I wouldn't go near the f***ing place if they were that stupid and called it that. Call one of the shitters Dick Shite would be better

I said name is AFTER whoever pays us the most. Not name is Whoever pays us the most.

RUDDY hell.

Why not if they offer the most sponsorship?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

If the best sponsorship we can get is from a small-time IT company then Poundland might not be too far wide of the mark!

 

[deano seagulls]

Yes i'm not that impressed with the sponsor - especially when we have Legal & General with us a well

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Im grateful they stepped in when nobody else wanted to but I can't imagine it is a big money deal and the logo looks terrible...

Was there no-one else then ?

I guess they must have offered the club the best deal even if there was someone else.

I did hear from someone at the club that we were trying to get a more well-known sponsor (FourFourTwo magazine I think) to take over from Skint but that they didn't take us up on it.

How much truth is in that I don't know.

 

[deano seagulls]

Still its only a 2 year deal, anyway isn't it

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I think someone on here said it was a one year deal with the option for a second year.

Bit of an arse for the people who buy new kits this year if they decide not to take up the option of a second year.

I guess if Falmer is nearer and we get promoted a bigger deal may be available to us for next season.

 

[deano seagulls]

That could possibly be why i think some of the kit is only for a year

Another Dick Tight rip off, change sponsor next summer and all 3 kits obsolete

It is an American thing, to name stadia after their sponsors.
The worst example perhaps, is "3com Stadium".

Not that it's not done here, with '02 Arena' being an example, but .....it's not a particularly attractive name.
We should do all we can though, to compete on the financial front, so product placement is going to be a necessary evil. Sony, or Toshiba Stadium? Alright, but then we couldn't install any Panasonic monitors, or a Hitachi scoreboard/replay screen.

It would be nice if we could start out, at least, with a more personal name, like e.g. 'The Helmstone Stadium', a name from our City's olde title of Brighthelmstone.
It reflects on the Goldstone memory too, in some way.

Then, Sony or Mitsubishi can put big flashy signs up all they like - but we'll always know the proper title.

It seems to have worked for Manchester United for all these years, regardless of how their Ernests (bigtime ones) may have
