i've just been looking at Rotherham UTD's new ground http://www.footballgroundguide.com/rotherham_united/it has a Morrisons sand and a Eric Twigg Foods & Pukka Pies West Stand. I think we should develop such names for the CC. Suggestions?! in all fairness it looks quite compact and close to the pitch. bet the acoustics will be good too With its location, perhaps The Hazrat Shah Jalal Mosque Town End Stand? |

Seeing as they sponsor it already, is it not likely to remain the "Fastplant Town end"?

Probably, think it was the C&D Town End before that

Depends how long the sponsorship deal is for, plus a better looking town end would attract better more lucrative sponsorship deals. |

Ha, I thought you were going to say " A better looking Town End would attract more attractive viewers "  |

You fail to mention the biggest naming cock up, they've called it the New York stadium. I'm aware that the locals may have called the are New York, but its still a stupid name. |

In all seriousness (and i'm not trying to be negative!) we've had a load of town centre hotels pop up recently - what are their occupancy rates? Obviously these chains do their research, but i can't imagine demand is *that* high?

if the conference facilities are at a very good standard then that alone would bring alot of business to any hotel.

Totally agree, some of the town centre hotels have very limited parking if any at all. Another route they could go down would be to incorporate a Premier Inn - the one by us is always busy and car parking would not be an issue. A Premier Inn with an adjacent restaurant and bar - run by STFC - would be a money spinner I think. |

I believe the Double tree Hilton at Stadium:MK rents the space for the hotel, so occupancy levels etc aren't the concern of the stadium/club as they still get their money at the end of each month.
But obviously you have to have the demand for the hotel to want the space in the first place.
