How much do the likes of arsenal and man city get per year from ground sponsorship? We only get £1.2M for the Reebok. I can understand a new ground getting sponsorship but not one that has had it's name for over a hundred years!

We only got £100m for 15 years naming rights to the stadium and c.£30m for 7/8 years of shirt sponsorship as we were desperate for the cash

Isn't Sports Direct owned by Mike Ashley?

i.e. He's using the Football club to boost his other companies which would explain why they got no payment

History and heritage in football are massive, this isnt the NFL, nor is it some concrete new bowl crap stadium, its one of the best stadiums Britain has, its steeped in history.

So I cant believe some Newcastle fans are genuinely in favour of this. Selling years and years of history down the tyne for what? £8m? Whats that these days? A Gael Clichy? Thats if it actually does get reinvested in the playing side.

I hope for all those for the change that it gets bought by the Black Cat firework company.

yes he does, this is why he changed it.

obvious move tbh, generates more marketing and exposure for his company.

Newcastle Council's statement on this:

quote:
Cabinet Member for Quality of Life, Coun Henri Murison, said: “The name of St James’ Park has been synonymous with Newcastle United football club and the city for more than 130 years.

It is recognised around the world and the decision to change it, without consultation, will upset the overwhelming majority of fans who loyally support the team week in and week out.

While I understand the commercial reasons for renaming sports venues when they relocate, this is not the case in this instance, and some things are beyond profit when they mean so much to people.

The football club is part of the beating heart of the city and while the council values its relationship with the club, it has no plans to change any existing wayfinding signs which bear the name St James’ Park.

As far as the fans and Newcastle City Council are concerned, the home of Newcastle United will always be known as St James’ Park”.

Too romantic for the modern age.

If it were the case that history and heritage were 'massive' every club in the whole of the English league structure wouldn't be ruining their history by plastering brand names all over there strips for a start.

In fact re-branding a stadium for a set duration is the lesser of the 2 evils.

Mermaid tails

Very square looking ones at that. All badges must be 100% realistic apparently.
