Hendo Wouldn't like to it be Something Arena.

Don't like the word Arena.

What about The Something Madjeski Stadium?



I prefer The Something Madejski Stadium, but i'm Sir John prefers your idea.

Can't we find a poncy, Berkshire, middle class alternative to arena, ala drawing room rather than living room?

Perhaps we could be the Waitrose Sports Parlour, or the John Lewis Amphitheater?

Yeah, I'd go with that. Not happy about rebranding / naming Stadia in general. Wasn't particularly happy when it was called the Madejski Stadium originally, I prefer places not to be named after someone who built them. But it was the choice and it's stuck for about 15 years so I'd be pissed off to see it change every three years or whatever.

Not bothered by the name. Elm Park mattered, but the soulless bowl doesn't, not to me anyway. Call it what you like, for me it's just the football ground. One thing I will be pleased with though is seeing 'Madejski Stadium' removed from the East Stand seats. Stick a few rows of white in there for hoops please!

That questionnaire makes me laugh.....what cretin at the EP did it? :lol: Surely they don't need the last question :lol:

Name?

Where are you from?

What do you think the Madejski Stadium should be called?

Do you want the name to change?

After submitting my suggestion of "The Biscuit Tin" and stating that I don't want the name to change, but money talks and any new name won't stick with the fans/locals, so why not change it...... I got the following message:

Your submission has been received. If it is used anywhere on Mirror Online, we will be in touch to let you know where you can see it.

What's all this about? - Have the EP sold out to the Mirror or ripped off one of their online surveys and forgotten to change some of the script?

Most important question is whether the colour of my seat will change!

I have a blue seat but the seat next to mine is a white one. Its part of the curve thing Y21 area.

I am guessing the majority of the seats will stay blue, really don't want it to end up looking like CaROFLdiff's stadium. Majority blue seats with a weird red seated 2nd tier on one stand.

Silver Fox It's a shame as I'd like all the work SJM did to be remembered for many years to come and also it's probably going to sound stupid


This really. Its not like football has a great record in cool and interesting stadia name is the last few decades - though Rotherham's still entertains me.

Indeed, got to get the important stuff out of the way first.

Surprised someone like Royal Blue has already said;

I'm surprised the ego maniac hasn't already called it this.

I'd like to see the seats as blue and white hoops, but it will cost a lot of money to do this so either leave it as it is or if they really want to unbrand it, change the Madejski seats from white to blue.

I can't see any benefit to a sponsor having their name/logo in the seating design if the seats are going to be filled when the cameras are on them.
