Goodison Park and naming rights.

[Bally8]

Do it

 

[davek]

No. Its a disgusting idea.

1892 to the present as Goodison Park and to besmirch that to squeeze a few quid out to stick in Lukaku's pocket or waste on another Bolasie is criminal.

I understand any new stadium will be named, but for God's sake lets let this stadium shuffle off its mortal coil with some dignity. Imagine the ground where Dean, Young, Ball, Southall lit up in their own ways - not to mention the special family connections we all have with it - being rubbished by calling it the Megafon Goodison Park? Laundering capital from that gangster's ill-gotten booty.

No thanks.

 

[Elong]

It was unnecessary and stupid in a sensible discussion thread, either we have some standards or every thread goes down the drain.

What a massive bore.

They can rename Goodison to whatever they want.

It will always be Goodison to me.

If it brings more dough in to invest, they can call it what they want - it will still be Goodison.

 

[Connor]

It would still be Goodison to everyone bar Sky.

Give me the damn money.

Call it the sticky green shed, but give us dem dollar bills first.

Alisher can call it whatever he wants as long as he funds the transfers.

I remember the outrage from some at the hafnia kit not being traditional enough. No one cared when the trophies started to arrive.

Please down use that racist term mate. Dean was our first black player and a legend. We should all be proud of that.

Two things:

the shirt sponsorship WAS a turn for the worst as it vandalised with corporate graffiti our hallowed jersey - however it is not on the same level as the denigration of our home, which a naming rights for GP would represent

a cold meats company sponsorship is one thing, sponsorship from a gangster is another.

Just call it Goodbye son.

He was. Players used to wind him up about it.

He played football with my Grandad, so dont try and lecture me.
