Stadium Name............

[FLOG GNAW]

Not at all, and given the choice, had you still been at the Gallstone, you would have wanted redevelopment over a brand new Falmer.

I want us to stay at Selhurst at all costs, rather than a new ground.
This seems to back me up. SELHURST or NEW STADUIM - CPFC BBS

It took me a while to figure out that

Build a new stadium on the site of the NSC once they have finished using it as a training camp for the Olympics.

Meant National Center and not North Stand Chat

Does it have to be geographically correct? Why can't we just call it The New Goldstone?

Or The Goldstone Community Stadium if it absolutely has to contain the word Community...

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

Indeed. If I had my way it would simply be called 'Falmer Stadium'.

i'd go one further, and chop off the 'stadium'. works for liverpool.

The Goldstone is behind us-time to leave it in the past. It's been said many times-it wasn't exactly the luckiest of places for us.

New ground, new name please.

 

[fataddick]

You should choose some name that subconsciously encourages people to go there, eg The Good Game Stadium. Then people can say "are you going to the Good Game on Saturday", "I went to the Good Game today" and everything will seem so much more positive, even if you're playing shite. Also, you could get Bruce Forsythe to do the official opening.

As Falookaville seems not to have caught on,I'd go with the Withdeanwombat Awena.

Well that's good then because your not going to get one, poverty ridden SCUM.

I don't like the idea of any reference to the Goldstone, for the same reason I don't want to revert to the old club crest - the past is the past. We need to focus on the future.

I like the 'San Queero' as a unofficial name too.

Oh and yes, I think we should ditch the current club badge when we leave Withdean.

Why?

 

[GYM]

I agree with just calling it Falmer.

That is its name.

It has been for ten years.

When you think back at the chant we used to sing.

I wont be. We want the Brighton and Hove Albion community stadium.

It always has been and will live long in the memory as "We want FALMER"

Therfore it must be called Falmer.

 

[SW17]

Why not go old school and call it Lewes Road or even The University Ground?

Yep, or Village Way.

 

[Easy 10]

Falmer is just where we've plonked it though, its not really a proper name for a football stadium.
Arsenals isn't called "Ashburton Grove". Readings isn't called "Junction 11 of the M4".

Nope, for me the stadium needs a name. Be it a corporate one then so be it, but to me, 'Falmer' is just a grotty piss-ridden village full of cackbadgers who we had to fight to get the thing.

I see what your saying. I wont quote all the stadiums in the country that are named either after the street they are "plonked on" or the area they were "plonked in"

For me I dont want the ground to have some soulless sponsor sucking the esense out of it. The ground already has a history as Falmer and a soul of its on.

What ever its called needs to be considered very carefully and be relevent to the club and ground. I dont want to see us take a sponser because they offered the most money.

Maybe we should call it Donatello's he could do the catering in the stands too. lol

 

[Everest]

I'll always think of it as "Flamer"

 

[dolphin123]

The silverstone.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Someone coined the name "The San Queero" on here a while back.

I REALLY like that.

I did like the Benderbéu too, to be fair.

Maybe we should put it to a vote? Be rude not to I'd have thought.

 

[pork pie]

Whatever it is, I hope/wish we can drop the "Community" bit from the title.
Makes it sound like a bloody youth club.

Agreed, either that of a Conference club's ground. I guess it goes back to the Dick Tight small minded era, that now looks to be over at long last.

That made I laugh. Any other related names? Craven Cottaging?

Pride Park? Already gone!
