would you care.....

by melonhead » 10 Nov 2011 09:34

if JM, or the man he eventualy sells to wanted to sell the naming rights to our stadium would you actualy care?
what if it was a cool company, and not waitrose etc?

i mean, if we had built a new stadium at elm park, and it was continued to be called that i could maybe understand some reluctance
but since the stadium is a new bowl, in a new place, named after a man who you all hate, would you really give a toss? especially if it meant 50 million quid going straight into the club for player sales/wages over 5 years etc?


i wouldnt- although i would prefer a decent company name at least

Depends on the company.

As long is wasn't a brand that I objected (e.g. the "Selling Cancer Sticks to Third-World Children", "Landmines R Us " or "Exploiting the Poor & Desperate with Extortionate Loans" etc) I'd just not care.

I would like to see the Stadium naming rights going to a charity, like SCOPE for example.

"The Scoper Bowl" has a gr8 ring to it.

I wouldn't mind, as long as there was a decent strap-line.

Welcome to the Ex Lax stadium.

The Tarquin FinTimLImBimBim Bostock Ptang Ptang Ohley Biscuit Barrel Stadium would do for me.

Or The Bostock for short..............

No prob.

Had no problem changing from Elm Park to Madejski. If it meant more money for developing the club then fine.
