Just wanna be serious for a moment.

We're all footballing fans, and we all share a common bond in football, no matter who we support. I'm sure all of us, rivals or not, can't stand the rapid commercialisation of football. Nothing is sacred any more. Whilst we all respect the passion and history of every club, it seems like the businessmen at the top do not.

As we all know, St James' Park is now being formally renamed to the Sports Direct Arena. However, as our rivals, I'm wondering what you guys are going to do. Will you fall in line and start calling it the Sports Direct Arena, or will you respect the heritage of our club (even if you don't like it) and keep calling it St James' Park, thus preserving the name and resisting commercialisation like this?

The third option, of course, is that you'll call it the Sports Direct Arena just to try and wind us mags up, which is fair enough.

Views appreciated.

Ashley can call it what he likes, but to my way of thinking, the name as it always was, is ST JAMES PARK. would be gutted if it happened to us.

I thought I might hear tripe like this unfortunately.

Many Sunderland fans will mention the name because we're rivals, and in case you haven't noticed, we have derby games against each other twice a year. Supporters of both clubs also have signatures which are riddled with things about the rival club (including you) so there's clearly more of a 'connection' than most, if you could call it that.
