[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1058367, member: 58362"] 07/08 in the old National 1. I think that it was around then that they received a cease and desistletter from the NZRU. I can't remember how it was resolved, but they still use the name. It would be a rough trick to Exeter to pinch the name of a side 40 miles or so down the road, although they're already standing on the toes of other westcountry clubs who refer to their first team as the "chiefs" by claiming it as their own. If someone in my home town asks me who "the chiefs" are playing today, I would tell them that they're away to Esher today. I don't think there's anything CABs could do though, Taunton adopted the ***ans moniker while they were at level four, despite the fact that Rotherham were already using it at level 2. Presumably they couldn't think of anything else starting with a "T"! [/QUOTE]
