Will anyone actually call Falmer 'the Amex'?

[seagull_in_malaysia]

I can't stand it when stadiums get corny sponsorship names like 'the Emirates' or 'the Reebok stadium' etc.

To me, the ground has always been, and will always be, Falmer. So is anyone else going to be referring to it was Falmer, or is the general consensus going to be the Amex?

It's already happening ?

As sponsors go, it's a lot better than most.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I already call it the Amex.

The name is fine - and they paid the money - they get to choose the name.

 

[The Large One]

I already call it the Amex.

The name is fine - and they paid the money - they get to choose the name.

Talking of 'fine', club employees get fined for calling it 'Falmer' instead of 'The Amex' or 'The American Express Community Stadium'.

 

[Stoo82]

I like The Amex as a name.

 

[dingobruce]

We could call it American Express @ Falmer maybe?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Almost everybody will call it the Amex.

 

[Martinf]

Cant see any problem calling it The Amex.

I personally will NEVER refer to Falmer as The A***, or indeed any other corporate name, why should I? They are in it for themselves and no other reason, I owe them nothing. and before anyone starts refering to it as a 'cool' name (yes, that has been used on here) remember it is only for 10 years. I remember at school people thinking it was 'cool' to have British Caledonian' splashed across the shirts, seven years later NOBO wasn't so 'cool'

 

[Notters]

I prefer Amex to Falmer. Falmer reminds me of nimbys.

Totally agree.

By sponsoring the stadium, they are injecting cash into the club you support. This money can be used to buy better players, and pay higher wages. This will therefore increase your enjoyment of watching the Albion play. Not to mention the fantastic new stadium that you will be sitting in will need to be paid off. Yes the loans are interest free but good uncle Tony will still be wanting his money back...

 

[Jam The Man]

I'll be amazed if the vast majority don't call it The Amex..

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I also have no problem if people want to call it Falmer. But I agree with Notters - it reminds me of Nimbys.

 

[seagull_in_malaysia]

Yes, I agree that the company is sponsoring the stadium and stuffing money into the club, but by that logic surely we should be calling it the Tony Bloom stadium or the Lizard stadium! How about the IT First stadium? They pump money into the club too. Of the pukka pies stadium? Or how about naming it after the fan thats bought the most tickets over the years? They, after all, have also pumped in money...

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

it could be called the big floppy donkey dick arena for all i care. it'd still be an absolutely incredible stadium.

 

[Huple]

The name Falmer reminds me of the struggle of which we should all be proud of and will go down as part of our history.

We want Falmer
We want Falmer

but we`ll call it the Amex when we get there

nah

 

[GOM]

I call it the Falmer Amex.

Best of both worlds

Falmer

What ? They have bought the naming rights. That is what they paid for.

"And we're just going over to 'The Donkey Dick' for a goal update - Kammy"

"Unbelievable Jeff. A thunderous drive from Elliott Bennet has nearly taken the roof off The Gloryhole Stand as it ripped into the net. Brighton 4, Palace 0"

It could work
