Lets Discuss Stadium Naming Rights

[Don Quixote]

I know for a fact they don’t. It’s a **** drink and they probably wouldn’t drink it anyway, but the lorry load of Mancs I know refuse point blank to buy it and would do so if it was the only ale on offer.

I’ve never owned a Vodafone product and never will and, although I’d never ****ing heard of them until their logo appeared on the ****e red/black/white strip of the MU Rowdies, I won’t be having anything to do with AIG, ever. Luckily I hate Nike anyway but I’d be boycotting them too if I didn’t already, just because they make that abomination of a kit.

Pathetic? Probably. Do I care? No!

I like Export.

Surprised at you Shags! In the end it's only sponsorship. I don't drink Carlsberg as it tastes like piss, AIG - well they deal with insurance so if theres was the best deal for me, of course I'd take it!

Boycotting products and companies because they appear on a shirt seems very bizarre to me...

Which is why the Glasgow Giants run a joint sponsorship, for that very reason, so there wouldn't be a boycott of goods!

ANFIELD by the way. ANFIELD. It's going to be called ANFIELD.

Thanks.

Sir Roger has never been seen wearing a pyjama top in public OR wandering dazed round the red light district of Amsterdam OR being told EXACTLY what me and Lasty got up to when we went for a walk and being so drunk/stoned he forgot!

Don't encourage her

I love barca's stance on shirt sponsorship. In this age when everything in football is geared towards cash, its their way of saying no amount of cash can buy the barca name or indeed the sacred Barca shirt. i'd love us to follow suit.

Although of course there IS a Merseyside connection - their first kit was borrowed Rugby shirts from Merchant Taylors School in Crosby (one of the founders was an ex-pat and old boy of the school), and they have retained the colours ever since... their stance is certainly impressive. In fact I'd love LFC to have the same ownership model (fans = members & owners) as Barcelona, but we will never have the position and history in our local culture that they have to make it viable.

Parry was originally against selling the naming rights, but after seeing the money Arsenal got for the naming rights to Ashburton grove he said " That is serious money and it would be remiss of us not to look at that option" I dont care who we sell th naming rights to.... (excluding anything that would cause embarrasment) it will still always be Anfield we are only moving over the road FFS.

and what happens wwhen the naming rights run out..............you sell it for another 10 years to someone else for even more money

By the way Neil, if you get the chance you've gorra see this film you'll love it:

Brothers of the head:

http://www.brothersofthehead.com/site

Brothers of the Head is the story of conjoined twins Tom and Barry Howe - a freak show turned proto-punk sensation.

As teenagers in the early 1970s, the Howe twins were plucked from obscurity by a music promoter who groomed them into a rock-and-roll act. Against all expectations, the boys - performing as The Bang-Bang - quickly appropriated their status as 'freaks' and spat it back in the form of searing, aggressive rock.

Grasping at the truth from an array of often unreliable accounts, the story follows the twins as they negotiate love, artistic rivalry, and the cruel suppression of their unique voice.

Brothers of the Head investigates our impulse to celebrate the extraordinary, and our tragic compulsion to claim, de-mystify and destroy it.

The screen writer is an aquaintance of mine. It's fab.
