I know it's been opposed in the past, but does anyone have any real issues if the stadium becomes sponsored.

 

Surely a few more pennies in the pot outweighs anything else in these times.

Presumably this has already been looked into anyway by those in charge.

A good idea but what kind of pleb will hand over money just to see a big circle of plastic and bricks named after their business?

Hell, I would. I'll offer £100 to see my name in lights over St Mary's.

Well I've always wanted Richard Branson to buy the club. Then we could call the stadium the "Virgin Mary Stadium". Could make some extra cash on the side by sub-letting to the local Catholic church.... ;)

What about 'The Dell'???

 

There used to be a stadium called 'The Dell'. Can't remember which club it was but apparently they used to be quite good when they played there.

The computer company?

To be honest, I'm surprised the marketing gurus at SMS didn't think about that one before....

 

I'm sure they have. Perhaps sign Scott SHEARER from Wycombe too....

 

There was a time when we had Totti in the academy didnt we?

Trouble is, once the stadium is open, the clubs lose a huge amount of money as for example, everyone will know it as SMS no matter who sponsors it so they wont get value for money.

 

Somewhere like the emirates is known as that throughout football and the sponsors get a huge exposure and will pay for that.

Back in the year 2000, I suggested to Rupert Lowe that if he could get Dell Computers to sponsor the stadium, then we could continue to call our home "The Dell". He advised me that the Club had already thought of that and Dell Computers were not interested!

Man Utd are renaming Old Trafford The Durex Stadium as most of their fans are plastic fu(kers.

 

Shouldn't that be rubber fu(kers? But then the joke doesn't make sense, I guess.
