News Simonds Stadium to be renamed GMHBA Stadium

[Copernicus]

I'm just saddened the new naming rights ends a great run of illiteration.

I'm trying to decide if 'illiteration' was a deliberate choice...

I operate on many levels. As does my autocorrect.

 

[BlightysCats]

Geelong
Male
Hairy
Boobies
Association.

That's what I read in to it anyway.

IIRC someone on this board last year saw a sponsorship sign or something that suggested this was going to happen...

May have already been answered but I believe it was a artists impression of the new stadium with gmhba. We all feared the worst and it's happened

 

[Go Hoops]

Hells bells! Just as some of the broadcasters had finally got their heads around it not being Skilled too.

 

[vinum coupe]

This will backfire.

They'll put lings face at every gate and kids will be too scared to go in.

Good for the club in terms of $$ for sponsorship etc and whilst im not a fan of the naming rights deals ( its KP for me) I get that it's some of the easiest $$ the club can make.

Especially not he back of Cookie suggesting that he wanters to clear the debt without taking loans to do so, this clearly is a reflection of that.

Every bit helps.

And if GMHBA gets the GFC closer to the black…

I'll get over it.

Think they might rename it to Scott stadium after he leads the club to the next 4 flags?

 

[BlightysCats]

Well I think he's the President of the Geelong Male Hairy Boobies Association so naming the stadium after him even if he doesn't win anymore flags could make sense.

Someone like Sexyland should jump on board with next stadium naming rights.

Sexyland Stadium has a nice ring to it

Eh, I still call it Skilled anyway.

Never fully embraced Simmonds.

 

[Seeds]

A name that rolls off the tongue.

 

[The rabbi]

Eh, I still call it Skilled anyway.

Never fully embraced Simmonds.

I still call it K'Park and have done so since I was in the womb.

 

[Scottland2007]

Should we open the bidding for "commonly referred to as..."? You know it is going to end up being called "goomba" or the like.

I'm going to go with "mini G"

 

[vinum coupe]

I just call it 'down at geelong' etc when discussing where a game is played.
Naming rights don't bother me.

Unless someone tries to touch the name of the MCG.
Then I'd be truly pissed off.

Could GMHBA be changing their name sometime between now and the start of the 2017 season ???

You have really been thinking hard about this topic, haven't you Daniel?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Despite this it's still going to be called 'Skilled' Stadium by 90% of people.

I still call it Kardinia Park.

Doubt it.
Dunno why you'd think that.

As a local Signie in the area though I hope that I get the contract
