Naming the Stadium

Well first off we all know the club will be looking for a sponsorship deal, i can't imagine the stadium's new name would be sold for a £1.000.000 over a certain period.

But the broomfield stadium is a great idea, This is something the club should get behind as well if money is not the object (doubt that though) Pehaps martin dawn would stump up the cash and call the ground.

THE BROOMFIELD STADIUM
sponsored by MARTIN DAWN PLC.

we can all hope.

What our the fans feelings about a company buying the name, very much like Arsenal?

In one aspect, I can see it as selling out but can beggers really be chosers? On this one, it depends a lot on who the company would be, for example, lets say Nike wanted to do it, it could be called The Nike Arena or something along those lines but on the other hand it could be a company like Pound Stretcher.

On the flip side of the coin, how about after one of our all time greats? Maybe a vote on the official site with a list of 7 or 8 names after reading supporters opinions. The top fella would have the stadium named after him, and the four runners up could have stands named after them?
 
The Reebok stadium was an original approach and kind of had a nice ring to it. The Fitness First stadium? Oh dear.

It would be good having the backing but it does seem to be devaluing the name of the club by selling out like this. Problem at our level is that we probably need the backing to the point where we have no choice.
 
I'd sell the stadium name to the highest bidder, on a season to season basis, to raise capital for the club.

I'd then name the stands and parts of the ground after SUFC legends.

The Leon Consantine East Stand.

The Mark Rawle Changing rooms etc etc.

... to the sounds of Mooooo & Baaaaa?

I don't think that'll go down too well, but then I guess you are only joshing anyway!

Broomfield Stadium is probably the best one mentioned so far, other good ones, New Roots Hall or Fossetts Stadium?
I hope we don't get a sponsored ground, i know it brings in money but it sells out the traditions of a club, i mean arsenal and the 'Emirates Stadium'? that sickens me.
