jimmeh Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Say the owners sign a contract for King Power to be the stadium name for the next 20 years at a relatively low cost. And then they **** off next year. Then surely we will be stuck with the name? I know they had to pay walkers to get them to agree to an early release of contract. Can see it happening!
Leicester Lass Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 The Walkers deal expired which is when the name changed to King Power. The initial deal was only 3 years for King Power too. Also, surely there's more important things to worry about?!

jonthefox Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 As long as the fans call it Filbert way we'll be fine.
Father Ted Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 As long as the fans call it Filbert way we'll be fine. The Raw Dykes would be better.
lavrentis Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 As long as the fans call it Filbert way we'll be fine. Which the vast majority do not.

FoxesAreBlue Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 If we had an official Stadium name to begin with (St James' Park etc) I'd probably be a bit hurt that it was sold off. But as it has had 2 corporate sponsorships anyway I couldn't care less what its called. Wasn't Filbert Street actually called The City Stadium or something like that?

ballisimo Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Just aslong as they don't do one and I'm left forever with my forest mates calling It the king prawn stadium!
davieG Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 For them to 'fook' off they'd need to sell the club lock, stock and barrel. Anyone buying it from them would be stupid to not include the naming rights. Walkers was a separate stand alone contract whereas I'd imagine KP is wrapped up in the whole KP ownership.
Strokes Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Just aslong as they don't do one and I'm left forever with my forest mates calling It the king prawn stadium!It's better than the shìtty ground though.
ealingfox Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 We do need to make more an effort in calling it Filbert Way imo.
Swalker Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 The owners paid their money to buy the club and the rights to name the ground. They have been nothing but good for the football club, improving the club as a whole massively. People should get off their backs and some of the changes they've made makes it seem they might be here for the long run and not for the hit and run many people are assuming
Spudulike Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 We do need to make more an effort in calling it Filbert Way imo. ... but it's located on Freemen's Wharf which is what the stadium was called whilst under construction. Why call it anything else ??
Dan Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Never ever been a fan of sponsored stadiums to be honest.

Also, surely there's more important things to worry about?! Walkers were brought out of the contract, wasn't a lot of money though to be honest..
Vlad the Fox Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 The Raw Dykes would be better. Sounds like a group of sore lesbians.
Leicester Lass Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Walkers were brought out of the contract, wasn't a lot of money though to be honest.. Yeah, you're right. Forgot that the deal was extended from the initial 10 years.
Ashley Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 Yeah, you're right. Forgot that the deal was extended from the initial 10 years. First thing Milan done when taking over us, I think Walkers only sponsored us around £3m for the 10 Years....
Harry - LCFC Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 First thing Milan done when taking over us, I think Walkers only sponsored us around £3m for the 10 Years.... The great club tome Fossils & Foxes says it was £1.5m and the deal was extended to 2017 in May 2007, not sure what the payment rate was for the extension.

Harry - LCFC Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 The £3m was the extension I believe. Ah I see, seems like we've given ourselves a bit of a raw deal tbh. I'd have thought we could get more than that but then I don't know much about sponsorship deals.
Jace Posted 16 June 2013 Posted 16 June 2013 If we ever change the name again it has to be to Golden Wonder Stadium
