Norwich is the other club that stands out for me in that way...represents the whole of Norfolk, not just the city.
That's because Norwich are one big happy family !!! |

Good Lord! Although, if they plan on turning it into "Fortress American Express Community Stadium" that acronyms down nicely into faeces (or near enough). |

It's a shame, although it's inevitable, that they ended up getting one of those god awful modern franchise sounding stadium names. I thought their owner might have kept it as Falmer, or stroked his ego and called it the Bloom stadium or some such rubbish.

Fair play to them is what I say. If it brings in those sort of figures you really have to take it. |

£4m a year for sponsoring a league 1 clubs stadium seems fucking far fetched to me. Thats more than STFC's annual turnover!
Could be true theough if Amex wanted to help fund the club being successful rather than just get their name on a big sign. £4m a year to Amex is fuck all.

Are you sure? Obviously i know nothing about it, but that sounds far too high to me. Certainly higher than most stadiums that i remember in the higher leagues anyway. Bolton was £2m for 10 years for instance, although it was years ago. |

Arsenal got £100m from Emirates Airline for 15 years stadium sponsorship and 8 years shirt sponsorship, which works out at £4.4m a year (based on 23 years sponsorship across the two).
Find it hard to believe Brighton could get £4m a year for their stadium.

Naming rights for the Ricoh arena were bought indefinitely for £10m.

Could be true. Makes sense for Amex. There will be at least 20k going there every game and when they get into the premiership in three years time it'll be about 60k per game.
No really.

Someone posted on the NSC forum that he'd been told it was £20m over 5 seasons. Then everyone started quoting it and the next thing you know it's a fact and not just the random most likely bollocks posting that it was in the first place.
