    If there's money to be had I dare say we'll go after it.

    Sounds like they've decided to stay at The Vic. My wife said she liked the sound of the vibrating badge!!

    Exactly what I thought. Every penny will count going forwards, especially with betting sponsors likely to be banned, but it will be a sad day

    We need to go down the route of a buzzing hornet badge

    Really not a fan of stadiums being named after sponsors.

    If we change the stadium name, it should be as a tribute to an important figure or event in the club's history (e.g. the Graham Taylor stadium).

    Given the choice, I'd rather pay more for a ticket than have the name of a sponsor draped over the club.

    If it helps pay for Ashley Fletcher’s wages, then it’s a must.

    I mean, it's a direct quote from Magda Pozzo in tuttosport, so that seems unlikely.

    To be honest, I’m just surprised it’s taken this long for the subject to have materialised.

    If any truth in it it would be a shame, but it’s not as though fans will refer to it as anything else and will get a few more shekels through the door.

    Or The Tena Lights Stadium....could be spun as an attempt to increase our appeal amongst women?

    No, they’re already in negotiations with the Muff.

    Failing that some suggestions...

    It's currently named after one of the sh*ttest roads in Watford. What could be worse?

    For example Muff fans call their ground Dean Court rather than the Vitality Stadium, I think it pretty much stems from stadia that were there before stadium sponsorship was a thing, whereas new stadia built with a sponsor fans are more likely to attach the current sponsor name to it, i.e. Walkers Stadium now King Power Stadium. Therefore whoever the sponsor will be, our fans will always refer to it as Vicarage Road.

    If it was one street along, we'd have a very confusing "Liverpool Road Stadium"

    Happy for it to be called the Donna Kebab stadium if it means extending Deeneys contract

    Great news, it's about time football became a soulless commercial operation.

    Didn't I read somewhere recently that American Airlines were going to become involved in some sort of sponsorship of WFC, or did I dream that up?

    If I am not dreaming that up, maybe they could be the new Ground Sponsors "American Airlines Arena" perhaps?

    Does it really matter? Always going to be the Vic to me. Let’s just hope they let Magda get on with it and allow Gino and co to not get distracted by off field ***** again.

    They'll have to get past Phil Mitchell and Danny Dyer first. Good luck.

    Please no. Our name at the moment isn't great, but selling the name has always been what I have feared most as a Watford fan off the pitch. It may be an illogical fear, but I can't stand the idea.

    If it’s a deal where they can show a direct correlation with the new investment coming in from the extra sponsorship to a new level of quality player coming into the first team, I’m fine with it.

    If it’s to line the pockets of some middle manager, then no.

    If it’s a case of keeping the lights on it will be the least of our worries anyway.

    All for it if it it pays off DeeKnee and Grays contracts.

    Money (a lot of money) for nothing.

    Fans and even a lot of the media will still call it Vicarage Road while we land millions in the bank to stabilise our financial future.

    No brainer and amazed it hasn’t happened earlier.

    Yep, fine by me TBH. I'll still call it the Vic & ignore the phony baloney name anyway.

    And as some bloke once said, a rose by any other name...
