GovanAllan 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 And can somebody tell me why putting a sponsors name before Ibrox Stadium is some how selling your history. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 And can somebody tell me why putting a sponsors name before Ibrox Stadium is some how selling your history. I can see BOTH sides to that comment. Just because it has Ibrox IN the name, doesnt mean it isnt selling the history (of the stadium) because some only ever want it to be IBROX - with no prefixes or suffixes. As I say, I can see both sides. I dont mind the stadium being re-named but it would depend on the amount for me. For a million quid or less ? Are we really that desperate given the IPO proceeds ? There has to be a proper balance between financial merit and common sense. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a proper balance between financial merit and common sense. I still don't see it as selling the history, more like adding to it. The history of Ibrox doesn't disappear, do we forget about the first Ibrox in our history just because they moved it a wee bit and started again, of course not. The very fact that Green has said it will be short term contracts making the one constant in the name for the next so many years being Ibrox Stadium whoever the sponsor is. The old lady needs a lot of money spent on her after years of neglect by Sir Minty, any money the old girl can raise by herself will be much appreciated. Of course if the UB really want to stop it, put their money where their banner is and raise the cash themselves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 They were also pretty irritating with all the toilet roll they were throwing on the pitch. It kept interrupting the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to do that as a lad myself, so can't really say much. I was always the fool who kept forgetting to hold onto one end and ended up just throwing a full bog roll about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an impressive amount of money but it hardly sets us up for life. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular income streams should have you self-sustaining i.e. ticket income, corporate hospitality etc But a million or less for the renaming of Ibrox seems like a pointless exercise to me. Either that or it seems like desperation and money-grabbing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
