In last Saturday's Daily Mail, Judith Addison answered a question about the reason for Fleetwood supporters being called The Cod Army. In less polite circles they are called Cod Heads. Both of these names are of relatively modern origin. They didn't exist in the 1970s.I suspect they arose at the time that the Press were referring to 'The Cod wars' when British boats were banned from Icelandic waters.
