Fenham Mag Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Looking on the bright side its not as bad as naming the stadium after another teams stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 We almost moved out of St James' when Sir John ran the club and the only people bothered were people (Dolly Potter and Co) who would have had nowhere to take dogs for a shit. I don't remember too many fans complaining that we would have possibly moved to a new ground which would have almost certainly have had a new name.

You would expect it to have a new name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 A new ground would be totally different though. You would expect it to have a new name. The end result would have been almost the same though, at least we can still call it St James' Park, we wouldn't have been able to if Sir John had got his way.

Pav Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 How people can not care about this is beyond me, small minority or not. I'll actually go out on a limb and say anyone who isn't bothered about those cunts changing the name of our stadium aren't proper fans, and I say that without any hint of sarcasm. This has fucked me right off, there will be fucking hell to pay next time we're at St. James. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Lets just hope the NUST actually do something worthwhile, and buy the rights. An even better idea would be, not to buy the whole club, but buy a share within the club, with part of the deal being that the stadium nameing rights are run by the NUST side, meaning that we could just keep the name. It wold also mean that the fans still have a say in the club, but we won't have to find thousands of fans with a spare £20,000 each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Naming rights for an existing stadium are worth shite all, because everyone uses the old name. Cisco Park / Budwieser Stadium etc might work on a new stadium that nobody knows, but people will still call SJP SJP, which sponsors know, and is reflected in the price. Has the club spoken publically about this? If so, Christ, now low rent and tacky, and what a gigantic cunt Ashley is. If not, he's still a gigantic cunt.

Mick Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Selling the name is no different to selling the shares to the stock exchange. I wouldn't go that far as it does seem to piss off a lot of people, few fans were too bothered about the sale of shares on the stock market. I can understand why some people are pissed off, it just doesn't bother me if it helps the club, my only problem is that I'm not too sure that we'll see any benefit. I think it will just mean Ashley having to put less in, I hope that I'm wrong because if that's the case then we've gained nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things connect the events, the soul of the club was put in jeopardy (the first time it prompted Keegan to leave) and they both raise funds that would otherwise not be there. We were big spenders until the money from the floatation ran out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The Club aims to maximise its commercial revenues; this includes renegotiating its Club sponsor and kit deal, which expire at the end of this season, as well as welcoming offers for the stadium naming rights for next season. The word renegotiating, meaing they are in talks with Northern Rock and Addidas, becasue if it was other companies, then it would just be negotiating, and not renegotiating, so it looks like both Northern Rock and Addidas are interested in keeping us on.
