demon_dog Posted 30 April 2010 Posted 30 April 2010 As a follow on from the topic regarding shirt sponsorship for next season. Does anyone know for how long the deal is with Walkers to sponsor the stadium? I did hear that Walkers paid virtually nothing to have their name over the stadium since we were desperate for the money at the time. (administration I think). I would imagine that if we manage to gain promotion this season then the club will aim to maximise it's income as much as possible. Mods please merge if too similar a topic.

davieG Posted 30 April 2010 Posted 30 April 2010 The original deal was for 10 years but this was renewed/upgraded a couple of years ago I don't know the exact dates. Edit this from Wiki sounds about right - In 2002, former Leicester City shirt sponsors Walkers signed a ten-year deal for naming rights. The agreement was superseded halfway through the period, in May 2007, when they again paid a "seven-figure sum" to extend their sponsorship of the stadium until 2017
Ozwin Posted 30 April 2010 Posted 30 April 2010 It'll always be 'The Walkers Stadium' to everyone now.
lcfc"weasel" Posted 30 April 2010 Posted 30 April 2010 It'll always be 'The Walkers Stadium' to everyone now. Always been 'Filbert Way' for me, sounds so much better if you ask me.

lavrentis Posted 1 May 2010 Posted 1 May 2010 Ditto. I dont understand why they leave that area an infestation of overgrown weeds. They could do somet with it.

Guest Mee-9 Posted 1 May 2010 Posted 1 May 2010 I'll always know it as The Walkers, even if it changed names.
