Princely Return at Carlton

[Pamam]

In today's herald sun

Carlton's historis training base will be returned to its traditional name of PRINCES PARK on April 1 after the club's contract with MC Labour expires.

The ground was renamed Optus oval from 1993 to 2005, when labour hire company MC Labour took over the naming rights

While the club may enventually sell off naming rights when the stadium's redevelopment is complete, it is unlikey before the end of the 2009 season.

"It goes back to Princes Park but there is a possibility that with the redevelopment we might sell the naming rights again," club chief executive Greg Swann said

Carlton initially received about $700,000 from Optus for the naming rights, but it is believed MC Labour paid vastly less than that in 2006.

Meh, it's always been Princes Park to me. I dont think I've ever once called it MC Labour Park.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Let's call it Telstra Dome !

 

[BlueBelle]

I think it is very likely that they do search for a sponsor after the works are completed.

IF we are not going to sell naming rights to the ground I would like to see it renamed after DP. What he has done for Carlton should never be forgotton and needs to be commemorated in some way.

Spooner Park? Gnome Oval? Dancing Sisters Stadium?

 

[smithos]

It'll always be MC Labour in my heart

 

[linchpin]

It can never be changed from Princes Park....

The grounds are owned by the Melbourne City Council and Carlton pay a lease on the ground.

The whole area is known as Princes Park. Call the oval what you which but PP it always will be!

 

[blue gunslinger]

We will always call it Princes Park but money talks, hopefully a company who's name sounds half decent! MC Labour park sounds like a convict's penalty getting shipped out here

 

[Bluebear]

Maybe with the money left over from the Kreuzer sponsorship:

"BigFooty Carlton Board Park"

 

[blues4flag]

Who honestly calls it "MC Labour Park"? Sounds absolutely horrid.

That's like the millenium match, remember it was called something like the Jetport Parking cup or something? I know they need the money but they really need to look at the name's they're giving these things!

Thank goodness it's back to PP, as it should be!

Spot on mate!!
The parkland our holy stadium is built on is called Princes Park!!It is the whole area bounded by that running track.
So even when it (the footy ground )was christened Optus oval,we were all still going to Princes Park....the boneyard of so many pretender teams!!!!

Sounds like a great idea BB.

I never called it Optus Oval or MC Labour Park. It will always be Princes Park to me.

Doesn't matter what it's called, I'll always relate back to it as old Princes Park.

I just hope we don't bring upon a real low class sponsor. Who would want to spend a day at Kleenex Park?

Saints fans spent a few decades crying out there.

Sounds appropriate given some of the excitement generated by Judd's moves at training.
