Welcome to the Macron Stadium, formerly known as ..........

The trouble with the modern trend of naming stadiums after sponsors is that they fail then to build or retain any sense of history and god knows it's hard enough to build any type of aura to hell holes like the one in Bolton.

Agreed, Brighton is a good example, their new ground is called The Amex stadium after a flippin' banking company or something like that.

Retching place.

Yep, though it's where we first met I believe.

Just another identikit stadium.

The worst thing about these new grounds is that they tend to be in the middle of nowhere and miles away from the town/city centres.

My abiding memory of my one visit there was the lengths we had to go to to get a drink. We ended up drinking a couple of cans sat in my brothers car.

The Bolton ground only seemed to have one pub near the ground, which was unsurprisingly rammed.

I've been there once. Think it was the game when Collymore got into a fight with Andy Todd. If my memory is semi-reliable [debatable] there was a Tesco close by. Pre-match, we were in a pub in Little Lever, which probably confirmed every Coronation Street stereotype possible.
