I like it. Langtree Park is a name that could stick, depending of course on the financial details to be revealed tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised though if this was a short term fallback because we've not managed to get a meaningful deal out of a big company, possibly contra-ing money we owe them for the stadium. Very few throwing sponsorship around when we're about to go into recession again.

Typhoo were very happy to throw a two year sponsorship deal around, Hattons a five year deal and that brewery a five year deal so my guess is you're talking out of your anus ma boy!

Meanwhile, back on Planet Positive, I think it would be great for Langtree to sponsor our stadium. What a way to expand their profile. And it would be great for Saints if Langtree were the stadium sponsors as Langtree is a local company and engaging local companies (rightly IMO) appears to be the policy of McManus.

I love McManus Drive. That's just fab.

No, clearly not. It'll be interesting to find out how long term the Langtree deal is. The Typhoo and Hattons deals will not be mega amounts. The brewery deal will probably be profitable for Robinsons as they will be taking a huge slice of the takings at the bars in the ground.

Speculation, speculation, speculation.

You haven't a bleedin clue kiddo.

Hull don't own their own ground. (and share with football)
Leeds don't own their own ground.
Warrington don't own 'all' their own ground.
Huddersfield used to own 20% of their ground, but don't own any of it now. (and share with football).

You really could have chosen better examples.

Hence the Central Park project at Wigan.
Do a bit of research.

Hull, Huddersfield etc do not own their own grounds

Did you get my pm?

A good, local, moral company with very pleasant owners and employees. Well sorted Saints!

Totally agree. The name is very easy on the tongue, and has the big advantage that it doesnt even sound like a sponsored stadium, which will mean the media will use it without any thought about giving away free advertising.
The name is also A-political which isnt really the case with getting sponsored by certain companies.

Langtree are onto a winner with this as even if after a number of years they fail to renew the sponsorship, people will probably still refer to it as Langtree park.

Using park in the name also conjures up legendary sporting venues such as Lang Park, Croke Park, Villa Park, St.James Park, Fenway Park, and dare i say it Central Park. The last one in particular will be a subtle and cruel reminder to all pies of what they used to have. Especially when they walk past Tesco's to get to our stadium.

Skysports are tweeting about the media event at the stadium, and its supposed to be unveiled to them about 11:30

OOOoooh. I wonder what they will call it....
