Re: Stadium Naming Rights

Do we need the money?

Why not the Frank Swift Stadium? That would, really, really, wind the fuckers up.

Does FFPR mean anything to you?

Re: Stadium Naming Rights

Due to the new fair play rules its a necessary evil i'm afraid to get more income to balance the books
More income we get the more we can spend without Fifa trying to fook us over

Yes, but stadium naming rights are a drop in the proverbial. Reducing the wage bill and increasing capacity are what needs to happen.

Something like £8-10m a year is a drop?..tell me, you realise that it´s equal to us upping our attendances to around 65-70k moneywise or?

Re: Stadium Naming Rights

When you consider that all of our principal sponsors right now, excluding Thomas Cook and Key 103 who predate our current owners, are companies that Sheikh Mansour has a sizable holding in I can't imagine there is much chance of the stadium naming rights going to a company that isn't linked to him. I think one of the big draws for him when buying City was that any money his companies pumped into sponsorship deals would make their way back into his pocket.

Re: Stadium Naming Rights

We've been used to this naming rights thing for 20 years here in Yankland.

Main thing is, don't get a stupid sounding one. Etihad sounds cool, Apple would be epic. Or you could get really unlucky. :/

I think for a lot of stadiums that get named after a corporation, the old stadium name still sticks with the fans. Just like how New England stadium is technically Gilette Stadium, a lot of people still call it Foxborough, after the town. Same would be for us, I think. YOu aren't going to hear many people say 'I'm heading to the Ferostaal (sp)', it'll still be COMS or Eastlands.

Naming rights definitely is no big deal and a great source of revenue.

Re: Stadium Naming Rights.

Isn't there an Etihad Arena in Australia?

Re: Stadium Naming Rights.

No surprises.

What will be a surprise to most is the size of the deal......
