Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter edgy
- Start date
Look forward to going to the Coventry City Council Arena 
If they call it ‘the nest’ I’m going on some sort of rampage.
And they always get a bad reception!
This is the problem with these new stadia where they're only ever known by a sponsorship name. It's been the Ricoh for 16 years, will be weird when people are still calling it that when there is a different sponsor plastered all over it.
Hate these arenas named after a sponsor as no local ,historical connection doesn't seem right.
The new name will stick soon enough - look at the Walkers Stadium/King Power Stadium. What we need is a name for the stadium aside from the naming rights, much like Man City fans refer to their stadium as Eastlands.
Back to basics - The Gasworks Ground!
It's going to cost them a small fortune to change every brown road sign in the county!

Whatever it is i hope its a joint deal involving Wasps and us.
Was the new sponsorship deal dependant on both clubs playing at the stadium?
Us being in the Championship surely trumps Wasps for media exposure.

If after years of being unable to find a sponsor they've suddenly got one a few weeks after its announced we're back there next season we certainly should be getting a cut.
Exactly this – surely we get a cut. Prem rugby doesn't get near enough the exposure of Chumpionship football. Because of us the name will echo across TV, radio and print!!
Have Wasps officially announced they'll be doing the work on the entrance yet? Could be something shit like that?
Multimillion-pound plan for Ricoh Arena revamp
The stadium is home to Wasps rugby team and will see football club Coventry City return soon.

Not sure on that. It's 100% news on the name or naming rights though. Vic Minnet on CWR just said "news on the Ricoh Arena coming soon...... will it still be called that? We shall see......"
Wasps have only recently announced their renewed deal with Vodaphone as shirt sponsor. Not sure why they would only sponsor shirts for a couple of years if they were going to announce a seperate Stadium deal.
Vodaphone most likely imho, just an odd way of doing it.

With us extending our Hummel deal, Wasps signing up with them and then doing work on the stadium it points to them for me.
I’ve always through the best unofficial name would have been Phoenix Way but they changed the name to JHW
