, we were free to discuss fixtures and players, but El Fraudo doesnt like us talking about fixtures cos it highlights what a massive waste of wages he is.

This sort of thing reminds me of my friend who ran an unofficial site for some Heavy Metal band called Rammstein. He put years of effort into this site, so much in fact that it became the number 1 unofficial site for the band and attracted them hundreds if not thousands of new fans in the process. Anyway, the band sued him for publishing annotated translations of their lyrics onto his site, which were meant to support non-German speaking fans. He wasn't in it for profit, just loved having a community of people who were as nuts for the band as he was.
Of course, he's not updated the site since 2009, and the band have lost a thriving community of followers in the process.
I'm sure you'll know what I'm getting at using this example in this thread, but I won't state it just in case that annoys them too.

The site would rightly get shut down.

I think you can get around it by simply using abbreviations, for example "EVE" for you know who...
So we can't display the crest of the club we support?
I absolutely hate how commercial football is. Take EA Sports FIFA for example. They own the rights to using all Premier League football clubs in their game. PES can't use them, and as someone mentioned earlier, has to change the names and crests. How can you own the right to display the name of something? Of course, it's legally justified, but it just isn't right at all.
The fact that the club is trying to stifle discussion of everything Everton related, all for a few pounds, is disgusting. Ashamed here.

I feel sorry for anyone who has the clubs crest tattooed on them in any way. Must be costing them a fortune.

I'm all for the club protecting it's image rights etc. However, I've no idea how they think that an Evertonian on a forum using the club crest as an avatar is going to
1. Cost them any revenue
2. Somehow damage the 'brand'
If someone from the clubs marketing or PR dept would care to shed some light on their logic then I'd love to hear it.
