RamNut Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The Kevin Hector Stadium. no money, no sponsorship. Just a truly honest acknowledgement of our greatest living player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Pride Park is OK. Hated iPro. If we rename it now I think it'd have to be in memorium of a great person. I think, therefore, we need to consider "The Steve Howard Hovel" the "Tito Villa" the "Robbie Savage Residence" or the "Ikechi Anya arena" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to have you back @B4ev6is. (Great name for our football ground!) I didn't realise you had gone missing, but some of the other guys on a different thread have sent out a "Search Party" for you. Not that anyone should be searching or partying in the current climate, so you probably won't see a load of folk with alsations and torches charging around in the woods nearby.

FindernRam Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 43 minutes ago, Indy said: If I remember correctly, Pride Park is technically the name for the entire industrial development. It was some tortuous acronym like Productivity and Regeneration In the Derby Environment, or close to that. Our ground was officially the “Pride Park Stadium” rather than “Pride Park”. Correct. I think the Council at the time had some slogan like Derby Pride or Pride of Derby that was used for a time. The land was so heavily contaminated it was impossible to use for housing. I always felt the Gas holders added to the ambience of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 10 hours ago, Bearwood Ram said: Pride Park is an atrocious name for a stadium and I for one have never warmed to it. We should re-name it, and not in a corporate sponsor way. New Baseball Ground is my preferred choice. I know this has been debated before but as there's nowt else going on, why not revisit it? Sorry Tamworth Ram. Not really a new stadium now is it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWRam Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 How about renaming the stands inside the ground instead. Lets face it, North South etc is pretty boring. How about Popside, Ossie End, C Stand - much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Never known a club to just change the stadium name without a sponsorship. Rename a stand, yes, but not the stadium itself. Pride Park Stadium, a stadium on Pride Park, not the most creative of names and no nostalgia factor but it’s a name of the stadium where many fans would have witnessed their first Derby County game. As years go by, Pride Park Stadium will become as sacred as The Baseball Ground was. I say all that, but football has changed, money talks and the likelihood is that sometime in the future the naming rights of the stadium will be sold and we would be foolish not to.

Leeds Ram Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I kind of like Pride Park as a name even if it is a little corny. I cringed when we renamed it 'I-Pro' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Stadium sounds far better. I hear Elon Musk has got a few quid to spare. Just been confirmed the richest man on the planet, saw it in the Daily Mirror. Come on Mel, if the arab deal is dead in the water give Mr Musk a ring, also I do like the name "Telsa Stadium". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Despite the recent "B thing", I think we should go all "European Powerhouse", and come up with something a little more cosmopolitan... How about "Estadio de la Difícil Situación"? ...Or "Stadium of Plight"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 16 hours ago, IslandExile said: You've certainly not annoyed me. I've tried campaigning for blue and white kit myself, creating polls, etc. To me, it's clearly the only reason why we are no longer successful. As football ground names go, I do like Pride Park. After all, it's far better than the Kit Kat Stadium, Elland Road or the City Ground for example. You mispelled Leeds stadium name mate. Its got a B at the front.

Aye, I also misspelt the name of the ground of that team from down the road who play in red. I believe it begins "Sh" rather than "C". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
