Done. And agree with others that the last question needs more options. Personally speaking I couldn't really care less what a stadium is called, so to ask which I prefer, I have no real answer.

Your support is not that great
Agree with all of that. I can't bear calling Dean Court "The Vitality Stadium" but that's because we know it's really called Dean Court.
The Amex has almost become an abstract word for me ... I don't think of American Express cards when I say it. As you say, it's what the ground has been known as from the start.
I've never been keen on the "community" bit of the stadium name. To me it's just meaningless PR, like anything that's labelled "the people's" whatever. But I don't dwell on it.

Thanks for the feedback. I have had a similar response about the last question and I completely understand that but I'm trying to compare a traditional name to a corporate name. Also, I couldn't really include the Withdean Stadium because it was classed as a temporary home. Appreciate your comments though.

My personal opinion is that, yes there is because a traditional name or one based on location gives the club a sense of identity. If they decided to go for a corporate name then I feel it is meaningless to the club, its fans and the area. Thanks for completing it!

No because it was a run down shit hole in the end with no real prospects of being redeveloped into a sizeable modern stadium due to it's position with houses behind the East Terrace BUT it was sold off by asset strippers and turned into a shopping centre. For that reason it was our spiritual home when we were forced to play at Gillingham and then an athletics track at Withdean. Many fans refused to even drive past it until the Amex was built many years later. The Amex is fantastic but is not really ideally situated and I guess we would never have got a stadium like that if we hadn't been fleeced by Archer and Stanley and Tony Bloom wasn't our fairy godfather, taking over the reigns from the magnificent Dick Knight
The Goldstone still has a place in my heart although this is just my opinion btw
