Miggys First Goal Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Didn’t Wonga ask them to drop the Sports Direct stadium name change after they became our shirt sponsor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Didn’t Wonga ask them to drop the Sports Direct stadium name change after they became our shirt sponsor? Yep (apparently). They also supposedly paid for the old gates to be placed in front of a wall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Used to piss me off that on Google Maps/taking a photo on iPhone it would always have the location as 'Sports Direct Arena'. Utterly rank. Can't wait for the fat fuck to disappear/pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Naming a new stadium is just kind of expected so if we ever reach that point then fine. Renaming of SJP just seems wrong, and I don't see how it has enough benefit. Surely they can find enough other avenues to up revenues without needing to do such a thing?

Wullie Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It would seem a bit of an unnecessary PR blunder if they did rename it, for that reason I can't see it, certainly not early on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They could just rename a stand (East Stand), and use that as an excuse to throw loads of money at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They could just rename a stand (East Stand), and use that as an excuse to throw loads of money at it. Was thinking that. Or throw even more money at it, build a small stadium for the stiffs as part of a wonderful new training complex and name that (when I say stadium, I mean a pitch with about 10 rows all the way round).

Toon No9 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Middle East Stand? And the northest part of the east stand should be named "The North East Stand", sponsored by Newcastle Brown Ale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I almost welled up on my run this morning as SJP came into view from the Walker riverside walk. It's fucking majestic and I can't wait for it to get the care and attention it deserves. This is near enough exactly what I was talking about: https://twitter.com/_NE28/status/1258054947536621568?s=19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Maybe but if right to light was the most important thing there'd never be any city centre development anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It’s important to note that this particular development is not the development that is feared would block an expansion of the Gallowgate end. The developers and the owners of The Strawberry have also worked together and the Strawberry owners were in favour of the development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteshoes Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 When or if the new owners come in,we need to knock the Leazes end down and put the old one back up.The blueprint must be somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to knock down the current fairly modern stand for a lower capacity stand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
