Daggers Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Not being able to say "I'm entering Walkers" or "I found Walkers' entrance gaping wide" will diminish my matchday experience
Guest ttfn Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Need a proper before I believe this for real. Not that it isn't inevitable/won't happen, or anything. I just like things to be cited somewhere before I run with them. I don't have any history of being in the know but I know this is 100% true. Can we all just refer to it as Filbert Way now please?
wellyfox Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 With fair play next year we might get 2M a year from Walkers. If our owners want to call it King Power and sponsor it at 5 or 10 Million a year i dont care what they call it. If as Bert says there is 50mill to spend and they want to pump cash in so we can compette then great. We don't know the details and untill we do we should not put the name down IMO. For now i say :scarf:
AjcW Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 I for one will be looking to see how long it takes between the stadium name change, and the first airport contract in the UK king power win... Because after all that why they are over here, we are their marketing vehicle(no two ways about it) at a time when many airports are being sold off and bought meaning all contracts are up for grabs...
Itsthejoeker Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 If they keep pumping money into our club, be it sponsorship, or investments. I couldn't care less.
AjcW Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 ^^ fair enough but why would they stick around after they have brought their product to the UK... I just hope we don't regret completely alienating Pepsico!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 I'll back the idea if they can incorporate a King Power duty free shopping zone within the stadium somewhere?
Kingylcfc Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 if its the home of Leicester City Football Club, i don't care what its called tbh
Libertine Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 if its the home of Leicester City Football Club, i don't care what its called tbh The We-Love-Forest Bowl?
Wherethefoxhat? Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Yeah but everyone will call it the KP stadium, which sounds crap and is also the name of another snack food company. ...and an England Cricketer !!
Alexikokopops Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 The Royster's T-Bone Steak Director's Stand Waaaaahahahaha YES THAT'S THE ONE It's only really their West Stand that's any different in my opinion. The other three sides are all but indistinguishable, even down to the capacity. Oh and for the last bit, touche. There's about fifty foot between the back row of seats and the roof of the Ricoh as oppose to the regular 8 foot down Whatever-it's-called Stadium Crap name. Changing stadium name is never going to be popular but at least Walkers had local ties and synonymous with the club. Filbert Way it is then. I doubt they would have cared that much if they hadn't got such a steal. I'm not losing any sleep over it.
The People's Hero Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Alex, stop being sensible. Wegua. OLE! Octostacker.

The People's Hero Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 OCTOSTACKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Flair, where are you??????? I've checked his FB out and I reckon he's doing one of the following: a) getting p'd up and doing the john/jon (did he 'h' it?) b) wearing a silly hat c) cycling He seems to do quite a lot of all three. What a man.

1964FOX Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 From the crisp bowl to the nut bowl - oooh But seriously I don't really mind it's a new stadium so no real history behind it.
The People's Hero Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 I also do a lot of a (the first half), b and c! Maybe I am Flair...? I only partake in half of a) and all of b). c) sounds too much like hard work. The second half of a) can be hard work, especially when they struggle. By they I mean erm.. she. OLE! Oct...

Nationwider Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 The KPS... catchy. KPS also meaning the very same Potassium Persulphate as used in (and I quote Wikipedia) 'hair dye substances as whitening agent with hydrogen peroxide'. Hair dye, KPS, Conrad Logan's glittering barnet? Huh, huh? Trying to tell us something, Top?
The People's Hero Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 Where are the Canadians when you need them? WEGUA Probably wondering around London, not knowing as much about it as they really ought to having had a tour of the city by a real tour guide.
jonw88 Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 The KP Stadium sounds too much like The KC Stadium, and we've shared enough with Hull in the last year already. I'd much rather refer to it as Filbert Way.

The People's Hero Posted 4 July 2011 Posted 4 July 2011 There is something about Flair holiday story - I can't recall it but it was epic. Absolutely epic.
