City Of Manchester Stadium Or Eastlands: You decide!

[jrb]

Depending on which media outlet your watching, listening too or reading, it's either one or the other. It's never the same. (arrgh!)

TBH it get's on my nerves. It seems we're the only football club that has 'two names' for it's stadium across the media.(TV, Radio, Newspapers, etc)

I don't ever recall old Trafford, Anfield or any other football ground being called by any other name than it's original name in the media.(feel free)

This being the case, it's about time the club issued a polite directive to all media outlets to call our stadium the 'City Of Manchester Stadium' and not (fucking) Eastlands.(take note Sky!)

Can a MOD please start a poll off. (not got permission)

Choices.

1. City Of Manchester Stadium
2. Eastlands.

Highbury was known as 'the arsenal stadium', maine road was 'manchester city stadium' etc when they started out. It happens with all new stadiums. In about 20 years, it will be known by one name.

We just have to wait for the name to develop....

It's Eastlands... the press have decided. Short and sharp, everything gets abbreviated in newspaper land and so Eastlands it is.
