The ONLY St James Park

Newcastle United to sell stadium naming rights according to Sky!

What to...
...the Alistair Darling Memorial Stadium???

Can we buy it? We could call it, "Go to St James Park, Exeter for football Stadium". All part of our new found need for product placement.

Brackley Town also play at a St James Park

Bit of a mouthful there Hants....but seeing as ASHTON Gate is already taken I guess its a possible.

Good point. There's also one in Gloucester full of whinos and needles and swings with no seats.^o)

Pedant here. We have always been the only team to play at St James Park. The barcodes play at St James's Park. And can someone please tell Fullsy about the correct pronunciation!

Maybe if they ever hit the "big time" they can afford to buy the additional neccessary apostrophe?...(TM Alan Crockford )

This would be great if they actually sell the rights. Would be nice that as soon as anyone hears St James' Park they instantly think of us not them.

errr denz...double (or even treble) pedant alert.

Firstly, I believe it is currently "officially" referred to as St James' Park...Crocks (& South West Trains) surely can't BOTH be wrong??

However, as part of my ongoing archving of ECFC reports (stretching so far from 1908 to 1927 s far) the legendary scribe of the time, the venerable "Chiel" (or the type setters of the time), predominantly referred to "the home of Brazilian football" at St James's
