Great shout. Instead of some youngsters or fans having some fun on the pitch at half time, i'd scrap that and the Birthday dedications etc.. i'd replace it with somebody from the local LGBT community reading passages from the Equality Act 2010. Educate some of these fools.
I hadn't realised this!
In 1910, Cardiff City Football Club had secured the lease of a plot of land in order to build a new stadium. During development, one of the guarantors for the club pulled out and Crichton-Stuart instead offered his support of the project and acted as a guarantor for the £90 annual rent that the club had agreed to. In recognition of his role in the building of the ground, the club dropped the original planned name of the ground, Sloper Park, and instead named it Ninian Park.

How much is a Championship club stadium naming sponsorship worth - anyone know?
Not much. Our estimated worth for naming rights in the EPL last year was only £200,000.

Do we get any money from our shirt sponsor? Whoever that actually is.
One end called Whitts End easily
I think it's good that we haven't taken a sponsor. The name is the club name so I don't understand why fans would want to get rid of it. It is entirely possible Vinny has been approached and rejected offers because he thinks it should be named after the club too.
In these days it is almost unique not to be sponsored. Long may it continue!
City McCityFace?
Always the safe bet
Then why are people so concerned that ours isn't?
I got the impression they thought we were missing out on some form of revenue that other clubs were benefiting from.
I don't get it.
