Brock Manson 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Are they really changing the name of the stadium to it's actual title? Blyme. Whilst I don't approve of Wonga as a company, if they're investing money in the club and that money is subsequently reinvested accordingly then I have no trouble with them sponsoring the club. We've had Northern Rock and Newcastle Brown Ale in recent times so can't really complain about advertising morally suspect brands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 As per Dekka's statement I'd still like to know what this commercial partnership with Sports Direct is. As I haven't seen anything mentioned about what financial benefits us as a club are receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 people that can't see past this ludicrous PR stunt. That's the whole point man! It IS a PR stunt - that's all it obviously was ever intended to be when he renamed it last year. The majority of the fanbase will rejoice at them bringing the real name back. Football fans are fickle - Ashley knows this and has played it a treat in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well I'm glad to find so many moral relatavists in here. Tell you what why don't you all go out this w/e and kill some people...Hitler killed 6 million ya kna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19841 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thank fuck they've done the right thing and the stadium has its proper name again. I wonder if that means Wonga signage on the roof though in place of SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12768 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wonga are a set of horrible bastards and we only ever called it SJP anyway but I'm hoping we at least get those fucking signs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26497 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Personally I'm not sure it's a PR stunt at all. More to do with Wonga wanting the removal of the name SDA from the stadium as it dilutes their position as main club sponsor which they're paying a lot of money for. Either way I'm happy.

Toonpack 6893 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 people that can't see past this ludicrous PR stunt. The shirt plus stadium deal was banded about at £10m a year. They've probably said we'll pay £8m a year and no more, and come to an agreement that the stadium reverts to SJP. A PR triumph for Ashley, and a PR triumph for Wonga, straight away seen as the good guys, and won't face any outpouring of negativity towards renaming a 120 year old stadium. There are some gullible fuckers out there. Toonpack just fuck off pal. I'd love to meet you to see if you're this much of a cunt in person. Ashley could open concentration camps and you'd find some positive words for the fat cunt. Not at all, please feel free to repudiate what I've stated, with facts, and I'll listen. Fail to see what it is I've said that's inflamatory in any way tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may well have done but commercially people were starting to call it the Sports Direct Arena, its a good move by them to rename it back imo, dont quite see how anyone can complain on that front.

Park Life 70 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 By everything that is holy I Parkenstein beseech any god or gods real or imagined to strike down Wonga.

PaddockLad 14639 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Its looking like we've all been played, draw the sting of the fans abuse with the whole "arena" thing, then slide in an even more odious sponsor, who changes the name back again. Thing is about Ashley, theres always a sting in the tail. Can Wonga tag their name on to the stadium after a couple of seasons?...the journos had better have asked them that. He's usually incapable of making 2 good decisions in a row, he needs to spend some fuckin money in January or all this good PR will be wasted.

Craig 6308 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I welcome the academy investment and fan participation in shirt design BTW. Mind you all the latter will be is 6 designs being posted on NUFC.co.uk and a vote system being put in place - wide open for abuse from Mackems....

ChezGiven 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Stevie / Parky, can you post up links to these stories of people's lives being destroyed by pay day lenders? You both make strong cases but without backing it up with any actual anecdotes or examples of where this is actually happpening. I think they are morally dubious at best and i am sure there are example of people getting trapped i jut wonder hos prevalent it is. I think they are exploiting a niche in the market and its become and massive business for them. I will go off and get the evidence to show how gambling and drinking destroys lives and then we can compare notes later. To settle it, print off all the data, hoy it doon the stairs and whoever's dossier makes the biggest racket, wins. Sound fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two cousins who work for CCCS the debt counselling service and some of the stories I have heard from them about such companies is horrific. Have a look on Money Saving Expert.
