I'm in the final stages of completing the marauder section of my Alternative SGUK and oddly enough have just changed the name of a group of football thugs from their real name to a fictional alternative as the more I thought about it the more it seemed like a better idea not to use the real name for several reasons (I must admit that one such reason was that I was concerned that using the real name might lead to people doing a google search for that name finding their way here, and they may not be the sort of people that we would want to attract).

So yeah, whilst I have been guilty of using real names myself, I think I can understand why it's not such a good idea.
