'The Withdean', or 'Withdean'?

[The Large One]

Which bit?

"The Withdean Stadium".

When did it change its name?

The club, for one, refers to it as "Withdean Stadium", as does the Brighton & Hove City Council, its owners.

I used to live on the hill overlooking Withdean Stadium.

Not on the hill overlooking The Withdean Stadium.

Well they're going to feel pretty stupid when they realised the mistake they've made. Hopefully they'll correct their themselves when we move to The Falmer

Or, as I believe it used to say (if it doesn't now) "Withdean Sports Complex".

The Withdean.

Withdean is a suburb of Brighton, The Withdean is short for "The Withdean Stadium."

Can we have a poll.

Funny, it was called Withdean Stadium when my school had a sports day there in 1965. It was never called 'The Withdean'.

'The Withdean' makes anyone saying it sound like a thicky midlander. Such as, The Villa, The Blues, The Baggies none of which is ever referenced without being prefixed by The.

Thick Twats.

But it is not called The Withdean Stadium is it? All my life in Brighton it has been known as Withdean Stadium.
I have never known anyone before Mickey Adams turned up say I'm going to The Withdean Stadium.

Snap. 'The Withdean' is so cringeworthy. f***ing hell Micky, not content on ballsing up your second stint, you renamed a stadium which has had a perfectly decent name for decades.

 

[SUIYHP]

[Storer68]

The Wembley Stadium anyone

No, it sounds stupid.

Its Withers for me

Why isn't this a poll?

No "The" gets my vote.
