You'll recall that the bloody ball used to have a McDonald's "M" on it. The AFL--talk about whores. Even in the REALLY big-money sports, the English Premier League or NFL or NBA in the States, the ball remains sacrosanct. You cannot advertise on it. Not with us though. As far as those cheap sluts, Dimwit and Collins are concerned, everything is for sale.markp wrote:

They may as well name it 'Collingwood Fagpies'
'Shitney Swans'
'Adelaide Hoes'
'Freo shockers'
'NM Kangapoos'
Rename the Gabba......the Ga(y)bba(r)
Man that S*** is Whack!

Everyone will still call it "The Dome" or TD for short.
Etihad is too strange to call a stadium. Doesn't even mean anything to Australians.

I think you find none of those are owed by private enterprise. They need to make money. If it wasnt built by private enterprise it would not have been built because the government would never hadput in the money for it.SENsaintsational wrote:So why do clubs seemingly get a better deal from the MCG and also there is no naming rights sponsor there?plugger66 wrote:I'd rather they didnt have sponsers names and screw the clubs that use it even more.
There is a limit.
Look at the US. Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Iconic. Was known as 3com Park and now is known as Monster Park. Herman Munster is number one patron.
I'm enjoying your sarcasm, but money cannot be the only reason for this sort of stuff happening.
MCG doesn't need to sell out. Why does Ian Collins?
Edit:
Other stadiums that don't need to sell out.
1. SCG
2. Gabba
3. WACA
4. Subiaco (toyed with it though)
Glad we don't play AFL at any of those. Football Park & Docklands, hang your heads in shame.

I don't think they are about to go broke... the concept of constantly renaming a landmark, and such a central part of the game itself is deeply flawed, bordering on totally f**ked.plugger66 wrote:I think you find none of those are owed by private enterprise.

Give it a name and stick with it.
So if you were a shareholder and lost the naming rights sponser you would just say bad luck who cares about the money. Its nothing to do with going broke its about making money for the shareholders unless of course you want clubs to make even less money. The thing that amazes me is why would anyone care.markp wrote:I don't think they are about to go broke... the concept of constantly renaming a landmark, and such a central part of the game itself is deeply flawed, bordering on totally f**ked.plugger66 wrote:I think you find none of those are owed by private enterprise.

I disapprove of this simply because I think it's a bridge too far, like toll roads and subliminal advertising.... everyone has their line, I guess yours is a little further along the way than mine.
Maybe they should cover the whole playing surface in advertising?
We get what we settle for... I'll stick to calling it Docklands Stadium, you can call it whatever they tell you to.

I don't mind any Arab nation sponsoring a ground/naming rights/sponsoring St Kilda even, provided they dont' inflict any of their cultural "values" upon us.
If you think I'm being racist, well that's fine, but very few of those nations have any decent respect of Women's rights.
That's my major issue.

Yes (although Qantas is easier to say at least!)WayneJudson42 wrote:Would we have the same response if it was called the Qantas Dome?
What about if Etihad signed a 3 year / $5 mill sponsorship with us?
Jeld Wen ain't too flash IMHO.
Fine.... we'd still be called St Kilda...
Jeld Wen Stadium would be farken awful too.....
THe fact that no-one's heard of Etihad - do you think perhaps that is why they have chosen to sponsor the Dome? Like part of the reason why Jeld Wen became involved with us?battye wrote:Etihad is too strange to call a stadium. Doesn't even mean anything to Australians.
I was in Abu Dhabi a few months ago - Etihad is the airline carrier for that Emirate. It's competitor is Emirates airline - and you know who they sponsor? Hehe....
Abu Dhabi one of the cities in the United Arab Emirates..... and it is a lovely place - chilled, beautiful palace, sophisticated, cultural and phenomenally rich.... compared to Dubai's brashness. A bit like Melbourne as compared to Sydney in it's understated cool.
P.s. I don't work for Etihad.....! but I was impressed with AD......

But yes, I certainly imagine a big part of it is to get the name out there as they are mostly unknown in Australia.
