Darth Crooks Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Currently, it's earning us sweet FA and showcasing how to brazenly alienate fans and degrade a fantastic stadium. Why would any owner that cared do that? He's taking the piss. Or was it a 'tough decision'. I'm a liberal minded person and I'd like to think i'm tolerant and non-reactionary but this just smacks of a decision with no other agenda than to be blatantly obnoxious.

Ishmael Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You could think Ashley is doing a brilliant job, but still hate the idea of the stadium being renamed. I think people are clever enough to hold different opinions on different issues. Just because people are upset at the stadium renaming doesnt mean the pitchforks are coming out and hits are being sorted for Ashley and Llambais. Whey! Someone who listens to an opposing view and bothers to not resort to complete polar reaction. I for one am made up at the league position but not the expense of the one thing that all fans uninanimously love. It's a abhorrent decision. :clap: indeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Brand pays us approx 10mil per season If we look at the Man City deal as that is the most recent naming rights deal: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/8624337/Manchester-Citys-10m-deal-with-Etihad-for-stadium-naming-rights.html That article tells me Man City got about £10 million & everyone knows Etihad paid well over the odds so to think we are going to get anywhere near that is bonkers.

TheGuv Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 More likelihood that it won't man. You'd have to have lived under a rock not to have worked that out. Yes we bought Cisse but that was our first proper striker bought in nearly 6 years man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was more like 400m over 10 years It is a multi layered sponsorship deal covering shirts,ground,financial support & sporting facility. The naming rights of ground is meant to be about £10 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Seriously though, you're either on the wind-up or not a critical thinker if you take what is said about this name change at face value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I was pretty apathetic when I first heard the name was being taken down (I'd expended all my energy being fucked off when it was first announced he was changing the name of the ground) but the more I think about it the more irritated I get. Not just at Ashley but at the game in general. We'll be the first of many no doubt, selling (I use the term very loosely. I doubt we'll get anything for this) our heritage down the river for a few pieces of silver. It's wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
