Wilson Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 wait lee ryder actually tweeted that? i thought robbo's post was just a random made up bit of shits and gigglery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 He's the only one running with it atm though... as a word of caution I dont even think he would be stupid enough to run that without getting offical confimation. And yes, I know how stupid he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Don't make any fuss about this, they aren't renaming it St James' Park for the benefit of us fans but for the benefit of them as a company and the little resect they would gain. I also doubt that the SD and Puma advertising will come down as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also doubt that the SD and Puma advertising will come down as well. Surely the SD stuff will be largely replaced by the Wonga logo? They are still sponsoring after all and will have a visible presence you'd imagine, it's simply they have decided to revert to SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
