Walkers Stadium is no more...

[Sussex Nomad]

Sorry if this is fixtures but the Walkers Stadium now lies in ruins and has been renamed King Power Stadium... hope we don't get multiple name changes, they aren't the first.

Ok, let me swerve around this! All these sponsor named stadia, including our own, is a bit annoying innit? I know it is a revenue income, but would you prefer a ground to be named without a sponsor name? Like ours could have been Falmer Park or something?

 

[Gary Leeds]

To be hoenst most grounds have the "local" name given before the naming rights were sold and then the "bought" name. Who knows, one day we may officially play at Falmer rather than the Amex or "The Swan beer garden" stadium

 

[Albion Robster]

Does anybody know the length of the contract in which American Express has the naming rights at Falmer??

No, I would rather the £10Million American Express gave us to name the stadium Amex

 

[Easy 10]

I'll always know it as the Walkers, just as I'll always know ours as the Amex, regardless of name changes.

Bradfords has changed a few times now. I have no clue what its currently named, but then I always refer to it as Valley Parade anyway.

Was never disclosed.

Cheers Programme Seller.
I seem to remember Arsenal doing a deal with Emirates at the time for a 10-year deal.

Yes, 'Falmer Stadium' would have been peachy

Did they seriously pay us that much or was that plucked out of the air? Serious question.

 

[LA1972]

To me it will always be Falmer not Amex or Pot noodle or whoever is next

 

[Bakesy]

I just hope we never get sponsored by Brains Faggotts........

Wembley was gonna be sponsored by viagra,











but it meant they wouldn't be able to hold any semis.

Completely plucked, but I would imagine that it would be a contract of 10 years at least and who knows where we will be by then?

Upstanding stadium.

Was going to say, if they splashed us 10 mill I can see where our transfer cash is going!
