Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Papa Shango]

If it’s all they could attract then fair enough but I thought TFG with all their connections would have been able to attract bigger , cooler blue chip brands

What does that actually do though? They would be paying the same amount or less.

No mate you're not,I get why fans are having a wobble.

We're leaving a stadium thats synonymous with the club,into a new stadium,with a naming rights deal thats got absolutely nothing to do with the club itself.

It's all pretty raw at the minute everything that's going on,but you're the prime example of someone who's had wobble, settled down and thought, actually it not even that bad.

Can't remember what journo it was but they said back in Feb the club where looking locally for a naming rights deal everyone said it would be AJ bell and now it's Hill Dickinson,so that was proven to be right.

The thing is mate we've all assumed that being in the PL with TFG and their clout would have guaranteed us a Blue chip brand,well hasn't...which tells the amount of work to be done on and off the pitch before chip brands are willing to associate themselves with us.

It will come but for the time being lets stick with HD...grow the club and then watch sponsors knock out door down.

Its better than a betting sponsor, gulf state airline or advertising countries with dubious human rights records.

A local brand with a respectable history.

Dont be scared of the dick now lads

Tbf if the name is a bit poo then that just impacts more on the sponsor than us

Arsenal and City stadium are known as Emirates and Etihad without problem. Whereas this may just be getting called Bramley Moore by everyone and sponsor name bypassed

Besides the initial reaction really nothing to be getting too stressed over.

And as others have said really its a more respectable sponsor than others anyway.

WE have had the legend of Dixie Dean proudly associated with this great club for 100 years. Have we ever been worried about the fact fans could tease us with his name as the Dix part sounds like something rude. To me the new stadium name sounds dull, like a chain of unmemorable hotels or a wool manufacturing company. I am not worried about one of the 8 syllables in its full title. I just wish we had been sponsored by a company called Dragon Pit or something like that with a bit of pizzazz

Welcome mate, you joined in 2007 and this is your first post, all so negative and not an ounce of truth in it anyway.
I wonder why you decide to post now.

We have never shamed this City

10m in the coffers every year for doing… nothing.

You’ll only hear it on Sky, TNT, MOTD. Everyone else will call it something else.

Demanded for years that we start doing business properly, we can’t start moaning now when we do haha

I truly believe that a sizable chunk of our fanbase would be gutted if we became like Man City and started winning everything. Its like some of you are allergic to happiness and can only feel when you're angry or sad. Some of you seriously need help.

He's looking directly at you @davek.
He may even be pointing.

The HD sounds a bit Rugby league ha.

Bramley Moore is fine enough.

 

[Bilko]

The day after the announcement and I've had a bit of time to ponder.
I like it... the people's club which has represented the city so well through the generations Is supporting its own, backing its own city on the big stage in commerce and business.
Seems actually a good idea to me .

The name is unlucky, but really appreciate that a local company committed itself to pay a decent amount of money for the naming rights.
