Stadium Name

[Nordic Gull]

Just read that the official name of Falmer is going to be "The Community Stadium":

I didn't realise this had been decided for certain. Is anyone else a bit disappointed?

It' so generic and dull. Doesn't have any sense of identity for the club or the town. Plus Colchester's ground is already called that.

I know it's a stadium for the community etc, and that's a good thing. But surely we could be more inventive?!

I agree it's a bit crap. They'll just put the sponsors name in front of it and call it 'The Legal and General Community Stadium' or something.

I think it will always be Falmer to us though.

I was disappointed to hear it too. Im sure with enough lobbying we can make the club at least consider something else. After all, whatever its called they can still stick a sponsors name in front of it

How about the bet365@falmer.com Stadium?

 

[Nordic Gull]

Much better!!

Absolutely f***ing shit name.

I hope to f*** that isn't actually what its going to be called , more just what the club will refer it to.

Was hoping for something like the 'new goldstone' etc

 

[Marc1901]

shouldnt we do what wigan have done and called it the DK stadium ?

The EDF Community Stadium is a possibility so I have been led to believe.

The Sponsers name Falmer Community Stadium.

If it does stay as The Community Stadium, im guessing the fans will still have their own name for it. Probably just carry on calling it Falmer.

I guess its better than calling it The Hovis bread Stadium!

Neve have liked the idea of sponsored stadiums.

I would presume "we" would always call it Falmer, whatever the official name is.

It's like Colchester is the 'Western Homes' Community Stadium, It wouldn't be called the new Goldstone as that idea was turned down at the roadshow in Hove Town Hall.

It'll be 'Company Name' Community Stadium.

So it's going to have the same name as another ground? brilliant

I doubt it L&G are skint with a capital S. They struggle to afford pens and pencils for thier staff at the mo.

Amex Community Stadium

Amex Community Stadium

That had been agreed, but they can no longer afford it

It was only an example. How about 'The Kwik-fit Community Stadium'?

I will almost definitely be calling our new stadium 'Falmer'. Unless the new name it is given turns out to be immense, but i highly doubt it will.

Have people been living under a rock for the last 3 months? This is old news!

How about 'Keith Community Stadium'?
