Assuming Pav turns out as good as I firmly think he will, it should be named the Roman Colosseum. :up:

Sol Campbell arena !!!

Hmmn, so in the best signing 08/09 thread you state Rasiak, then post the above.

I think it's great that they've installed the internet in Broadmoor. Gives me a whole new perspective that I'd have never considered. :grin:

Percy Dalton's Peanuts Arena?

Couldn't care less. We are and will always be Tottenham from the Lane, as the song has it.

It only makes sense, if we want the biggest bang for our buck, to go to China or the States. Unfortunately, capitalism aside, i also don't see us having the kind of fanbase in either of them countries to build a decent sales pitch on. Of the top ten largest companies in the world, 3 are Chinese, the other 7 are American (it carries on like that quite a way down the table too). Once you look outside of them two countries and lean towards a place where we actually have good relationships (or are ripe for investment, dodgy or otherwise), you're talking Korea (Peace Cup and all the work the players did during, Lee being at the club for a while), Russia (Pav) and perhaps South America (sure i read a piece a while ago about our club being involved in a scheme out there), which isn't actually that bad.

In the final quarter of 2008, the top ten companies trading in the world included (obviously still behind Exxon Mobil, who will one day own the moon, i expect) Gazprom in third (Russian), Petrobras from Brazil, Royal Dutch Shell and creeping in at the back, BHP Billiton, a mineral/mining company, an Australian/UK company.

UK you say?

The BHP Billiton Bowl... :think:

The company has recently cut back on operations, closing two of it's mines in Australia and the US, but with the financial climate as it is at the moment people who have money want to put it somewhere safe where there's less risk. To be honest, i'd say sponsoring a Prem football stadium that sells out, week in/week out, whether it be against Man U or Barcelona, Leyton Orient or Barnet, is an attractive prospect. Just depends where the men in charge are dangling their hooks.

We're a sort of oddity to the rest of the league, hence we get our fair share of live coverage too - it's a very tempting thing i'm sure, so here's hoping that it doesn't end up as the Norbert Dentresangle Dome or some other bizarre name :up:

But those sort of petro-chemical companies don't neccessarily need, or want to advertise their brand. Its far more likely to be a far or middle east, electricial or airline firm who want to build up their brand recognition in the UK

Qute possible, or Gulf Air. Although not sure either of them would want to be seen as the poorer cousin to the Emirates, which is, if we are completely honest what our naming rights would be compared to Arsenal.

Etihad. Flown with them, they're plush and the big gold font would look quite groovy on the front of the stadium, i reckon (though when choosing an Arabic sponsor, too much Arabic text, it'll start to look like some kind of temple)
