Whilst many other Firms have retained the same name throughout their history such as the Chelsea Headhunters or the Inter City Firm who follow West Ham, there have been a number of names for the various firms who follow Blackpool—Rammy Arms Crew, Bennys Mob, BISONS (or Bisons Riot Squad), and now The Muckers.
