embankment Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Just now, embankment said: Nope . Reebok sponsored Ryan Giggs boots for more money than they handed over to us for a ten year contract. Plus the pitch replacement money is coming from The Pink concert . ( the pink pound is another way of explaining it ). Quote

Reebok would have been fuck all in the grand scheme of things. 1997 naming rights How much did Middlesbrough get for the bt cellnet? Quote

By still referring it to the reebok were all just picking the best sponsor name of a list with one good name on it Been discussed before, what would your suggestion be Farny Quote

TM Trotter Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Sure, there was initial surprise, and perhaps a fleeting thought that this was embarrassing, or detrimental to the club in some way. Then I remembered I'm not a 12 year old kid hung up on silly names. I think it's a quite endearing choice to be honest. A bit daft, but full of character, anything but dull, and with its heart and morals in the right place. I think it's about the most BWFC sponsorship we could have bagged. Quote
bolty58 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Visionaries. I got pilloried on here for using tough sheet during the Brexit melee. Joking aside, love the new name. Hopefully we will be saying 'tough sheet' to most visiting teams and fans. Quote

Spider Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Toughsheet was trending on Twitter yesterday. Job done. Club gets a cash injection, Jeff Stelling makes a thin joke every week to keep the sponsors happy and we all call it the Reebok like we have since it was built. Progress in my eyes. Quote

Traf Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 And it really doesn't matter what the pricks down the road think/say, when their ground is named after a fat senile racist. Quote

Ani Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Pretty sure everyone at the club and at Tough Sheet knew the reaction the name would get. The guys at TS named the company to get such reactions. The deal is now all over t'internet so they will be delighted. The clubs is apparently making over £2m over next 3 seasons. it is very good business all round I honestly do not a give a shit what they call the Reebok but the back story of why a local business wants to put money into the club is great. If you are bothered what fans of other clubs think stay off Twitter. Quote
tomski Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Seems a bit late in the day to give the stadium a name after 25 years. I don’t think I have the attachment to the reebok name for the stadium others seem to do. It was always just a sponsor. Sounded a bit better aye. Emotionally invested I the name. Na Quote

Whenever we go to Huddersfield, for example, does anyone refer to the stadium's name (which has changed countless times)? Surely they just say they're going to Huddersfield away. They probably got upset by our shirt sponsor too. Any fully grown adult getting upset by this is officially a man-baby. Quote

Come to think of it I'd always just say Huddersfield away. And if pushed called it the McAlpine 😀 I bet some or their lot still call it that too. Quote
