Tres interesant. One wonders what name it could be... The suspense is killing me...

When is the away kit revealed? Are we being ultra cynical and not revealing it until after Christmas so people actually bother to buy the home kit?

Away kit to be revealed in January according to the nice lady in the Saints shop.
Quelle surprise !

This was also reported in this month's Forty20 magazine (they did an article on our kit and the process clubs go through when planning their kits).

Well it's looking very likely we have our name for the new stadium. The signs going up today read 'Langtree Park'

The stadium or the whole development? I can't see the stadium name going up in print before the announcement.

The area is supposed to be called Langtree Park but we could still have that as a stadium name. We will just have to wait and see what comes out at the press conference tomorrow. The name would have to go up before the naming so that it can be unveiled.



On the actual main Entrance it says 'LANGTREE PARK' The road leading up to the stadium from PX is called McManus Drive. The road signs are up for all to see.

The whole site is called Stadium Industry Park.

It happened at Wigan with Central Park a couple of weeks ago. They put the signs up and then covered them before the "official announcement" However some people happened too see them before they were covered.

What are Saints like with ruining announcements? At least it isn't a politician we can abuse this time.

'McManus Drive'. How pretentious is that?

Re: New Stadium Name : Mon Nov 14, 2011 1:31 pm  

why just not put some sort of cover over the sign before it is revealed?

amateurish as ever it seems.

Depends who is putting the sign up. If it's the council/highways agency/whoever then they aren't really concerned with publicity stunts.

If it's the club putting the signs up, then it's shambolic.
