OFFICIAL (?) New ground will not be called White Hart Lane

[OpenHeartZoo]

If the Al Qaeda naming rights deal is anything to go by, the revenue seems a bit of a lean side.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_Stadium#Name

The total deal is £100m with stadium naming rights for 15 years, and shirt rights for 8 years. Going by the stadium alone, the revenue is £6.6m a year, with 8 years free shirt sponsorship. Or collectively £100m / (15 + 8) = £4.3m a year. For a club like ours, seems a bit low to me.

I'm sure Levy could wrangle us a better deal than that.

Oh no , that's horrid.In these times when so much of this countries history and culture is swept aside , this is just sad.

We need to hold onto history , how are you supposed to have pride in something named after a coporate fat-cat company ? Bad enough having "Mansion" in letters/logo large enough you can see from space!

:bang:

Ut oh - TV rights and all, are we going towards 'The Virgin Stadium'?

It all depends on which consortium buys us. I would imagine that it will be a Middle-East company, possibly petroleum operated, or a multi-facete company such as Virgin.

We are tottenham, super tottenham, from the Walmart Play-as-you-Shop Drive-in Arena, we are tottenham...

Oooh yeah, i like that

 

[Leon82]

It will be named after some corporation - believe me

Tottenham Hotspur is a company listed on LSE, why not called the stadium after this corporation:grin:

 

[Rupstoh]

Which club does Virgin sponsor by the way?

 

[ErikTheViking]

What's the price? what if every spurssupporter around the globe got together and startet a company called, let's say.. "White Hart Lane", and collected enough money and financed the stadium? yes? no?

 

[danny]

What about "The Mansion" ? any takers?

 

[TheChosenOne]

With Chinese and Indian economies on the rise we could be looking at investment from Asia.

Maybe summat like "Hutchison Whampoa" who owned Rabbit/Orange/3G and many other companies..

Or The Indian motor company "TATA"

Both quaint names.

 

[KentuckyYid]

It's ok boys and girls. Fuller's brewery will be naming it 'London's Pride'

 

[mil1lion]

Cant we get 'The White Hart' Pub to sponser it?

 

[ShelfSide18]

Guys, yes it'll be given a new name but it'll still be 'The Lane' in my eyes. Just because some corporate soul sucker will give it some awful name we can, and will still refer to it as WHL - if anything we are moving nearer to the road named 'white hart lane'.

Cheer up lads, there's no way i'm gonna call it the Budweiser Bowl.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Hows about DHL being the corp sponsor ?

Then the name would be WHL-DHL (or DHL-WHL)

I was going to post that earlier but forgot it :think:

i was thinking along the lines of this myself could us the fans buy the name and call it WHL there must be some way around it:shrug:

 

[CosmicHotspur]

It can never be anything other than White Hart Lane as far as I'm concerned, no matter what sponsorship deal or financing there is. If we continue to call it that and ignore any new name, we can make sure we don't lose this important slice of Spurs history.

We may need a properly organised protest later on.

Had to laugh, even if the whole business makes me want to weep.

The Durex Stadium

 

[double0]

We the fans should sponsor the stadium name if such a thing is possible and retain its name White Hart Lane.

 

[Real_madyidd]

Spearmint Rhino Stadium?

Playboy Palace?

Black and Decker Bowl?

No, the "New Look" White Hart Lane!
