I see the difference lying in the future. Club like Saints, Hull, Leeds, Warrington, Hudds, can use their facilities to genrate considerable amounts of income. Wigoon have very little option available to expand their revenues, other than increasing attendances or shop sales. The off field revenues of a well run club could dwarf whatever the club can generate through the turnstiles at a couple of dozen home game throughout the season.

Hull don't own their own ground. (and share with football)
Leeds don't own their own ground.
Warrington don't own 'all' their own ground.
Huddersfield used to own 20% of their ground, but don't own any of it now. (and share with football).

You really could have chosen better examples.

Hence the Central Park project at Wigan.
Do a bit of research.

Hull, Huddersfield etc do not own their own grounds

Langtree are a large company i really dont know why some people are being sponsor snobs, clearly the cub have set an amount for all these sponsorship packages and any company wanting to buy in will need to pay tht amount.

Langtree are as good a sponsor as any imo.

A good, local, moral company with very pleasant owners and employees. Well sorted Saints!

Totally agree. The name is very easy on the tongue, and has the big advantage that it doesnt even sound like a sponsored stadium, which will mean the media will use it without any thought about giving away free advertising.
The name is also A-political which isnt really the case with getting sponsored by certain companies.

Langtree are onto a winner with this as even if after a number of years they fail to renew the sponsorship, people will probably still refer to it as Langtree park.

Using park in the name also conjures up legendary sporting venues such as Lang Park, Croke Park, Villa Park, St.James Park, Fenway Park, and dare i say it Central Park. The last one in particular will be a subtle and cruel reminder to all pies of what they used to have. Especially when they walk past Tesco's to get to our stadium.
