I read today that Wimbledon have gone away  from having their ground names by some sponser ,

They are selling £10 tickets to their fans to name the ground in their name for one game and stands , bars , toilets, ect  and hope to raise £7 million.

Maybe town should do something along these lines for our new ground.

Agree ?

Selling 700,000 tickets at a tenner a go is ambitious for a club with a core fanbase of about 5,000.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

"Petes Palace"
"Lukes Loos"
"Brechin Bar"
"Skaface stand"

I see what you're saying, something along those lines is a good idea but you have to be careful especially if you was to change the name of the ground every other week! 😏

BARRETTS STAND.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I think they will be selling tickets every week so over the season they might  get close to that figure .

Edit       over several seasons I should have said,
