Everton FC in battle with village farm shop over its name

[Prevenger17]

Totally ridiculous, the club needs to get a grip here.

Agreed. This woman's shop is siphoning money from our name every day it exists, and it needs to be destroyed. Destroyed NOW.

We should make here work matchdays behind a counter in the lower Bullens pulling Chang for the baying hordes as her penance.

She needs to disappear, Doug. What if Yarmolenko signs for us, takes a wrong turn and ends up at the Everton Farm Shop? He plays the rest of his career kicking a ball against a wall and wondering where it all went wrong.

This sounds like a rejected Day Today sketch.

As has been said by many this is poor PR and perhaps the club could've been softer by stating their reasons why and perhaps offering her a free advertisement in the club programme in exchange rather than being bullish up front.

I can drive to that farm in less than 15 minutes, really is a small village with very little else.

I'm no expert, but it would seem foolish for the Club to not protect its trademark.

Everton have been reasonable;



By allowing her trademark 'Everton', would there be potential implications in the future?

Ridiculous to think you could even consider attempting to trademark a placename. So pathetic of the hierarchy of this club.

 

[GraemeS1980]

words cannot describe, Elstone out!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Terrible decision by the club. Can't see how they've got a legal leg to stand on if the name of the village is Everton.

 

[SailorBlue]

There's another Everton village in Hampshire near the new forest. We cannot claim we own the name. Kopite behavior by the club

 

[Walter Ego]

I say we muster up some of our top boys and take a trip down there. They'll never be able to compete with our numbers down on the farm. Watch out for Jethro though, he's flooking massive.

Half close the shutters as well, to give her the full LB experience.

 

[Furey1878]

Disgrace of a woman, she should be hunted down and stoned to death with Everton mints.

Silly as this sounds, Everton do need to challenge these sort of things

If they let her get away with it, it sets a precedent for other people to do it also

Only if they live in a place called Everton.

It's not the name the clubs challenging, it's the way they've put the name on their logo
