Guest FyldeBlue Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 As the expected completion date is estimated for 2011-2012 and the latter is a special year. How about OAFC - OLYMPIC STADIUM ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah I see the logic in that, how about Boundary Park cos it's on the boundary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a genius to think of that one Lags !.....Suspect it could have been mentioned before now I realise how you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The Topps Tiles Arena - It's going to be a sponsored name I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The Topps Tiles Arena - It's going to be a sponsored name I'm sure Sigh. The single biggest drawback of a new stadium is the loss of a genuine sense of identity. Whilst some clubs choose to give the stadium a 'proper' name (Riverside, Stadium of Light, New Den etc), most fall into the depressing trap of a sponsor name from the start (Emerates, Reebok, Walkers etc). It gets worse when the sposon changes e.g. Huddersfield McApline to Galpharm. I'm waiting for the next deal toresult in the "Mamas and Papas Stadium" (a local company I think) - I'll rib the hell out of the fans at work. On the topic... BTB Stadium (Beyond the Boundary) New Boundary Park (dull I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Riverside It was known as the BT Cellnet Riverside stadium initially wasn't it? Sort of a half and half job there from them. Think it is just The Riverside now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchie82 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 i think the new home end should be called the ernie cooksey stand ... Ha ha ha, oh your serious. The stadium and stands will be sponsored. If we do name the stands after former players lets stick to real legends only please TTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well lets think up a name the fans can call the stadium regardless of whoever sponsors it. Just because a company sponsors it it doesn't mean we have to call it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a company sponsors it it doesn't mean we have to call it that. Exactly, how many city fans do you know that call their home ground eastlands?

Guest sheridans_world Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I like the New Boundary Park. Might be dull but it fits and is applicable. Shresbury have the new meadow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It was known as the BT Cellnet Riverside stadium initially wasn't it? Sort of a half and half job there from them. Think it is just The Riverside now. I think they gave it the name Riverside but also allowed it to be sponsored from the very start. However this meant that it had a definitive name that wouild remain if sponsorship stopped / changed. I have no issue with this method, for example: The Chaddy is the Chaddy - it will never get referred to as Seatons Stand, Detect All etc other than in official documentation and by the stadium announcer. Having read the statement on the website other names: Broadway Memorial Park Lancaster Field I like the idea of the name having some link to the location, and I prefer not to have the word 'stadium' if possible.

Something with Lancaster would be good I feel. It's the name of the place we are going to so it would be right. I'm not keen on having something like the New Boundary Park. It's backwards looking when we should all be looking to the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Think the official name is City of Manchester stadium but alot of the city fans I know simply refer to it as eastlands Isn't the stadium called City of Manchester Stadium, but the area is called Eastlands? So both are correct. The stadium name I can't get my head around is West Ham. Is it Upton Park or the Boleyn Ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 'arena' I personally like 'lancaster field' or new boundary park, and if the stadium rights were to be sold, would prefer "<insert company name>" sponsored lancaster field/new boundary park But at end of day £££ talks, and I would imagine the <insert company name> arena/stadium would fetch in more £££ than the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any names for the site/area we're going to....that's apart from Lancaster of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
