    It still is in some circles. Some of the matchday threads have been titled Colliers. V ?
    Not heard many refer to us as Colliers since probably late eighties early nineties .
    But the list you have just says Colliers and it’s always been the Colliers or Tykes on most old lists/programmes Ive seen
