Done. Will you be asking rags what they think of “The Swamp”?

Done Fraser, good luck.
When you mention about the ground being named after the location are you aware of the Chelsea tale (dunno if true or urban myth) where some fans arrived at Heathrow airport and took a taxi to Stamford Bridge, ending up where the battle took place about 5 miles outside York
Edit:
Article below from Guardian, it was Earl Spencer’s daughter and taxi was from Althorp Estate near Northampton.

Thing with corporate names is that only the first one sticks - so I still think of Bolton as Reebok, Stoke as Brittania, had our stadium had a first name that stuck then we would still call it that - but as said above Eastlands and City of Manchester didn't really resonate with anyone - so I suspect Etihad will stick even if sponsor changes. For a traditionally named stadium the sponsors have no chance.

Perhaps for your PHD you should focus on the long term mental impact of the Gene Kelly stand?
I for one am interested in the direction of your career after your degree, how on earth are you going to pay off those student loans?
