Holte End to be renamed?

[Lastfootstamper]

This is similar to the Greater Brum & Black Country discussion for the wider new West Midlands combined authority.

Do you want to stick to your roots and identity or for increased investment, change your name?

It's not really the same. Dudley, Tipton and Wednesbury would still be called Dudley, Tipton and Wednesbury.

Plus you do something like this 'on the up' to maximise revenue,you don't do it when your stock is the lowest it had been for years.

If they can get a worthwhile amount, do it. I can't imagine it would be a mind blowing amount for one stand.

May as well go for the whole stadium.  I wonder which brands would wish to be associated with us at the moment.

[Risso]

I wouldn't mind too much, but I'd be surprised if the deals turn out to be that significant, and even if they are, I can't see the majority of the money going into the playing side, and then, even if it does, it'll probably be Paul Lambert spending it.

Ive no problem with it, I just hope they move on to the Doug Ellis stand next,

Witton Lane to me and always will be. It they rename the Holte and brings money into the club is ok but it will always be the Holte to me.

At least we are looking for a proper commercial manager. That's another positive from this. Can we employ some coaches next please.

How many people still call it Witton Lane though? I guarantee very few under 30 will call it that and that's the way the Holte would go. We would all still have our memories of nights there and the name but the next generation would have bugger all and would know it as the ''Macron End'' etc

Why not rebrand the North Stand !! That name means nothing to anyone

[villa `cross the mersey]

I look forward to the future commentaries on World Sky Sports - " Hey Hank just listen to those Birmingham Villans holler from the Twinkies stand"

[exigo]

Maybe Sky could sponsor it to make life easier.

"Yippee-ay-eh, yippee-ay-oh, Sky Enders in the Holte."

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm not convinced any income would be used to buy new players

[olaftab]

Maybe they taking their time to make sure they recruit the right person. Everything dose'nt always need to be done yesterday.

Somethings do need to be done with speed. He is 4 months into his job. His back ground is commercial management so really it should not take him that long to fill a post he recognised as key to his own success.

And it means nothing to sponsors so no ones going to pay much!

[hilts_coolerking]

I don't have a problem with this in principle, I just hope it's a company that we have no good reason to dislike or be ashamed of.
