VulcanRam Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I've come off the phone to someone at Derby this morning who suggested that the naming rights to the ground have been sold and an announcement is being made in about a fortnight. Anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The rights to Moor Farm were sold to the University recently. I have heard rumours about selling the stadium rights. I don't mind the change if it did happen but it would depend on the company. For example the Emirates Stadium is good but the Sports Direct Arena @ St James' Park is awful. If it is the Wonga Pride Park I will cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 naming rights have to be long term, like 10 years to make it worthwhile, otherwise nobody would call the stadium by the sponsor name. So it would have to be an established local business that won't go under anytime soon. So, it's gonna be:- Toyota, Rolls Royce Bombardier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the premiership. Toyota already have a long term stadium deal don't they? Bombardier I don't know, It wouldn't surprise me if it was American business due to our links there.

Not like its not been talked about recently if you look at old threads, people telling mates that don't sit on football forums or listen to every Rush interview get wind of this information sooner or later and spreads, some pass it off as inside knowledge. Is this a source you would trust? As he/she ever given you any insight before anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea ram Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Merthyr Town just sold their the naming rights. it's now called the "Cigg-e-Stadium". So now you can go to the Cigg-e-Stadium, and sit in the W@nk Bank, and watch football. Only in Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there are no grounds to go on. I think Sam did mention it in that web chat that there may be developments to come but it's pure speculation.

Ambitious Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Don't do it Derby, we were doing so well I can't think of anything much worse than 'pride park' such an awful name, so, I would welcome this with open arms. Jake Buxtons Arena, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I reckon you'd get more publicity as a company if you changed the name to something close to the club, rather than your companies name. Give the company a good reputation for being a bit different, sort of thing that would make a lot more news stories than the Bombardier Stadium.

Jake Buxtons Arena, for me. Well that's disappointing, but each to their own. When it's been mentioned on here before it seems I'm in the minority so I suppose I should forget real football, history and tradition and give in to the corporate cnuts No chance... It's wrong, cheap and tacky. Don't do it Derby, infact I'd rather us fook Hughes off to Stoke than change the name of our ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 We (AS FANS) would not benefit one tiny bit from a stadium rename... Do people really think we'll get a couple of premiership players from it? We'll get f*ck all, so what's the point? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
