Stadium Name

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

To the fans it will just be Falmer

How about The Falmer?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

The Townsend Thorensen Stadium

I see what you did there

So you think we should turn away companies that offer big money for their name on the stadium signs?

I think Tony Bloom has the right to recoup some of the VAST outlay he has personally stumped up to get this thing built. Yes the campaigning by the fans was essential, but at the end of it all, without TB's cash, it'd just be a hole in the ground. He's got every right to sell the rights.

It could be like Leyton for example, with out sponsorship it is Brisbane Road (i know its cos its on Brisbane road) with the sponsorship matchroom stadium or something like that. So basically we can give it a name, and if some rich company comes and ploughs money in as a sponsor it will be known as that officially but will always be known affectionally as the name we gave it (or voted for)

Brisbane Road has got a history, and up until recently was ALWAYS known as Brisbane Road, and probably still is amongst their fans. Our new stadium will have no history whatsoever. I get the feeling whatever the first corporate name the new stadium gets give, is what the fans will know it as from there on, even if they change it in a few years.

Arsenals will probably always be known as The Emirates amongst their fans, even if the sponsorship changes in 15 years time when the deal expires.

Good point, so i guess we've got to hope for the right company name in that case

And how.

It will have a commercial name but I'm sure some wit on Nsc will come up with a nickname - Ernest or Easy 10, and it will forver be known by that name.

'The Community Stadium' is very happy-clappy isn't it. That really does sound a bit shit. Sounds like a local youth club.

In that case, we could call it 'The People's Stadium'. Same context, different word.

I still like the Spanish/Uruguyan equivalent of its location - 'Estadio Universidad'.

Simply trips off the tongue.

Falmer sounds a good name and most obvious choice barring a sponsorship deal to me. We never called St. Mary's its official name for its first few years of The Friends Provident St. Mary's Stadium. At one point it was going to be just The Friends Provident Stadium until fans kicked up a fuss to get the St. Mary's added and the sponsor was ignored.

Should be called the 'Up yours you NIMBY bastards' Stadium.

If it wasn't such a hugely dissapointing album I'd suggest Palookaville
