Just spotted this on the official website re the sponsors night..

"Other sponsorship opportunities from ground boards to re – naming the ground are also available"

New ground fair enough, but history is history.. Presumably finances are getting tight.. Who'd be a football fan?

Hope someone has checked with the council as the ground is not the club's to rename

Or will it just be the Bart Endean Theatre Of Dreams every other Saturday?

"Broadway Wines 8 cans of Stella for £6.50 Arena" I heard. Seriously if "renaming" the ground enables us to pay for a better class of player I am all for it.

This is the sponsorship deal above all others that gets fans wound up however if it brings in some much needed money than that's just the way things have to be these days.


It could be far worse mind, have a look at the lengths Hyde have had to go to this summer.

If it brings in extra revenue then why not? but please dont drop the words "Croft Park" from the title and please dont use the words arena.
Why not: ..................Proud Sponsors of Croft Park the home of Blyth Spartans AFC.

Easy to do, on the address line you'd simply have:

Blyth Spartans AFC
Sponsors Name Stadium
Croft Park
Plessey Road
Blyth
Northumberland
NE24 3JE

I'd be interested to see how much we could raise through such naming rights.

Indeed, the name United dropped and the red home colours ditched at the same time Man Citeh move in..............

Whole stadium given a blue paint job and even the Hyde badge has been replaced by the Man Citeh one. Oh and Hyde's website now resembles Man Citeh's.

There's sponsorship and then there's taking over.
