naming of the ground

[aj2k77]

What cheapens the ground is having wanker players and shit teams routinely turning us over whilst their fans jump around on the side of the pitch and everyone goes months without seeing a win there. They can prefix it with whatever they want if they're going to turn us from being a laughing stock in to a serious team again.

I was discussing ground re-naming with a Man City-supporting friend this morning and he made a couple of comments. (1) The naming of the Etiad has been successful only because the original "City of Manchester Stadium" was too wordy and Eastlands, his preference, didn't have time to stick.  (2) On the subject of original names, the most successful renaming of a venue (as opposed to a football ground) that he can think of is the Millennium Dome which now absolutely nobody ever refers to as the Millennium Dome.

Libertys on the Hagley road will always be that to me

Even da Wiki says that its commonly referred to as 'The Dome'

[Mister E]

If he can re generate the area around VP and make us a more attractive proposition then go for it.  Most importantly, if he can open a pub that doesn't fleece the fans for entry he can call it whatever he likes.

I hope he realises he can't move the residents of Witton Lane into a Nechells tower block while he flattens their homes to build a new stand, even if he does offer them jobs in the Lotus Health Food Superstore on the Serpentine to help pay the rent.

Bearing in mind what was done around the area of the Birds Nest in Bejing - where people were summarily moved without consultation - it's an interesting point!

[Mister E]

Whatever it's named it will always be known as Villa Park.

Perhaps we can create a new formation where one player can play in the Lotus Position.

Libertys on the Hagley road will always be that to me

To me and a few others on here it will always be The Romulus.

[wittonwarrior]

To me and you it will always be Villa Park - the Holte End the Holte End, the Witton Lane you know by now, Trinity Road just the same and the North Stand  the Witton End - twist the names as much as you want - do I care! 

Now onto the important things in life - find me our players and a manager.
