Yes, that's where I mentioned it from.

I can understand that the club wont want to promote the stadium as such as they want to be able to present as clean a slate as possible to a stadium naming rights sponsor, but fans can do it.

It's a shame the name Bramley Moore has persisted as long as it has.

You can be sure if the boot was on the other foot that lot would be talking about a Fourth Grace in order to claim the city.

I'm not so sure my son. Imagine the full weight of the Kopite media machine behind it.
John Bramley-Moore would be canonised and lauded as the first ever football fan in Liverpool. "And dem bitterz saying he was a slave owner can **** off, he was salt of the earth dat lad, a proper socialist redman. He used to go drinking with Shanks and Thommo, proper scouser lar."

He'd have been reinvented as the founder of Brazilian football. The organiser of Slaves v Masters five a side matches.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that if even Goodison, Anfield or OT had taken naming rights it wouldn't be long before those names too would be buried under the weight of another name.

It will depend if it’s given it’s own name and then a brand can be added to the first part, because whoever gets naming rights first will have a massive advantage, and get by far the most exposure, hopefully we can trust Everton to capitalise on it.

I’ve not heard one person use M&S arena in Liverpool or AO arena in Manchester, they are still referred to as Echo Arena and MEN Arena.

Yes, that's a good point. But no one calls it the Kings Dock anymore.
