Correct. None at all (unless, of course, you have some documentary evidence to the contrary?). I imagine the reality is far simpler; the estate was called Pride Park, somebody at the club thought 'Ooh, if we call it Pride Park Stadium it will have a double meaning - one, it will be the stadium at Pride Park and two, it will instill a sense of pride in our supporters when they come to support the club'. Occam's razor applies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or several times a week post that the takeover definitely isn't happening just in case someone stumbling onto this forum hasn't noticed that you've posted it day after day.

BaaLocks Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Can we call it "The Blue Shorts Stadium" and kill two birds with one stone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Can we not call it something imposing like the Colosseum? I'm sure we could think of a few we could sacrifice to the lions before home games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occam's razor applies here. Good effort. You've two footed @MuespachRam out of the debate while also providing an accurate historic picture of what happened. Bravo. Always worth remembering that the original plan in the mid 90s was to clean up the land with the incentive of applying for the Millennium Dome (or the O2 to younger readers) to be built there, and got down to the last three before obviously it went to London, where it was always going to be. By then plans to redevelop the BBG weren't working out, so the move made sense. None of this needed ever to have happened if British Rail had agreed to look at moving the railway line that ran behind the Pop stand, as the plan was always to redevelop the BBG, but it was hemmed in by the railway line one side and terraced houses the other.

Oldben Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Pride Park isn't a problem for me, if Derby were in the Premier league and doing well. As Derby isn't in that position I would prefer a name change. I wouldn't call it the baseball ground as Derby is a football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, so if we're mid table Championship it's Mediocre Park, top 6 Hope Park, bottom 3 Bedwetters Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Perhaps we could get some sponsorship from the company who make 'Shake & Vac'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin_Ram Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The last couple of years, we have been sniped at from many places. I would change the name to Forkham Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
