Why the f**k our stadium wasn't given a proper name? Our club has turned into a new prawn soulless non-atmospheric shit and this is the first thing that needs to be sorted out IMO :ayatollah:

Yes Ridsdale said it was to incorporate a sponsors name if they chose. Thing is Sam got so much of the money anyway so I guess the club never felt it was worthwhile.

Giving it a more distinctive name like New Ninian, or St David's stadium would diminish its value to sponsors as people would still call it that over a sponsor name.

Lets be honest though you are clutching at straws if you think the name of the stadium will help the atmosphere.
It's been proved many a game that people singing/chanting improves the stadium, people need to stop making excuses and sing.

Wales v Scotland last time out showed that it's not the stadiums fault. Great atmosphere that night.
