Yes we should demolish the lep, but it's been 26 years and nobody has. Make some money but more importantly let the name go and get rid of some of the taint of the disaster finally. Chansiri stadium if you like mate. Or sell off the naming rights. You'll have to find thefucker first a change of name will only confuse you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 It started a while ago, some people from Manchester I know were saying that when they hear Hillsborough they only think of the disaster. Then I discussed with Scottish people, some from the north east. All over the last 6 months. I feel like it's all we are known for. In Sheffield I feel like I was in a bubble where our last results and the pigs were what we discussed. It's genuinely been bothering me this year. I'd prefer a new ground, then smashing the lep up and building a new stand, I'll take a name change for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were being serious about the issue you'd open up with something a bit more tactful. We all know what happened and the idea that slapping a different name on the stadium will change that is complete nonsense. I just don't get why so many other stadiums have changed name and not ours. It's bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 So based upon your experience of speaking to someone from Manchester and Scotland you've decided that the ground should be knocked down...but YOU will be ok with a name change for the time being.

As far as I'm aware the ground has always been called Hillsborough. The grounds that have changed name are usually the ones built in the last few decades. Only exception I can think to that is when St James was called @Sports Direct for a period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Sunderland and Leeds and Dubai and the emirates and India, and Wales. Look, a name change is instant. I've given my opinion and I've explained why.

Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The names already been changed once so, if DC decides we have to re-name, why not revert back (Owlerton , Sham, to just to help you). Relevant, historical and geographically - correct. And for next year's shirt change, as the man hates stripes, what about first kit, ie blue and white hoops?

matthefish2002 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Cant see point in changing name of the stadium (Unless for money). Everyone would still call it Hillsborough. If the disaster happened recently I could see point of re branding it but its over 27 years now. Agree with knocking down Leppings Lane end though.

Cosmo Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Rename the stadium and get paid. Pass them dolla bills to us, the customers with cheaper tickets. I've heard worse ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
