Sponsors are already on the kit and the club was looking at naming the stadium but couldn't find a sponsor. In regards to the club name, Pete has said that a majority of the fans would have to agree to it and I would go along with that. The final point of being a product placement I have no problem with if it benefits the club.

Milton Keynes' own Stewart Grand Prix went on to do exceptionally well under Red Bull ownership, winning both F1 titles within 5 years of them taking control, whereas under Ford ownership (Jaguar branded) they had underperformed:
1997-1999 Stewart Grand Prix: 1 race win + 3 podiums.
2000-2004 Jaguar Racing F1 Team: 2 podiums.
2005-2017 Red Bull Racing: 55 race wins to date + 4 Constructors Championships + 4 Drivers Championships.

In 2018, Red Bull Racing will be competing as Aston Martin Red Bull Racing.
Evidently the coolest automotive brand in the world, doesn't think that having their brand alongside the Red Bull brand is a bad thing...

I don’t think F1 has as emotional connections to names and identity as football does. Which isn’t a jab. Both entirely different sorts.

You disagree with only some of the bollocks? ;)

Pretty much same way I get a few hours ago before I made a stupid decision and commented.

A lifelong F1 fan and/or longstanding employees of the F1 teams & workers in their factories may say that you're wrong.
Not a jab, but F1 has similarly strong emotional connections to names & identities for its longer term fans & workers as football has, imho, especially with those who work within the industry.
Many lifelong F1 fans are also lifelong football fans too, and vice versa. Not different sorts at all, imho.

You may scoff but why haven't we given out the naming rights to the ground and/or stands? I don't know how much we could get but it is an avenue we could go down. Case Security stadium or the Robinson Garden Services away stand.

We must be one of the few who don't have our stands sponsored at least

:lol:

Anyway, wasn't this thread supposed to be a discussion about whether we are in a relegation battle or not, prior to it being dragged wildly off topic by some rude interlopers from 2 other now relatively abandoned threads far more suited to the current line of discussion? :D
