Yep I'll go with that one. How about 18 times and thats a FACT stadium.

Ashley has finally lost it. Not that we needed confirmation.

If your thinking that people are saying it's a joke, you'd be right. We had a right chuckle at work about it.

All of a sudden I can live with the Walker Stadium. Just

Problem with your stadium name is that it would be very easy for some Forest fans to change one of the letters!

Sorry,

I'm a massive Sunderland fan who unfortunately lives and works behind enemy lines (Newcastle)....

But isn't this great, Stupid Ashley maybe a mackem after all.....he's doing a great job of destroying our local opposition.

Even us Sunderland fans think this guy is a joke !!!!!

Lee.

Just shows Ashley's not really a true Newcastle fan. But then everybody knew that.

Really smacks of desperation to raise a little bit more cash next season (when they're hoping to get another stadium sponsor in, not Ashley's firm).

The scary thing for Newcastle fans is that it means Ashley is starting to think he might still own the club next year.

Anyway, if all this turmoil means Peterborough can nick three points off them on Saturday, that'll do me. We need all the help we can get...

Could be worse... My team play at The Hailliwell Jones stadium, named after a local swank car dealer.

However, at least we built it new and didn't desecrate our history by renaming one of the most historic names in Rugby League The GPW Recruitment Stadium or the Grattan Stadium. Eh Stains? Eh Bradford?

Remember; it was nearly the Walkers Bowl *shudder*

Le Commentateur

I notice that the prat that designed the stadium lettering has used an imperial foot symbol for an apostrophe.

Should be ’ not '

I know! I was hoping nobody would mention that. Least of all someone from Sunny leics!

I understand the half time entertainment for the next home match is Mike Ashley taking a dump on a picture of Jackie Milburn and then shooting Shearer's dog.

Hopefully without the annoying twit from their ads singing as pre-match 'entertainment'!
Still, could be worse, it could be The eSure Stadium - who in their right mind would want a season ticket to sit in the Michael Winner End [1]?

Man city have the Collin Bell stand. However us reds call it the "Bell end".

wiffachip

as a Toon season ticket holder since 1973, I couldn't care less what the 'official' name for the ground is, they could call it Roker Park if they want, we'll still be rubbish

looking forward to the game tomorrow, if only for the predictable over-reaction from the supporters

the quality of the abuse ain't what it used to be though, anyone remember 'Westwood is a pirate' ? Now he was a tw@t

ddraver

The [url=http:////www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/newcastle-to-rename-stadium-every-30-seconds-200911052203/]Daily Mash's take[/url]:

NEWCASTLE TO RENAME STADIUM EVERY 30 SECONDS

NEWCASTLE United are to change the name of their historic St James's Park Stadium every 30 seconds, in accordance with the highest bidder.

Your bogus money making scheme hereThe previous sign was torn down yesterday and replaced with a scrolling digital screen displaying the constantly changing adverts.

Since the sign was erected it has changed the name of the stadium to that of 12 local minicab firms, a kebab house and a firm that makes scrolling digital advertisement signs.

Club owner Mike Ashley said: "I have huge respect for the fans of this club and I know this will not change the atmosphere here at the - hang on, let's see - Gateshead Nissan Repair Garage Stadium."

He added: "The Jesmond Hair and Nail Salon Stadium remains one of the finest in the country and this new revenue will allow us to upgrade the Singh's Newsagent, Tobacconist and Fancy Gifts stand."

But angry fan Charlie Reeves said: "I'm going to have to buy 30 seconds on the scrolling digital sign just so I can rename it the I am Disgusted With This Scrolling Digital Sign Stadium.

"That said, I have also paid for 10 minutes of The Citroen Saxo, 86000 miles, nice little runner, £1200 ono Stadium."

Ashley said he hopes to have a permanent sponsor in place by next summer, adding: "A group of Sunderland businessmen has tabled a £30m offer, which means we can all look forward to many happy years at Alan Shearer is a Colossal Tit Park."

Doesn't want to go to Keighley??? Obviously not a Timothy Taylor's drinker, then.

As for an entire sports venue being named after Chris Moyles, quite right - what on earth were they thinking? Though you'd expect the half-time pies to be plentiful and decent quality (assuming some Radio 1 salad-dodger hasn't scoffed 'em all).

i hope the commentators and SKY etc all keep calling it St James Park.
its like the 'linesmen'....what was the point of changing them to referee's assistant....and then the commentators went along with it like lemmings.....we all still call them linesmen where I watch football

:shock:
