Big difference between renting and long term leasing. Also I don't think Next shares its stores with another competitor brand.

Wigoon still won the league last year so how does that figure in the argument about owning your own stadium? Not owning it is not a barrier to winning.

I see the difference lying in the future. Club like Saints, Hull, Leeds, Warrington, Hudds, can use their facilities to genrate considerable amounts of income. Wigoon have very little option available to expand their revenues, other than increasing attendances or shop sales. The off field revenues of a well run club could dwarf whatever the club can generate through the turnstiles at a couple of dozen home game throughout the season.

It can make it more difficult yes but that doesn't mean impossible.

New Stadium name to be announced on Tuesday!

Tres interesant. One wonders what name it could be... The suspense is killing me...

When is the away kit revealed? Are we being ultra cynical and not revealing it until after Christmas so people actually bother to buy the home kit?

Patience!

On Try Time last night, McManus said it was going to be announced within the next 'two or three weeks' so I figure it is imminent.

I hear the sponsor is “exceedingly good”

aah!

Mr Kipling? The Mr Kipling's Exceedingly Good Stadium? The Mr Kipling Stadium?

I can't see how that name would work.

Bisto Stadium?

Premier Foods Stadium?

Bisto and Mr Kipling are both Premier Foods. But aren't they Cadbury? That would be better.

We're going to be putting together afternoon tea at this rate.

I wonder if bakewell tarts will be included for sale at the bars?

So it's not Langtree Park like was rumoured on here?

I quite like that name actually.

Let's face it, nobody has a clue what it's going to be called. It's all just speculation.

So long as it isn't the Atora Shredded Suet Bowl.


(another RHM / Premier brand).

The Hovis soft white Stadium

Away kit to be revealed in January according to the nice lady in the Saints shop.
Quelle surprise !

This was also reported in this month's Forty20 magazine (they did an article on our kit and the process clubs go through when planning their kits).

Well it's looking very likely we have our name for the new stadium. The signs going up today read 'Langtree Park'

The stadium or the whole development? I can't see the stadium name going up in print before the announcement.

The area is supposed to be called Langtree Park but we could still have that as a stadium name. We will just have to wait and see what comes out at the press conference tomorrow. The name would have to go up before the naming so that it can be unveiled.



On the actual main Entrance it says 'LANGTREE PARK' The road leading up to the stadium from PX is called McManus Drive. The road signs are up for all to see.

The whole site is called Stadium Industry Park.
