Sturt to sell home ground naming rights

[LBT]

Sturt Peter Park?

[Squawk]

I've got a feeling that under some of the naming rights approvals by Councils, the Council takes a cut of the $$$ as well. Hamra Homes springs to mind. I see Unley Council or Sturt make no mention of this.

Also, the price quoted seems low - is it accurate?

[Squawk]

If someone offered North the money would you not be willing to take it ?

eg the SACA buy naming rights to Prospect and call it "Adelaide Oval no 3"

I see an old Sponser Returning......

Old players may be involved....

Point of order
- Allan Hickinbotham Oval at Noarlunga is not a sponsorship arrangement.
- wish it was.

So why is it called Hickinbotham Oval? Maybe it should be renamed Taxpayers Park considering a previous State Govt poured a lot of money into the " multi sport facility " .

Maybe it could be named after a dentist clinic, because like Unley Oval noone likes going there.

??? Probably the ground that was in the best condition last year !! Unlike Woodville it has atmosphere and history

hahahah....that is a classic!!

i was tentative at first but i like stuarts choice of words in the article. It will always be unley oval to us but with a bit more much needed $$$, i'll take it :)

just hope its a nice sounding name, preferably with a link to the local community.

I've never liked calling a ground by its sponsor's name for two reasons.
1/ The sponsor pays the club for naming rights not me.
When I get a big fat cheque from a sponsor, only then, will I
start calling it by its new name.
2/ Tradition.

Now that my team is doing it, I will call the ground by its new sponsor .

all you have to do is look to the home page of this very site & see it has been done properly with the 'next round' section

Is it appropriate to sell home ground naming rights?

IMO yep. If there's money to be had...

How often do you refer to a Oval as the sponsored name ? Coopers stadium, Challenge Recruitment Oval, Hamra Homes Oval, Hickinbotham Oval, Broadspectrum. They are still Norwood, the Bay, 'lizbeth, South & Richmond to me....

If someone offered North the money would you not be willing to take it ?

I can't see anyone allowing Adelaide Oval naming rights to be sold though...

Just right click the image, "save as" onto your hard drive.
Then you can import it as your avatar.

I'm glad someone noticed my nice Avatar
