relámpago blanco Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 How much would it cost if we all chipped in and renamed it "Mike your a fat c**t, just f**k off and die" stadium 4M? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not bothered to be honest. He can name it whatever he wants - it'll still be known as St James' to us - same happened with the John Hall Stand - people still call it the Leazes. Listening to Talk Sport and Sky, and the comments coming from rival fans.....actually waiting for some genuine humourous comments, but none happened. All spiteful ranting that had no humour whatsoever. Even Alan Brazil seemed baffled at the vindictive spite. "Dear dear" was all he commented !

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Imagine the little internal cringe of pain though, everytime a TV station or radio presenter mentions Sports Direct Park. It doesn't bear thinking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED209 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am thinking is i might put a bid in to rename St James park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Funnily enough I think this issue is one that fan protests could have an impact on. No sponsor wants to piss off hundreds of thousands of customers... a pledge never to refer to the new name or use the products of the sponsor might have some effect on potential suitors.

samag Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 If we had been taken over by a foreign investor, it more than likely that they would have done the same thing. It is a lot more common around the world than many people think. It is an easy way to raise money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 What if, for the one year as suggested, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation paid £1m for it or something. They'd make a shitload in donations. The Sir Bobby Robson Stadium The only thing it could be changed to without chaos. no no no. i'm already against naming the east stand after sir bobby never mind having the ground named after him!!

BlueStar Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's going to be something as humiliating ala the yellow strips, you can see it coming. It'll be some Chinese company called Wang or something, it's got to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Commercial suicide for any potential sponsors, I'd have thought. Brings about as much prestige to your brand as sponsoring Robert Mugabe. Not only can you be associated with a joke of a football club as it goes through its worst period in recent history, but you can alienate hundreds of thousands of potential consumers and step right into the firing line. Can't see them queuing up for that sweet deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also thought that in the current climate it would be difficult to find a sponsor and the money would probably not be that great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 If we had been taken over by a foreign investor, it more than likely that they would have done the same thing. It is a lot more common around the world than many people think. It is an easy way to raise money Please show me a big club with a big history and a over 100year stadium who have sold its name? Also, to all of you who say that they dont care, or dont see the problem with this, go drown yourself in the tyne please. This is a matter of ther history of the club, its the center of all we support, and to sell that out like a whore is a shame. I say that from Norway, i can`t possible imagin how it would feel to walk by the stadium with a fucking neon sign with "McDonalds burgershop stadium" each day, as some of you do, sickening, a constant reminder of the fat asshols fuckups, he`s legacy so to say.
