Stadium naming rights

[johnnyat87]

Why would the current owners flog naming rights to the stadium if they’re supposed to be selling up by the end of this week?

They're still going to be here/it makes the financial prospect more attractive to investors/they will probably discuss it with the new investors/this is just a promotional video to start the process

Take your pick.

New video.

"Greggs Theatre of sozzidge rruurhhhhhlls"
"Samaritans Stadium of Light .... at the end of the tunnel (*maybe)"

Fair enough to sell the naming rights but who put that video together? A student could have knocked that up for his A level media coursework.

Not sure if it is my screen at work but the video looked like something in Windows 3.1. I have not got a problem with generating revenue for the club. Just hope it's something snappy
like TD Garden in Boston or Enterprise Center in St Louis not CHEAPER INSURANCE DIRECT STADIUM, DUMBARTON (not sute it is still called this)

Hopefully we attract a decent brand. The BT stadium or summit

I just call it 'the stadium'
That won't change

Pretty much this. 'Meet you at the ground', never say 'meet you at the Stadium of Light'.

Ssshhhh man. Any sponsors reading this, we ALL call it The Stadium of Light and would gladly incorporate your company name into that whenever we talk about it.

Never understood this kind of thing bothering people tbh. It’s an easy money spinner for clubs and I’ll continue calling the stadium the SoL anyway.

Exactly. Arsenal and Man City fans don't appear to have a problem with it. Nor will Spurs when theirs invariably is.

It couldn't possibly be worse than -The Wonga Dome.

"Be the first ever sponsor of the SoL" suggests the naming rights aren't being sold off.

Won't stop people kicking off about it like.

No issue as long as it becomes The X Stadium of Light”.

Personally I’d welcome the opportunity to get rid of that bit. I know it won’t happen but it was always a shite name. We’ve grown to accept it - like back pain - but it isn’t even our own.

A monumental meltdown incoming from you know who

Fantastic idea there mate. few extra quid in the bank. Bring it on.

Disagree tbh. That's exactly what it suggests imo.

Im in.

Never seen the benefit to a company spending money on renaming a ground when it’s already had a name for, in our case, 22 years.

Huawei the lads.

Has a touch of the desperate about it.
