Wullie Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's a clever move Any perspective sponsor would not want the bad publicity of renaming SJP However To rename SDA with the adidas arena or the budweiser bowl would be a positive step (shit names but that's not the point) Btw this dosnt bother me at all. We need to compete end of! Compete ffs. My emotional investment in NUFC doesn't start and stop at the fucking transfer window. Happily see another relegation if it got rid of this shithead and we stopped becoming Sports Direct FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 hope to f*** Rob the DJ keeps some decency and keeps welcoming everyone to St. James' Park in his pre-match ramblings. Would probably get the boot if he didn't. Still, I'd rather sit on the dole than call it that... Can you imagine the kind of replacement they'd bring in? It would just be recordings of that wanker on the Sports Direct advert on the telly on loop, with the horiffic jingle every 2 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 There's a huge difference between selling naming rights to a brand new stadium and defacing a name that has nearly a century of history and tradition tied to it. Not even the Americans would accept something like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Imagine this happening in German football? The reaction of the fans would be nothing but fierce protection to their ground and history. Even in Italy, Netherlands....but of course here nowt will be done. We'll moan on internet forums, spell words wrong on bedsheets and almost refuse to believe it. But, in saying that, the position us as fans now have in the football food-chain is somewhere right at the bottom, rotting away. Hence, we have no say or no control in whatever goes on. I will always love Newcastle United, but I'm rapidly falling out of love with the way football is run (marketed) in this country at the highest level. The majority of German stadiums are named after brands. Was 14 out of 18 in the top division in 2007, not sure about now. AWD-Arena (FKA Niedersachsenstadion) Bay Arena (FKA Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion ) badenova-Stadion (FKA Dreisamstadion) Mercedes Benz Arena (FKA Neckarstadion) RheinEnergieStadion (FKA Müngersdorfer Stadion) Imtech Arena (FKA AOL Arena, HSH Nordbank Arena, Volksparkstadion) Signal Iduna Park (FKA Westfalen Stadion) And those are just stadiums that have been renamed.

Ketsbaia Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Any new letters will be vandalised within weeks, I'll do it myself if I have to. Honestly, what a fucking prick Mike Ashley is. Why couldn't he just leave us alone for a while? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Good job he got all the new cheap arse season ticket holders sorted last week. Who gives a fuck to be honest. Its his stadium. He can do what the fuck he wants with it. If you don't like it then don't set foot in it. Yes, its a shit thing to do but it wont impact on the 95 minutes I spend there once a fortnight.

Kanji Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 There's a huge difference between selling naming rights to a brand new stadium and defacing a name that has nearly a century of history and tradition tied to it. Not even the Americans would accept something like this. Pretty much every stadium is named bar Fenway, Yankee Stadium, etc. in Baseball....I blv every single NFL stadium is named as well. I've just come to grips with it over here, but loved how the grounds in football in europe were not named, guess that all comes down slowly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
