DCFCArmy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Football sold its soul a long time ago with the premiership... but this is taking it to the next level. Sometimes I actually see something like this and think why do we want to the get the "big time" again?, this is just cringe-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Makes sense. Don't think it sounds that bad tbh, could have been much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Never mind filling in the corners - the whole city needs burying. The most depressing 'large' town / city I've been to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an obviously corporate name, but it sounds OK, is short and I think generally works quite well. "Pride Park Stadium" sounded better, and there are better sounding corporate names out there (I quite like the Emirates Stadium, for example) but it's certainly not at the tail end of corporate names. Bet365 might be the worst I've seen. Looks bad (having numbers in a stadium name seems really odd), is cumbersome to say. Also, physically the iPro stuff isn't all that invasive on the aesthetic of our stadium: The Bet365 deal means the Brittania is surely going to have a (if not multiple) giant green box(es) on it.

Regardless of what it's actually called , it's not called that by choice it's called that through sponsorship. I just don't see how we can poke fun at Stoke when we've done the exact same thing , regardless of the name . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Www.buymobiles.net would've been better... That would be proper name to stadium IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The thing I find strange is the powers that be have totally got rid of sponsorships to do with cigarettes and alcohol yet everyone's quite happy to get sponsored by betting companies. Are these not just as bad? Isn't there gambling addicts? People losing there marriages, homes and jobs due to gambling? Possibly taking there lives because of it? just for information I don't actually care, just asking a question really as I find it odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
