Albion Arena

Am I the only one who doesn't really give a toss what it's called?

No.
The highest bidder can call it whatever they bleeding like as long as we get the money.

How long will it be before it is called the butt365 arena or sportingbutt.com stadium ?

The Ladbrokes Community Stadium has a nice ring to it I think.

Well there are restrictions (as we know) with betting firms and shirt sponsorship. You can't have the logo on kids goods for instance.

What happens with children's replica shirts then? Do they not have a sponsor on?

I'm not doubting you, I genuinely don't know!

Sorry I couldn't wait and had to do some research.

The kiddywinks who want a West Ham shirt get to display The Bobby Moore Fund on their chests, look:

But it would appear Spurs still sell shirts to kids with the Mansion Casino & Poker logo on, so what's going on here then?

They can call it "The Dog Shit Pie Stadium" if they want, as long as they pay loads of money for the priviledge. I'll still refer to it a Falmer, whatever they call it.

I couldn't give a f*** what it's called as long as we have enough money to build and maintain it without going into administration. This stadium could cripple us (look at Southampton). I would happily call it the Crystal Palace Arena if it meant we would be financially secure.

May be wrong, I think there maybe a period of grace where existing sponsorship deals are allowed to run out.

It's technically illegal as you are not allowed to target children with gambling advertising.

It's a difficult one to police, since some kids may actually be bought an adult size shirt.

Because of this legislation, it will be interesting to see what happens if a community stadium with doubles up as an education facility is sponsored by a gambling firm.

Its a bit of a grey area.

This seasons kiddies wolves shirts will have the choice of the betting-company sponsor or the wolves community trust, which is a charity that sponsors sports events for either disabled or deprived children.
