RoytonLatics Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The names a shocker, but I'll get over it. It's the money for the club that's more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Renaming the stadium is a very small price to pay in relation to the finances boosting our medium-term future and providing a more sold platform to develop. Hope this includes OAFC receiving NUFC players in loan to boost us on pitch as well as off it. Expect some critics about history being devalued etc but past is nothing, future is everything. As long as we keep the home shirt blue as 'oh when the [insert colour other than blue]" won't have the same feeling.....

Latics_Fanatic Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I think the .com makes it sound :censored:, but we need to think of the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It won't make the slightest bit of difference we'll, all still call it Boundary Park, take the money and run I say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_ktf Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Great news. Said when it was first mooted, the fact we're mixing it with Ashley an not trev's paper shop makes me feel a little bit big time again. The name sounds awful, but who cares!

Ackey Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 My only outrage comes from my inability to thus far make a rude pun about the name!! It's unacceptable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The Sports Direct.com Arena sounds sort of OK... But The Sports Direct.com Park sounds bloody awful, however, it's the money that counts and I couldn't really give a toss about the name. Bring it on and hopefully a bit of success could be just around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshgaz Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Usually I'm against everything they stand for especially the appalling terms and conditions they subject their staff to. However if it benefits oafc then I'm more than happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
