    Jack Fulton Arena. Has a nice ring to it don't you think? I don't care what it's called, it'll always be Oakwell to me and other fans whatever the media call it. But it's a bloody great idea to make the club some cash.

    No from me. It would likely end up being some questionable organisation like a gambling website or pay day loan, and it also suggests success at any cost

    I'd rather they didn't, but everyone's got a price so it would depend on how much money they got for it. I can't imagine the money that we could command would make me think it was worthwhile. I'd want millions, we'd get about 50 grand.

    We all want the club to have extra income streams. But it seems that some of us dont.

    Just look at the ponty end. It's always the ponty end. Nobody bairns about it being sponsored. So why the problem with the ground...

    I understand tradition but if we can't pick simple extra income streams (accumulated streams all add up) then we can't complain if that strapping centre half wont sign because the extra 1k a week or whatever is needed to secure his signature isn't their.....

    Massively against it, proud of our ground and its tradition. I always think the stadium names sound horrible or stupid

    I'd rather not but

    depending on the amount of money and the type of company we were being linked with if it helped the club go forward why not? Its all a load of ******** apart from the bits of media everybody refers to the ground/ stand by its traditional name anyway!

    I've realised my earlier post Isn't clear at all. I meant I'm against the idea

    Yes let's knock quick quid back when we can be sponsored by a credit card company, cash convertors or a betting firm fuelling one of the Uks fastest growing addiction.

    The way I see it, if we can make a few bob then why not ? But to somebody my age it will always be Oakwell. Naming rights are easier if it's a move to a new ground, I'd be more concerned if we went down that route.
    All my Bradford City mates still call it Valley Parade and deep down half of them don't even know it's "correct" name these days (Coral ? Pulse ? Grattan Stadium ?)

    Depends how much moolah someone is offering. I don't really want it to happen but if a company wants to chuck silly money at it (at least 500k a year) we'd be daft not to consider it.
