hamster Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 assuming that new owners only buy the football club, what would people like or expect the staium to be called? Although I like 'St Mary's Stadium' and bearing in mind that all four stands have their names well established, I think the 'Ted Bates Stadium' would be nice, after all, his name and image epitomise (sp) all that is great and good about our club and city. His spirit is the 'Spirit of Southampton' that people speak of imho. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted 27 April, 2009 Share Posted 27 April, 2009 I would like the new owners to get a sponsor and pay the Club the value of that sponsorship, We need every penny and dropping "St Marys" for a bigger payment is sensible. In the past we tried to preserve the name and ended up with less cash. And cash is what we ran out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW11_Saint Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I'd rename it the The McMenemy Stadium in recognition of our most sucessful manager and to really **** Lowe off. In which case you'd probably need to call it the "Leon & Lawrie Stadium". Nothing at all wrong with St. Mary's Stadium, and I wouldn't expect that to change (although if RB wants to buy us and call it the Virgin (St.) Mary Stadium - fine with me!).
