    If a gardening company took over sponsorship at old Trafford, Man Ure has a certain ring to it....

    Wouldn't suprise me at all, would need to be sanctioned by the various league authorities I think.

    Its already happened to a degree with red bull and their various teams.
    One of them, Leipzig I think, made their name something (can't remember exactly what) which just happened to have the initials R B as they weren't allowed to call themselves Red Bull under the leagues rules if I remember correctly.

    Just checked , it was Leipzig formed out of SSV Makranstadt and changed their name to
    RasenBallsport Leipzig

    Thanks for that Magyar, so I've just looked it up and and a team in Austria are called FC Red Bull Salzburg , but it says that when playing in UEFA competitions, it is known as FC Salzburg and wears a modified Crest due to sponsorship restrictions. UTM

    What would you rename it to if you were given the chance? Let’s put this out there to everyone who reads this post.
    According to my research the area around our ground was called New York before the city of New York was given that name.

    So first dibs.

    Wouldn't it be great if the SWFC ground was sponsored by the clothing chain Boo Hoo ?
