RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I miss Burnden Park with its easy access and walk into town. It must be bad enough for Trotters fans to commute to a stadium out in the burbs marginally closer to arch rivals Wigan but this is not a great name change. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 The first name always sticks doesn't it. It's the Reebok Stadium! On a related note, surprised Spurs still haven't sold the naming rights for the new stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Remember several trips to Burden park, liked the ground over the years. But was a hot spot for trouble I found. And went with a mate to Chorley v Chelsea FA cup. And that was bedlam at times at that one too. I think Chorley had home tie and used Burden park for bigger attendance and money I think. What does SL not seek same sort of thing with Ashton gate. Money for new players maybe. not sure I like idea of it being called something else mind Edited February 20, 2023 by Rocking Red Cyril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally it wouldn't matter to me as I would continue to call it Ashton Gate regardless, in the same way as I will continue to go the the Colston Hall (as the venue in which I saw my first rock concert) rather than the Bristol Beacon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably something to do with Tottenham Hotspur themselves essentially being the sponsor. It's a huge advert for their club whenever they host an NFL game or other event Edited February 20, 2023 by Roe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centre spot of the old stadium is now marked by a plaque in the concourse of the new stadium and much of the old stadium is incorporated as hard core underneath. Incidentally there was a mysterious fire one night in a sheet metal business at one end of the stadium (just happened to be the last one holding out from the developers)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't moved but built on and around the location which is still at White Hart Lane. Whereas I am happy to record the Emirates for example as a new ground I haven't been to and City haven't played at I don't see the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the same way. As far as I'm concerned City have played on the site and I've seen us win there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like saying you don’t have a new car because you still park it on the same drive as the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
