I supported Gloucestershire from when I was 8 (50 years ago) because I lived there. I continued to follow them when I moved away. Now that I live in Canada, I periodically like to find out how they are doing as it is a trip down memory lane, but if the club ceases to be "Gloucestershire", there will really be nothing to draw me to see how this new club is doing.

Our club's name is Gloucestershire County Cricket Club and there's a clue there: County. The club has members and fans across Gloucestershire and beyond and most of us - including Bristolians - would feel no affiliation to a club called Bristol. If the club does this then it loses many of us, not just for T20 but full stop.

This proposed name change should never be allowed to happen. It has always been Gloucestershire and cannot be anything else.

We are associated with Gloucestershire and the ground just happens to be in Bristol.
Please don't copy Warwickshire where I don't think their change to Birmingham is really appreciated.
What horrible Bristol ........... would be thought up!?

I completely agree with you. I travel all the way to Bristol to volunteer because it is GLoucestershire.

Utterly disgraceful. Most of the support comes from the north of the county. Are they that desperate to attract support from Bristol and to hell with likes of us?

Absolutely ashamed that the club is even considering this. To read about this after such a promising year is so disappointing.
