The Re-naming of The Emirates Stadium

[skizz_b]

On the wikipedia page it has it down as being "Ashburton Grove" but refered to as Emirates Stadium for sponsorship reasons. Does that mean the official name is still Ashburton Grove?

Also as we are now officially in Holloway how about calling the stadium that much like the old stadium was called "Highbury" because of the district it was in?

It's called Ashburton Grove on CL nights I think, because you can't use sponsored stadium names or some shite. Allianz Arena is "Munich Stadium", Man Shitty's Etihad is named Eastlands on CL nights etc.

Martin Tyler on FIFA 12 tells me that it should be called "New Highbury"

I've heard that on FIFA12 before

FIFA12 also keeps banging on with the famous like "one thing that Arsenal have managed to bring to the new stadium other than success is the quality of the pitch"

The Super Quality Oval - bound to attractive lucrative sponsorship deals from South Korea and Morocco

You know, you could actually just call it "Super Quality Park". Might get even more sponsorship from South Korea and it might convince the man himself to sign a new bumper contract

I don't see why they don't just call it Highbury?

Would the fans not be annoyed at that? Maybe they wouldn't mind like but for me there's only one Highbury, and the Emirates is an incredibly poor substitute for it, I don't think it deserves the name, but that might just be me!

Tbf, most people I speak to still refer to it as Highbury. As Reb pointed out, it was never officially called Highbury so we may as well make this official

Although, I would put money on it that when the contract runs out with Emirates, it will be another major American brand. With Kroenkes ties to Walmart, I can see it being the Walmart Arena.

Walmart owns ASDA in the UK. "The ASDA stadium" has a certain ring to it.

I still say Highbury in general conversation.

Bedlam, it has after all been taken over and run by a fucking looney bin.

Players are holding interviews with Citrone next week. Throw in Wenger's handbrake and empty petrol tanks statements we can see where this is is going.
So the Citrone Stadium for under-used, cumbersome , high maintainence, over-priced Cars (Players)
