    Can we please settle this?

    Is it Bonti, Bonty or Bonts?

    I like Bonts. It seems Bonti is most used though.

      BT, did you just make up Bonty to get a third option?
      More of an In Bruges guy?

          Boyd calls him Bonti.
          The curse is dead.

              It's Bonti.

                  That's right. His nickname around the club is Bonti or Bonty... I'm not sure they've put a convention on the spelling!

                      Kind of, people used to call Aker, Acker on the forum. I don't know where that little 'c' came from, but I don't want a repeat, surely consensus can be reached. if it's Bonti, I say it's an 'I'. Banners and cheer squad stuff will have his name on stuff for a generation.

                          I know the club call him bonti, I prefer Bonts.

                              Just to buck the trend, I starting calling him Pele on Sunday.

                                  It's "Bonti" at the club, case closed.

                                      4th option

                                      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                                          I don't care what the players call him....he's Bonts to me.
                                          I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                                              I hadn't seen that, that's a 4th for sure.

                                              I'm still with Bonts, but Bonti can be used easier for banners (rhymes easier) and by journos etc, ie 'The Bonti Hunter' etc.

                                                      Who cares? call him what u will. Eventually the dust will settle.

                                                          This is not designed to be too serious. Along the lines of 'a Rose is a Rose by another name'. It just is.
