melonhead 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
Other than his most devout followers, I can't see why anyone would worry about the Madejski name disappearing from the stadium and being replaced by a significant income earner. It should have happened years ago but, despite it not being his idea, the man clearly loves having his name publicised in this manner.
FiNeRaIn melonhead i think JM needs to know that we dont care if he sells naming rights
Speak for yourself.
I can think of a lot of people who would rather not play in the Waitrose Stadium.
I am finding this attitude from modern day football fans more and more disturbing. Anything to get a few quid in...balls to heritage, history, tradition,etc
But is that brand any worse than the Madejski one? Personally I would rather buy and use Waitroses products - far better tasting! Also it would be quite nice to have two Hestons, although could do without Letsby Avenue.
