Mend a hose jungle

Unless Durex or KY Jelly sponsor a stadium in the near future then there is only one winner

It don't roll of the tongue very easy. If it makes the club cash who cares? I dont think about MS3 craven park I just go to the match.

Why did they add Coliseum to their name the other year?!

Fans care about what their stadium is called. See the recent change of St James' Park to the 'Sports Direct Arena' as an example.

In this instance however all you can really do is

- Shoehorning Jungle on the end doesn't help.

Why do they keep adding 'Jungle' to the title of the stadium? Wasn't it called the jungle for another sponsorship deal?

This one will take some beating!

Correct, it was Jungle.com who went bust. It kind of goes with them being tigers so I assume that's why they stuck with it over just 'Wheldon road'

I thought Jungle became Amazon?

A logical assumption but they were bought by Argos apparently

It was technically bought by GUS (Great Universal Stores) in 2000 who also own Argos and then rolled up with Argos in 2002.
But yes they are now trading in the same entity called Argos.

In the end it's cash. Its the one thing our game lacks. They can call LP the durex arena for all I care, so long as they pay huge wads of cash. It's been done before, although Cas might get into the top 20 now. uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/the ... -1034.html I think 16 plays to the child in me. Middelfart Stadium - Middlefart, Denmark 6 appeals on the same level.

Number 20 was definitely the best in that list!

Couldn't care less what the stadium name is.

It's money. Money the game badly needs and money the club needs to run.

That's why we've never been in admin, never failed to pay players' wages and don't owe money to HMRC.

HTH.

Okay, I'll say it...

Money can go walk for all the tradition and heritage ed down the toilet. Why not change the name of the club for a sponsor or incorporate a sponsor into the name of the team? What would be the difference?

Some things were once sacrosanct, then along came nihilism.

Agree. Castleford dragging the sport down the toilet once again for the sake of a few quid because they can't generate funds any other way. Utterly embarrassing but then all so amusing at the same time

Whatever Dave.

Any news on where you will be playing your home games next season?.

Commercial revenue is a vital part of all clubs.

DW Stadium
KC Stadium
Headingley Carnegie Stadium
Galpharm Stadium/John Smith's Stadium
Provident Stadium
Rapid Solicitors Stadium

and so on. All clubs take advantage of their stadium and it's a significant generator of money behind shirt sponsorship.

You just sound bitter.....and your hatred of Cas really is both sad and amusing.

'Price of everything, value of nothing...'

Stadium naming rights are now a part of professional sport, but any business such as Cas need to consider the value impact of any partnerships entered into. Its possible and likely that the income from the deal will outweigh any lost revenue from fans or other sponsors staying away because the name is ridiculous, however I think it is also likely that this deal devalues the quality of the Cas brand. It paints them as desperate for cash, willing to sell out and make themselves sound ridiculous for the sake of a quick buck. In other words it devalues the brand. Short term gain, long term loss. If we advertise the fact we're that desperate for money what impression does that give of our game?

Correct.
You really can't win on this forum at times!

The Haliwell Jones is a BMW dealership, the name sounds good though.

Are you seriously suggesting that, amongst the various considerations made by supporters before committing to a match ticket, that the name of the stadium is going to be a deciding factor in the decision of whether or not to attend a game?

In the words of Muhammad Ali - "you cannot be serious.."

My apparent hatred of Cas is all in your head Fully, you really need to let it go.



Your extremely defensive reply to try and hide your club's shame is noted however.

Couldnt give a to$$ whatever they call it as long as it brings in funds which enables us to spend full cap like next year, always be darn lane anyway to me.
