Sponsorship of the Arena Stadium

Darlo_Pete · Post by **Darlo_Pete** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 8:54 am

I thought the Northern Echo's sponsorship of the ground was only until the end of last season. Does anybody know if a new sponsor has been found and if so who?

I dont know why they cant just call it Neasham Road and have done with the stupid names season after season.

If someone wants to sponsor something, let them sponsor one of the stands or something like that.

Businesses will pay a lot more to have their name on the front of stadium.

more people will see the name of a business on the front of the stadium then if you were to name each stand year after year. also skysports and all the papers saying the name of the stadium all the time

I hope any new name change incorporates the word Arena. It wouldn't be the same if it was called something like stadium or park.

quaker4life · Post by **quaker4life** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 8:50 pm

You were close hawkeye!

2003 - 2004 Reynolds Arena (

)
2004 - New Stadium
2004 - 2005 Williamson Motors Stadium
2005 - Darlington Football Stadium
2005 - 2007 96.6 TFM Darlington Arena
2007 - 2009 Balfour Webnet Darlington Arena
2009 - Northern Echo Darlington Arena

I think that's it!

PS Pete it's a stadium not an arena!

I'm sticking with White Elephant Lane because it made me laugh

Hawkeye · Post by **Hawkeye** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 8:51 pm

If, for some obscure reason, Bruce Arena decided to sponsor it, would it be called the Bruce Arena Arena or would the second Arena be omitted?

Now there's a whole new debate. Discuss.

Or if Bruce Arena and Tina Arena clubbed together their finances to sponsor it, it could be called "The Arena Arena Arena"

I agree, and I dont care about the money sponsors will give us, I want a normal, steady, well run football club that works within its means and builds slowly but surely, and part of a normal football club is having a ground with a proper name!

Quakerz · Post by **Quakerz** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 11:12 pm

Being normal and steady involves maximising income streams, ie if you can sell it (stadium name) you sell it.

LOL

You guys are funny!

Just remember that a few months ago we would all have happily called it the 'Ivor Weiner Arena' if someone would have given us enough money to save the club.

I know what you mean a fixed name would be nice but imagine if it was still called the Reynolds Arena... that was its first name.

I will call it the Arena whatever they call it. They might get sky and papers to roll out the sponsors name but 'The Arena' is fine for me.

How about The Nelly Blanc Arena?

If we have a team and a club they can call the arena what they like.... well apart from 'The Blackbberry and Cack Admin Arena' but anything else is fine as long as they are still playing good..... or in fact any football there!

Given that we are in a worldwide recession, who in their right minds would sponsor our ground?

Hawkeye · Post by **Hawkeye** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:49 am

Scott, how about the Darlo Uncovered Arena?

Makka Pakka · Post by **Makka Pakka** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:05 am

I'm sticking with "The Fridge". Maybe a fridge manufacturer would want to sponsor it, The Whirpool Arena sounds good.
