Article about stadium naming in the Graun:

I hope to fuck that we never leave B6 6HE, not least because you know that we'd be forever playing at the 'PetsAtHome Stadium' or whatever for the rest of the club's existence.  Which may still happen, of course, but staying where we are at least makes it a less automatic decision.

Too late for that, they already sponsor the local stadium in Springfield, Ohio.

Have we refurbished an old paddle boat from the Mississippi ?

Embarrassing

Update (Just spotted the earlier post from Brazilian Villain ©️) great minds and all that.

You've been on here long enough to know what the score is. Rationality and reason have no business here....

That flat-roof pub looking thing adds fuel to the moving stadium theory. 2 years, or will it be like the language cabins at my old school, temporary for at least 20years.
