New Stadium name?

As I mentioned in the Vic Jobson thread, his vision 20 odd years ago was to call the stadium by the name of someone willing to pay sponsorship money for the privilege. That has been done by others since - eg Stoke. Suggest we look no further than that - make money out of the name for the benefit for SUFC.

Oh something classy then like.....

Bob's Discount Windows Stadium

- G
 
The [insert sponsors name] Southend Arena

Not far off there mate, i spoke to a certain person 6 months ago and asked the same question and got a reply saying......it will defiantly be named after the main sponsor
 
the mel slack stadium

The BAG

or, my fave, the bluetonic bowl
 
Who ever we can guess that will be the main sponsor of the stadium will get the privilege.........

I Personally think that RBS are a good bet as well
 
Fossetts Stadium,
Bluedome,
The Ron Martin Memorial Stadium (He was the one to make it all happen),
The Blue Camp.

They are the ones that I thought of, From the list above, I like The ShrimperDome, very clever.

I can fully see it being "The RBS Stadium, Southend"

Id personally prefer it to be "Ron Martin's House of Funk"

Or possibly, to finally get one over Camp Bling et al and all the attempted plots to stop the development from happening, can we please call it "Newts Hall"?


Nou Camp Bling?

In all honesty, I think the stadium will be called whatever the highest bidder wants to call it. And I for one wouldnt mind that at all. If it was the straight choice between calling it something poignant / significant, or calling it after a sponsor, I dont think we are big enough to be turning away commercial opportunities that would give the club more money*.

* Provided the money was going into the clubs coffers.
 
i am firmly against anything named after a company, i know this is a way to get more money in but as far as i'm concerned this is the wrong way to go. you need to be proud of the name of the stadium. for me there is only two options. 1) Fossetts farm 2) The New Roots Hall Stadium
