    The stands and terraces are already sponsored by companies. As you say several other clubs have sponsored stadiums, some have changed names several times which makes it sound farcical though. I think most older stadiums that are sponsored are still referred to by their original name, ie Alloa's Indodrill Stadium is still widely referred to as Recreation Park or The Recs by its fans. Livingston's ground has probably had more names than any other in Scotland but is still widely referred to as Almondvale. If a company shows interest in sponsoring Palmerston for a decent sum I wouldn't turn them away but it will always be Palmerston to me. Maybe it's more acceptable to change names when someone is sponsoring a brand new stadium rather than an existing one.

    Agree with all of that although given my less than rudimentary understanding of club finances i’ve no idea as to what a decent sum might be.
