That's mean and uncalled for, after all he owns the stadium. Unlike you and others on here I think Dave Whelan has great regard for our club. Obviously he is going to put his own club first when there is a conflict of interest but I do think he will do his utmost to accommodate us. One thing is for certain remarks such as you have made are not going to help keep up good relations and whether you like it or not we need to keep him on side. |

If this is true, it's a pity. I quite liked Langtree Park ... thought it had a whiff of nostalgia about it.

Club record sponsorship deal for the club, five year deal & an opportunity to re-name bringing in yet more money in 2022. Stadium is a cash cow, events & company conferences etc are a real money spinner.
Meanwhile your renting & paying out.
Hilarious!!

Still not as funny as the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Enjoy your totally wicked stadium, we'll enjoy our shiny trophy.
And I'd rather rent a house than own a shed. |

Pinocchio, Aesop or Jackanory?
If the Stadium is making money, where's the rest going?

On big money signings like Tommy Lee and Marty Smith of course!
In all seriousness though as I posted when Saints signed players like Tommy Lee and co, I think that's a worry for the game as a whole. If a big club like Saints can only muster rejects then the game as a whole can't be in a great shape. The more scary thing is I actually think the players they've signed will be good enough to improve them and take them close to honours.
This deal for the stadium just adds to those fears for the overall game.Yes the figures may be ok by modern standards but have some dignity!

I don't think many people are happy at Saints, with either the name of the ground or the calibre of two players, you have mentioned, I certainly am not, but the figure i have heard for the naming rights of the stadium were far to good to turn down, Matty Smith will be ok, as he was for you, a player who probably is only truly respected by his peers. |

NK here is the conundrum.
How much is this record sponsorship actually worth. If it's so good why not release the figure?
Did Langtree actually pay anything for the naming of the stadium or was it part of contract for building the stadium?
Saints new kit sponsors for their home kit is actually a company who has as one of their major shareholders a major shareholder and director at Saints, Mike Coleman. In effect Saints are sponsoring themselves as they couldn't get a major shirt sponsor when Typhoo pulled out. |
