Talk:Western Clydesdales

Notable Players
A notable players section in this article would be extensive and worth adding I think.--Jeff79 19:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Moving page to Western Clydesdales
Currently, the name of the page is "Toowoomba Clydesdales" (TC), the body of article refers to the "Western Clydesdales" (WC) and the info box mostly refers to the TC.

I think either the page needs to be moved to "Western Clydesdales", or there needs to be two separate articles: one for the defunct TC, and one for the current WC.

The key issue is whether the WC are a successor club to TC. After some research, I believe it is clear that WC can be reasonably seen as a successor club to TC, and so a move should occur.

I note:


 * WC comms hold it out as a return to the QRL, and lay claim to previous TC titles


 * official sources such as the QRL and local government discuss WC's inclusion as a return


 * while the incorporated association that operated TC was folded, the logo trade mark remains registered to Toowoomba Rugby Football League Limited (TRL); TRL kept the Clydesdales name alive after the QRL club folded, with the name used for Toowoomba rep sides, with TRL appearing to have had control over the WC Facebook page (then called "Toowoomba Clydesdales") through that time; there is significant cross-pollination of board members/directors; it isn't clear what the exact relationship is or when there was a "hand over" of the name, but based on the above it can be concluded that a relationship exists


 * in any case, the treatment of the Glebe Dirty Reds "revival" provides some guidance for a situation where there isn't a clear legal/institutional link between the defunct and new clubs

Accordingly, unless there's any dissent, I would propose to move this page to Western Clydesdales. PresidentBartlet (talk) 05:52, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
