dylanisabaddog 4,971 Posted February 20, 2023 Would anyone be that bothered? Lots of people I know still refer to the River End, Main Stand and South Stand. If we could get money for it snatch it.

The value of the money would not be significant enough to warrant to change the name, but equally, I don't get singling out of gambling companies; their money for legal entertainment is as good as any others.

Feedthewolf 4,866 Posted February 21, 2023 With the right sponsor I think it could work, but it'd be better if it was added to the existing title as with Barcelona's 'Spotify Camp Nou'. I wouldn't object to something like 'The Lotus Carrow Road Stadium', as everyone would still call it Carrow Road anyway. If the money's right and the branding's right, it's one of those 'marginal gains' that we should seek to exploit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,231 Posted February 21, 2023 I didn't even know about the Nou Camp being called that and don't think I've heard it referred to as that. I'm setting up a toilet manufacturer just so in 10 years time when I'm making billions I can make Ipswich an offer they can't turn down. Anyone going to the game at 'portman road toilet company' today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,444 Posted February 21, 2023 The most obvious stadium sponsor would be the insurance company whose roots was founded in the City - the "Aviva Stadium" (but of course that's already been done elsewhere - d'oh!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 527 Posted February 21, 2023 I think that "The Forlorn Hope Stadium" would just about capture the mood of this message board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention plenty still refer to it as the Reebok after the initial sponsor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
