New Everton Stadium

[Exeter_Gently]

Hate the name. Can see rivals taking the mick.

Rivals take the mick anyway...mate we are playing our football in a state of the art stadium in the next a few weeks.

Any mick taking with be from pure envy ha.

So we’re playing at the dick bowl? Brilliant, best ground in the country and they come up with the genius idea of naming it the dick bowl. Awesome.

Think you may have got the name wrong lid.
It’s “Hill Dickinson Stadium”

I quite like it actually sounds very English - Hill Dickenson, makes it sound old and distinguished, as opposed to the Staple Stadium or something.

I don't give a flying it has Dick in the name, I just don't like how clunky it sounds.

As a posh boutique hotel chain name, sounds great. A name for an intimidating fortress, not so much. Dare I say it would perhaps suit a club like Arsenal.

All that said we must be getting more than a couple of million as surely we could have roped NEC in if it were only 2-3 million pa. Hopefully it's nearer the 10 million side of things but that's a lot of money for a company that size.

Who cares though mate? For real now. Its not like the name will have any impact on the games of togger other then to bring in investment to strengthen the club. Its not like anyone in real life will ever call it that. Its for TV people. It'll be Bramley Morre in the same way that Newcastle's place never stooped being St James's Park.

Shocked but not surprised at how much energy some people dedicate to their releases pursuit of eternal misery.

Experts at everything, but no idea how when they spend 95% of their life posting relentless garbage on this forum.

Condescend much.

But mate, why on earth would that bother you? "Oh, the opposition fans will say mean things! However will we cope!"

Well it’s my fault then for having a few Liverpool fans as good mates , they did jump in this to try and ridicule . It doesn’t bother me that much as you just ride with it and laugh at some Memes then they soon get bored. I’m a bit disappointed as it’s a silly name that demeans the stadium a bit. I was expecting and assumed a blue chip name such as Toyota or whatever. Like some others say I don’t think it will be anywhere near 10 mill. Anyway , won’t let it spoil the wknd !

I’d be more concerned about having mates who support them.

Condescend much.

Low tolerance for relentless drivel.

Who’s arsed? Let them and laugh with/at them

I know the name sounds awful, and in when I first heard it I admit it did make me think WTF! But, it’s a local law firm, with a global reputation. I’ve climbed down slightly from hating it.

It’s only a stadium name. Look what Arsenal fans have to deal with.

It’s nuts to be worried about the name “Dickinson,” FFS.

It's completely fine...A firm who's history is steeped in Maritime Law sponsoring a stadium on the docks,it's actually pretty apt.

Blues were always going be uncomfortable with naming rights whoever it was,its new territory for club and fans.

Once everyone settles no one will care.

100% mate, its way better then the Cadbury Cream egg or Screwfix Stadium. Remember when Leicester's was called the Walkers Crisps. I honestly think some people thought we would be selling the naming rights to Apple or Microsoft or something.

It probably a bad time to announce this to be honest - its an emotional weekend were people are going to be said and emotional about moving on - there will be no mood to adapt to change or embrace anything new for a couple of weeks.

No it won't. Because St James's Park was always there before it became the Sports Diect or whatever. Not so this stadium.

Completely different.

This is a PR disaster - and one that'll last years to come.

The club have done a quick and embarrassing deal done in order to get some cash in.

Let's not dress it up. There's no way past this.
