cambridgeshire canary 6,735 Posted August 9, 2021 Not quite as bad as 'Select Car Leasing Stadium' that Reading recently announced and all but it's still pretty amusing. Also pretty neat new badge that, props to Swansea for coming up with something decent. Anyway think it's safe to say we never want Carrow Road renamed right? The 'Lotus racing sports cars and tires arena' just does not have a good ring to it does it? 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 'Lotus racing sports cars and tires arena' just does not have a good ring to it does it? 😉 I'm probably in a minority on this, but I wouldn't care if we sold the naming rights to Carrow Road for a few seasons. It's only ever a temporary thing, and if it brings a ton of extra money into the club then why not? If you ask a Birmingham fan where they play, they'll tell you St Andrew's, not the Trillion Trophy Stadium (first one that came to mind for some reason, although there are loads of others). In the same way, nobody refers to the 'Regency Security Stand', it'll always be the River End to us. Obviously it's contingent upon being done sensitively... the 'Aviva Carrow Road Stadium' or the 'Lotus Stadium' is more palatable than 'The Angry Birds Nest' or whatever.

Bill 1,788 Posted August 9, 2021 thing is, it is only the numpties who use sponsors names it is the League Cup, the FA cup etc the South Stand and the River End...... can anyone ever imagine the Barclay being anything else ? thankfully there are some with a bit of sense, as with Hull City staying as Hull City Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted August 9, 2021 I hate all this. Nobody for example called St.James Park The Sports Direct Arena, likewise with this everyone is still going to call it The Liberty except commentators. The only good example of this is what QPR did with their stadium name which was changed in memorial to a murdered youth player. But in general I am completely against this, feels very souless and American and has no place in British football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The QPR one is, as you saf differnent, and I assume the Swansea one isnt money orientated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted August 9, 2021 Arguably the paradox would be Bolton's ground as the then "new" ground was known as the Reebok Stadium from the beginning as I think that was due to the naming rights being sold from the get-go. Bit tricky when it's been called the Macron and the University of Bolton Stadium since then. Same would apply to the Allianz-Arena in Munich, as those were sold for 30 years IIRC. Do agree that it's a bit plastic, but also agree that fans wouldn't refer to it as much else than the stadium name, so wouldn't be averse to us getting a couple of extra million for it per year.

As far as Welsh regional rugby is concerned the name of the stadium is the least of their worries, as for the Liberty, it never caught on and I suspect most Swans fans are still more emotionally tied to the Vetch, which when I last was down there was a community allotment 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
