New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Portoman]

It sounds such an old fashioned name - "the Hill Dickinson Stadium" - dry as a f***in bone.

Hardly gets the attention like "the Emirates" or "the Eitihad".

Plenty of teams don't have their stadium renamed - Villa, Chelsea, Forest, Newcastle - and "Bramley Moor" sounded inline with those.

But, no.

Nobody will call it by it's proper name - it'll either be called "Bramley Moor" or something "the Big Dick stadium".

The fact we had people chatting Qatar Airways and Bank of America and it's the solicitors behind the Echo. We are unparalleled

This is why we don't grow. Mentality is awful. We're supposed to be growing the brand as best we can. Using a local business barely anyone knows isn't growing the brand it's staying in the same comfort zone we've been in for 30 years. Mediocrity rules.

You grown the brand by winning football matches you massive balloon.

You win football matches with better players,players you buy, through deals like this!

Now jog on Mr Monster Mentality.

We get a naming rights deal that is one of the 10 biggest in the world(with a local firm) and people are already moaning because they dont like the company name, unlike all the apparently catchy options out there I havent heard of.

You can call the stadium whatever you want, who cares? The only thing that matters is maximum money in to help the squad.

In the world? You sure about that? The press release said Europe.

It’s £10 million a year

Thats Just like 95% of people on football forums though

"Where you off to, lad? The dick stadium? Bahahahahahah"

Silence. Cough. Everyone gets back to what they were doing.

I'm lumping on that big time now.

I was opposed to it big time but now I'm a believer. A slaver's name preferred to this 'kin lot. That'll give you an idea of the level of humiliation I feel.

In all seriousness, seek help man.

 

[MikeH72]

Maybe that's because you have no pride in your club?

I'm upset and you're laughing at us having that stadium name.

Old-fashioned is VERY Everton.

Arsenal and City’s homes sound like despotic satrapies. Oh wait, they are!

Bramley-Moore was a slave-driver.

It’s £10 million a year

Where has that been confirmed?

 

[Marius57]

Surely can’t be £10m a year but if so that’s incredible business even if the stadium name actually feels a bit flat and uninspiring.

 

[davek]

Why?

Division 20 of thee corporate world...in a hopeful estimation of their status.

We get no 'brand' boost from that. None whatsoever.

TFG hasve just made their first major...sorry...MAJOR error here at this club. They dont understand or care about us. Not one bit.

 

[Frenk]

I guess we will get cheaper help on all future legal issues.

 

[Moomin]

They are saying its one of the biggest naming deals in Europe but not saying the context is in the amount of letters of the name.

Established in 1810, originally specialising in maritime law. I actually think it's an excellent match, considering the location of the stadium, and a business with history before Everton in fact.

Hill Dickinson's origins can be traced back to 1810, with the establishment of a Liverpool legal practice by the firm's founder, Edward Morrall. John Edward Gray Hill joined the firm in 1865. John Dickinson (1847–1907) became a partner in 1872, and the firm traded as Duncan, Hill & Dickinson. It established itself as a leading maritime law office, and represented the White Star Line in connection with the sinking of the RMS Titanic[4] and Cunard Line in respect of the sinking of RMS Lusitania[5] which was torpedoed by a German U-boat on 7 May 1915.

I like it a lot more now
Thanks for the info
