SO, Saints’ home is now called the BrewDog Stadium.
An improvement on the previous Totally Wicked name which always sounded cringeworthy.
What’s next, the BetFred Arena?
It's a great deal commercially for the club and I am sure and the plans to develop the Red V Cafe bar sound promising.
In hindsight, as a fan it seems a shame did not christen the ground with a ‘nickname’ that all fans could refer to, as happens in football.
A lot of Evertonians seem to call their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home Bramley Moore, and likewise City fans refer to the Etihad as ‘Eastlands’.
And our old Knowsley Road was still Knowsley Road, even after it officially became the 'GPW Recruitment Stadium'.
Perhaps Saints fans have missed a trick. I guess Langtree Park was such a classy name at the start that everyone latched on to it.
I’m sure there are some who perhaps still refer to it as ‘Langtree’ though you don’t hear it much these days.
Perhaps we need to revive it or come up with something – or be forever at the mercy of The ‘Highest Bidder’ Stadium.
