Oldben Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Nowadays the sponsorship of stadiums is a common occurrence, with one of the first questions as club has to answer upon the announcement of a new ground is, ‘Will you sell the stadium’s naming rights?’ Examples Arsenal, Emirates stadium Bolton Wanderers, Reebok Stadium Manchester City FC, the etihad Chesterfield, proact stadium Burton Alibion, pirelli stadium Leicester City FC, king power stadium When the New York Mets agreed to call their newly built home after CitiGroup in exchange for over £200 million. There's money in sponsoring a name changed stadium. its unlikely to happen at this moment as the club seeks new owners, but personally I no longer want the club known as pride Park. The clubs current name reminds me of our losses and not our victories. The club needs money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihangel Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I don't know of too many new grounds that have not received naming rights these days - It's a no brainer to be honest - Kind of sad but there you go. Regarding Pride Park, I would imagine that if we are sold to a buyer who has less of an emotional attachment to the club than Mel (very very likely), then the sale of the naming rights is an inevitability.

I have no problem with the name of the ground as it is and it certainly doesn’t conjure up only memories of defeats for me. You need to look a bit further back than just the last season buddy. On the other hand, whilst there are plenty of embarrassing potentials out there, I don’t care too much who sponsors it if they’re prepared to pay zillions for the honour. It would be nice to have a cool sounding name and there are some I’d probably prefer we weren’t associated with but, beggars can’t be choosers.
