If you go to a West Ham game in the near future you could be visiting the "Tesco stadium", as it looks like the Olympic park ground might be getting a re-brand.

    The Causeway Stadium.

    Seconded.

    At least the Causeway sounded like it could have been a real stadium name, named after some geographic feature of the Chilterns or something. The Tesco stadium is just diabolical.

    Wham Stadium is pretty bad, but I'm pretty sure no one calls it that anyway.

    The Kit Kat Stadium is both awful and brilliant at the same time. I'd love someone to play at The Wagon Wheel Stadium.

    New West Ham kit?

    Frighteningly close to Brightons kit from around the 80s which had blue and white striped shorts and was known by Seagulls fans as the "Tesco Kit"

    @niebieski the new season ticket has also been revealed,

    Tesco Stadium could have worked well for the Essex apes.

    All sponsored stadium names some awful to me, but the ticketreturn.com Field, home of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, is my personal favourite.

    The Beechdean Bowl!

    Frome play at the 'Blindmans Brewery Stadium' for some reason I like that one

    For comically bad sponsored ground names, 'Keine Sorgen Arena' (lit. No Worries Arena), home of SV Ried of Austria is at least mildly amusing. Generally sponsored ground names are a depressing blight on the game.

    First one I can remember going this way was Bradford. I think it was at the Desouza Garrick game where some tubby DJ strode around the pitch yelling a warm welcome to:

    'The Pulse FM Stadium at Valley Parade'

    I think that's called testing the water...

  • eric_planteric_plant

    Presume for Garrick read "hat trick"?

    Remember how good Stuart Castledine was in that game?

    Late entry here:

    As part of the deal, Victoria Park will be re-named as The Northern Gas and Power Stadium.
