Guest johnson293 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Rumour going around RTG about their stadium being named "The Invest In Africa Stadium" Be careful if you send that on a text though as it autocorrects to "The Incest In Africa Stadium" http://www.busiweek.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2418:tullow-to-list-on-use&catid=104:uganda&Itemid=1364 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Tullow Oil has started a programme in Ghana where it has partnered with English Premier League club Sunderland to sponsor all secondary school football activities and this will also be the case in Uganda. As a result, Sunderland's Stadium, originally known as 'Stadium of Light' will be renamed to 'Invest in Africa Stadium'. Doesn't read like a rumour as such. International Development.

ponsaelius Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Tbf the Stadium of Light was a shit name for a shit flatpack ground in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like the name stadium of light but Im happy with a name change if its for the good of ther club (not a petulant piece for revenge by the chairman like down the road) I think having Invest in Africa as the shirt sponsor would look cool kind of reminds me of Barcelona gives us a bit of class Classy club. FTM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest je85 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Really don't get why people feel the need to make videos like that.

Fenham Mag Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 They have a thread on Naming a stand after Niall Quinn, who scored 29 goals for them in the Premier League. Off the top of my head Speed and Solano scored more than that for us in the league. Shows how small their pitiful club is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
