The stadium should be named

Eastlands for me thanks. It's easier to say when you're pissed!!!

Sorry mate - think you just dropped your tampon there.

And why would I, being male, have a tampon?

Or is that just meant to be rude snigger, snigger?

Either say something worth saying or keep your (deleted) mouth shut, (deleted).

I am particularly fond of "City Of Manchester Stadium".

Every time COMS is mentioned on here or elsewhere, it kind of sounds wrong. So does 'Eastlands'.

Think of the great teams in Europe: The San Siro; The Bernabeu; The Nou Camp. These are names that inspire a certain awe. Even 'The Emirates' sounds good.

COMS or Eastlands doesn't sound that great. We need a The............. name for the stadium. We are moving into a great new era and our stadium should have an awesome name.

My suggestion: The Mercer Stadium.

I think we need something like that.

They may SOUND good, but Camp Nou means New Field, the Santiago Bernabeu is named after a fascist former president and the San Siro would translate as Saint Cyril!!!!!!

The San Siro is one of the iconic stadiums in Europe.
Except San Siro is the name of the district in Milan, the stadium is situated.
It's actually called Guiseppe Meazza
Not quite as catchy !

I didn't say it wasn't iconic, I implied that whilst it sounds pretty cool, it translates as "Saint Cyril", a name which is outdated at best in this country, and would be laughed at out of context. It'd be like calling the COMS, Beryl Stadium.

As an aside, surely the best stadium name on the Planet is the Estadio Azteca, in Mexico City?

Definately right up there.
Must say I've always liked the Estadio Maracana in Rio.
A ground which was capable of holding 200,000 in the 1950's
And since it's renovation two years ago, is once again a superb ground.

The 'City' of 'Manchester' Stadium will do for me, it's just a bit of a mouthful sometimes.

Maybe. But no amount of abuse directed at you could ever be described as unnecessary.

Stop stalking me, you creepy little tosser.
