dave7867 75 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Just been a member for a week now and havent seen this topic brought up so if it has i apologise.If our commercial man Ali Russell had managed to get a company to sponsor say either the stadium or a stand would you approve or dissaprove.(and was a good offer) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 25,044 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 unless it was for serious cash, like 500million to rename ibrox etc, then no thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,288 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I suppose it would depend on the money and on the brand (a good British one would be acceptable).At the end of the day it's what we call the stadium that matters. I mean how long has it been since Fairfield's was officially called that but I've never heard anyone refer to it as anything else Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemc 306 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Agree with Jim would have to be alot of cash involved Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 1,011 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Totally for it, as long as it still incorporated the word Ibrox. Like say The Orange Ibrox stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 110,341 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Technically it would be called something else but it would always be Ibrox to the fans.Did Mcewans lager not sponsor a stand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzalivesforever 2,001 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No, far too much history associated with Ibrox. In 100 years i certainly don't want my great great grandchildren when being educated about the Ibrox disaster asking, "What is Ibrox?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietspam 733 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Can I ask why you feel like that Jim, I'm all for retaining our traditions and history, but I don't see the harm in changing the stadiums name for several millions of pounds.Several million to change from Ibrox?

Spectre 1,663 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Id rename a stand either broomloan or govancopland and bill struth have to much history to be branded wae a sponsorwouldn't even consider renaming ibrox like selling the family silver, what is st james park called again? something ridiculous iirc"Sportsdirect.com @ st.james park" but the fact everyone still calls it st.James park tells it's own story.Ibrox would still be Ibrox even if someone was daft enough to give us money to call it "The Walkers Monster Munch Arena" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeBurn 57 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No money on this earth would make me approve of calling Ibrox some shitty sponsor. It will always be Ibrox Stadium, home to "The Rangers Football Club" - The most successful club ever.I would hate my children to grow up going to the "Doritos Arena". Rangers and Ibrox go hand in hand. The day Ibrox is renamed will be the start of the demise of our great historical football club. It'll be the day we're no longer an institution and an icon in the sporting world and we move to just being another business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
