Bluedell 5,356 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Instead of Red bull Salzburg we could be Irn Bru Rangers. Good idea. We'd then need to have the irn blu colours on our strip.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I believe whoever were owners we would be having the arguement, and I would still be against it. Same with me. Anyway it's not nessecarily because of owners i.e. Green we're having this discussion, even if this matter is put out there for the fans to decide most of bluenoses would cheer and have Ibrox renamed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 There must be some reason companies do it, they're falling over themselves in the wealthy leagues. Brand awareness, I guess, but I'm lost in the world of business. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Not sure what you mean. I hope it's not that I am against it because of Green !! I believe whoever were owners we would be having the arguement, and I would still be against it. No mate its not, this started off about Ibrox getting sponsored, suddenly the name of the club is getting changed different colour of top, different badge. It's actually quite funny. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 No it's not GA. I'm not even saying this is happening, I just stated that renaming Ibrox like all the other (admittedly in our case exaggerated) actions belong into the same practice of selling parts of our clubs identity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me, like I've said before it makes no difference to what we call it, the only real change is what commentators say on the TV 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,356 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I guess it's where you draw the line. The change in the colour of the strip and the badge that happened to Cardiff or a change in the name is unacceptable. I'm not sure where I draw the line on it. If we were to change the stadium name to the Tennants Ibrox Stadium, would I have a major issue, if it was financially worthwhile? Probably not. If we just changed it to Tennants Stadium? I would be uncomfortable with it, but depends on the financial situation of the club. I would have done it a year ago if it stopped administation. It now seems less appealing. If it happened to, say, prevent the sale of the stadium then I wouldn't have a problem with that, as the sale of the stadium would be unacceptable. We have already sold off part of our strip when we allowed sponsorship. That was one line that we crossed without a huge problem. I have sympathy with the view that the name of the stadium shouldn't be changed but can't say I totally object to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with that BD, I would also prefer it not to happen but if it means we are in a financially better situation then I think it would be stupid not to investigate any investment source. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Taking into the fact (that seems to be lost by some) we are a 3rd division club playing in the bowels of Scottish football with a transfer embargo attracting some of the biggest crowds in the game. Where is it written we need the money? Get real chaps. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Speaking of this, Newcastle have agreed a new sponsorship deal with Wonga.com and they have decided to put the name back to St James. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
