GeneralRam Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Naming rights should have been sold when the stadium was built - like Bolton did. Changing a stadium name afterwards is silly in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 How's about "Ram Land" we could either get sponsored by "Rambo Land" for the kids, who want to be entertained by over paid, mercenary modern day footballer types that will bleed the club dry for all it's cash, and then go and sign for their 20th football club and tell the world how proud they are to play for the club etc etc. Or hows about "Ram Land" we could get sponsored by "Pound Land" and for the older fans that realise, that we can get these players on the cheap and get the best out of em, for diddly squat and then treat ourselves on the way home to a Tobblerone and the like for a £1, whilst all the mugs at the "Emirates" and the like, are paying £10 for the same product at their local airport. Thank crunchie it's Friday and the football season is ever closer. Bring it on & bring on the mighty rams, the club will always matter whatever it's name or name of ground. Derby County Football Club. In Nige We More Than Trust. "Glad All Over"..... "Coz We Are CLOUGH All Over" ....... CLOUGH All Over", CLOUGH All Over".....let me hear the drums!

ilkleyram Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Buxton Spring Water are already considering renaming their product to just Buxton - although of course there is no 'just' where Jake is concerned. Sorry Eddie, but you are wrong. I know someone very high up in the company. What their board is considering is changing the name from Buxton Water to Jake Water. The thinking is that it will differ them in a crowded market place. Make it more personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I find it odd how people say Sky ruined football, changing kick off times and pumping stupid money into the game yet we have a thread full of sell outs..... Muespach aleo unless I'm mistaken doesn't want promotion as he hates the Premiership but is willing to sell naming rights for money to sign a player that might not even happen to keep us a float in the Championship, haven't we go a squad capable already of that? Sky has ruined football, money has wrecked the game, and yes, i don't care about the naming rights, for goodness sake we have substitutions/corners sponsored..... Pride Park is a lame name anyway, it means nothing...sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 To some. Go on then...tell me what is so special about the stadium named after a retail park...? is it the link to Sainsburys? Halfords? Toys R Us?.....yep, it's so special.. Souless bowl, we have been there how long now? and how many games in that time can you count where the atmosphere was any good? 4? 5 maximum.

knabby crackers Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I reckon my lad might be willing to bung a few quid if it could be named as................

Erm, just to make sure you have your facts correct, the retail park is NOT called Pride Park... Pride Park only starts once you get over the bridge... the retail park is 'The Wyvern'... Pride Park is a business park on the site of the old railway sidings (taking Derby's old business and encouraging new business to grow there... how nice!)... They're also building a velodrome... cos we all bloody love cycling now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retail park was called "Pride Park" after "Pride of Derby" - a phrase that has long been associated with the city (and town before it became a city) through hospitals, fishing rights to the Derwent etc. Gadsby, Pickering et al toyed with the idea of calling it the 'New Baseball Ground' but people said that that was silly. I suppose you'd have wanted it to be called the "Ski Sunday Stadium" - I would have preferred 'Derwent Park'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
