I'm getting the impression that most people on this forum, like myself are not over enamoured with the 'B2Net stadium' name for the ground. For myself have tried to live with it for nearly two years, but it still feels a bit too corporate for my liking
so after wondering about what we could call the place.. thought about various names: Stonegravels sounds like an aggregate factory, Whttington Moor sounds like an encore at a Panto, and anything involving Sheffield Road would be over my dead body...... so what about The Glassworks?
<<start Hovis music>>
grew up in Newbold in the late 70's early 80's and the Glassworks was a huge industrial plant that dominated that area, my Dad even worked there for a few years, so would it be fitting to recognise the memory of an industry now dead and in danger being forgotten in our town? If anyone's interested I can tell the story of the Chinese turning up at Glass Tubes (as the factory used be known) and the demise of the glass industry in the UK
Not wishing to bite the hand that feeds us could the powers that be settle on The B2Net Glassworks??
given that B2net are in to IT, it could have resonance with glass fibre telecoms etc. ??
and even if they don't like it we can call the ground what we like, its a free country ??
anyway have now broken the question mark on my keyboard
so what do we think^&*
failing that we could call it the tesco's car park
