It will bring publicity and social media hits, but I agree with Willzay, whilst I understand why they've done it, it's a sorry state of affairs when one of the top RL clubs has to go down this sort of attention seeking. Very much what other clubs fans used to level at Trinity in that it's tinpot.

Where as at this time last week we were all reliving Joe Westerman's chocolate starfish episode in the national media.

I'll take Luke Littler anyday.

I absolutely don't get that. It's not tin pot.
It's national media friendly. Sky sports friendly and also makes all those people who watch darts notice rugby league.

Most stadiums have sponsorship naming rights. They get money for that.
Warrington have simply swapped one day of that to get publicity which would cost them millions to actually buy.

You see Arsenal changing the name of the Emirates to the Kier Starmer stadium anytime soon?

Again I get why they are doing it, but lamenting the fact RL clubs have to do it to get noticed in the first place.

It's for one game , and it's great publicity .Just look at this thread alone , and then multiply it by 100s .

Great idea and well done Warrington !!

They already have a worldwide brand.
But I can see RU, cricket, and anyone else with a stadium doing it
