StewieGriffin Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'd like "Villa Park" to be incorporated somehow (a bit like SHA have done with their I guess), but as long as it isn't something horrific like The Aldi Arena or Primark Park then I can live with it - tis the modern age of football sadly. Adidas is the obvious one I guess. Who sponsors the Milwaukee Bucks' arena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It’s only ever been a matter of time. Personally I am usually happy to change with the times, and I’d have no issue over branding the Stands. Im not sure about the name of the ground though. I’ve always been ( probably pointlessly) pleased that the name of the ground includes the name of the Team. It’s “Villa Park”, there’s no “Liverpool Stadium” etc.....I know Cardiff’s is Cardiff City but that was very contrived, and recent. The only one I can think of is Port Vale. So, whilst I wouldn’t lose sleep over it, I’d prefer the ground name to be left alone....especially as additionally I doubt the money we got would make much difference in the scheme of things. What I’m pretty sure of is that when there is a decision to be made, money will be the only factor to be weighed up. And I guess that’s understandable nowadays.

sidcow Posted November 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2018 If its this or sell half the squad and settle for years of lower championship football then so be it. When was the last time Rackhams was Rackhams or The Metropole Hotel was The Metropole. How about Villa Park Originals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted November 10, 2018 Administrator Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm still annoyed that people call it Villa Park. It has always been "Thee Lower Grounds" to me. None of this new fangled "Villa Park" to me. but seriously; it's just a name. None of us support Villa Park, we're simply used to calling the ground by that name. It doesn't have a special meaning and isn't particularly historical. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 'something' Villa Park would be fine by me. I'd imagine that they would plaster the new name on the outside of the Doug Ellis stand. You get a decent view of that going along the expressway and M6 so would work as a giant adboard too. Surely that exposure would be worth £20m a year to one of Sawiris or Eden's businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Since he (Wes Edens) owns (or part owns or whatever) Fortress Investment Group perhaps we could name it: Villa Park Fortress Edited November 10, 2018 by sne 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I've long since made my peace with this. It's as much a part of the progress of the game now as the offside rule, all seater stadiums and paying average gobshites 100k a week. Im not going to criticise anybody who has strong opposing opinions to doing this. But if you want to compete you have to finance it somehow and this is one of the easiest and most profitable. So there it is. Its a cliche but everybody will still call it Villa Park regardless and if the end result is a top team on the pitch, so be it. Interestingly, I dont recall Chelsea or Liverpool ever changing the name of the stadium under Purslow. But im prepared for it if it has to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 In Bern we still call our stadium the “Wankdorf” and not the official name “Stade de Suisse”. I imagine it’ll be the same with Villa Park, so I’m fine with the name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I’m quite surprised that people don’t care about this at all. I’d hate to see the stadium renamed. If it was a decision between doing that or the club going completely bust, then sure. Anything else though and get to ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really put their foot in it when they changed the Welly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
