Stadium Name

I've long been disappointed with the stadium name since the demise of Peel Park. The Crown Ground has always seemed a bit insipid, being named after the nearby pub. I could understand the 'Interlink Express' or the 'Fraser Eagle', given the club's need for the income raised by sponsorship.

However I would love the stadium to have a more interesting name, eg the Giant Axe at Lancaster, Craven Cottage, The Hawthorns, Ibrox etc.

Given it's geographical location how about, the NORI, the Brickyard or the Old Kilns. Just a few suggestions but I'm sure someone on the forum might come up with something better than the Crown Ground
 
Hopefully next season the ground will be sponsored and will, therfore, have a new name.
 
I'm happy with the Crown, myself - I like the pitch behind the pub implications. Neat and tidy to get Crown Paints as our ground sponsors though ....
 
A Sponsorship Deal is a must, ideally something that will inject a large amount of cash into the coffers
 
Bollocks....................

Let’s be true to what we have; The Crown Ground or Livingstone Road will do us fine. I’m sure in time some Dank sounding company will come along making us sound like a bad night out; but until then lets be true to ourselves.

On, Stanley On! Play up at the Crown.
 
Ground sponsorship is a very useful revenue stream if it is actually actively being seeked. I am surprised that nothing has been done since Fraser Eagle went bust, being perfectly honest I am concerned that the Commercial side hasn't sorted something. There was a six figure some lost from Fraser Eagle and this then started the process of our cashflow problems. We should learn from this and get somebody onboard to sponsor the ground.

Totally agree Doug (oh 'eck thats nearly as worrying as when I agree with Cashy :rolleyes:).
And to be honest, whatever else it's been called through sponsorship deals, most folk have always referred to it as 'The Crown Ground'.

Oh well! It looks like I'm in a small minority of fans who would wish to have a more evocatively named ground, perhaps with a link to the history of the immediate area. The NORI would be my choice.

However I gain a little bit of comfort from Oscar Wilde: "To disagree with three quarters of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity."
