mikeyp102 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 So with the supposed take over supposedly being cancelled/failed, we need to generate more money. Apparently today the north stand was being cleaned (first time in yrs?). Maybe something is in the pipeline re the remaining of VP? I wouldn't be adverse as it would still be known as VP .

Spoony Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 If it means investment in players (which I don't think it necessarily would), call it Twatface McGinty's Bumfest Emporium for all I care. But in reality I don't think it's necessary unless it was part of a wholesale sponsorship takeover, like the Emirates or the Etihad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Do people call still call the Aviva Stadium Lansdowne Road? Exactly. No, because it's a different stadium. Lansdowne Road was knocked down and a new stadium built on top of the same site. It's known as the Aviva Stadium as it has no other name, and has never had any other name, in the same way the Emirates is known as the Emirates instead of anything else. Isn't the Emirates Ashburton Grove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We are in a very different situation to other clubs though as our USP is our history. With the possible expectation Anfield and Wembley it arguably the most famous stadium in England. Whenever we are on TV references are made to "this famous old stadium". Most of the naming rights deals in recent years have been for new stadiums, or ones moved into within the last 20 years or so. There just wouldn't be the value in it for us. As an example, I watch Spanish football and attracted to the older, more traditional clubs. I'm sure there's plenty who have a liking for Villa overseas for the same reason. I don't really agree with that. Most clubs have history but the only people who really care about that history are the fans. Modern football is about the here and now. Yippee aye ayyyy Yippee aye ooooo Twatface McGinty's Bumfest Emporiumers iiiiin the skyyyyyyy Can't say it isn't catchy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I really wouldn't mind if Villa Park was renamed. It could be the Red Bull Arena or Villa Park Powered By E.ON or any other stupid name if it brings in enough money for the club to be competitive in this league. Our stadium name is so ingrained that everyone fans and non-fans will call it Villa Park anyway.. Edited July 14, 2015 by Daweii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasley14 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We need to raise revenue so i would be up for this now. It's not like it even lasts forever, we could just do it for 1 long term deal then go back to calling it VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rob182 Posted July 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2015 The most subtle change would be if we could get sponsored by Walls, or another sausage company: Villa Pork Only one letter changed, to keep costs down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Id rather not and then find cheekier ways of finding a little extra money. Id sponsor a couple of bricks or a step somewhere £25 to sponsor a seat for the season for example is a little over a million pounds a year if you sold them all what we gonna get for the stadium naming rights a couple of million a year tops?

terrytini Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Not for me. If our name was already meaningless, like virtually every other club,I wouldnt care, but how many Clubs have their name in the Stadium name ? North Stand and Ellis Stand, change them no problem, wouldn't be the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Raise revenue for what? finishing 13th instead of 15th? Not worth it, rather it be known as Villa Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
