Keggy_Keagal Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 It's worth exploring. See what the naming rights deal is and what the proposed name would be then put it to the supporters for a vote. So long as there is transparency about the process. The owners have supporter trust at the moment it would be foolish to disrupt that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d tell them to fuck off. Well if you think pif are that fucking stupid good luck. One of the worlds most iconic staduims is the Spotify Nou Camp do no change at SJP brigrade just think we are gan keep plucking Bruno G & Isak's etc out of thin air with no give.i stood on the Leazes end as a kid with my pals and sang " westwood is a pirate " and sang "get out of our club you rotund London chap" in my 50s so get real BTW it'll always be SJP even if they put some name in front of it.

Good point. I don't know a single person who refers to it as The Spotify Nou Camp either. It'll always be the Nou Camp or the Camp Nou depending on which way you are inclined!

PIF are that stupid. I'd recommend looking into The Line and Neom if you're just assuming it's some kind of perfect business operation, because it's not. And again, you're just assuming a name change would bring in loads of money, when there's nothing to suggest it would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would bring in significant money, enough to impact the first team in a meaningful way. That’s not up for debate.

I wouldn't be happy with replacing stadium name for that, maybe an addition to the name but that's not worth losing the name St. James' Park for.

Well it's been widely reported that spurs stadium could be renamed at 500- 600 million and anything upto 1Billion, We are roughly turning over1/3rd of the big six so all these barmy fuckers wanting to throw a fly in the ointment because the best thing to happen to my club in my lifetime might want a mega wealthy staduim sponsor, these opposing it are 100% in the minority.

Absolutely fantasy to think we'd get anything near that, even if we could justify it financially.

I don’t care about the X millions it may bring in, St James’ Park is sacrosanct. It really isn’t, it’s just a name and shouldn’t stand in the way of progress imo.

Spurs can rename their staduim for anything upto 1Billion so if its the Apple st james Park staduim it's no big deal ffs...also if we had to build a new stadium preferably in the city boundary it not going to be called SJP is it!! you've got to move with the times. 100% - the other option is a new ground or not complete. Either way we get left behind and never compete at the top or we get a new ground and it’s renamed anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Kid Icarus said: If you honestly think the money that a name change would bring in would be worth it, you either need to look at the amounts brought in elsewhere, or you value the St James' Park name very cheaply. It doesn't take a dinosaur to know that. At nun, not WM. If the money brought in for a name change wasn’t worth it then nobody would have changed their names ffs, the proof is in the pudding. They’re better business men than any of us and haven’t done evening to earn our distrust so as far as I’m concerned then if they say we need to change the name to progress then that’s good enough for me. The same people that are saying “you better not change the name” are probably a lot of the same people saying “why didn’t you buy more players last window - moneys not an issue”.

Newcastle United is just a name. Black and white are just colours. Newcastle is just another city on the map. By your logic literally everything should be up for grabs providing there’s some financial benefit to the club. The fact that the further commercialisation of a football club is seen as ‘progress’ is pretty depressing. I’m a realist, but there I some things that should be beyond money.

Until an existing stadium takes up a name change and brings in the amounts being banded about in here, it's a pretty weak argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa and Everton don’t compete at the level we’re aiming for and remain at our current level, the level we’re trying to break out from where Liverpool and Man U sell massive amounts of franchise world wide compared to us. a quick Google has just told me Liverpool are 4th and Man U 5th in world wide marchendise sales.
