Didn't Fans on here laugh at Bury and Oldham for the changing the names of their grounds. |
We can all call it what we want Dezzy, the main thing is on't radio and telly it'll be called the Crown Oil Arena, and they're stumping up money for it. Cracking deal imo. |  | |  |

I couldn't care less what the ground is called. This is massive for us. This a revenue stream that we could only have believed of this time last season. You can bet your bottom dollar the directors have gotten us the best possible deal available to us, because that's what they do. This is fantastic news and combined with the Carlsberg news yesterday it is amazing. What a time to be a Rochdale fan. |  | | |

It is indeed great news. It's maybe a missed opportunity with it being possibly in the pipeline for the last few months that any potential deal could have been taken into account when deciding on ticket prices and thus passing on the benefits to supporters. A bit of a gamble, but one worth taking? |  |

Just listened to Frances' interview and it was a joy to behold. Have we ever had so much positivity and fantastic results in respect to our commercial department. I just hope all this can tie in with doing something to get more people through the gates. I know it's the age old problem but let's hope that we have something in the pipeline and we can finally increase attendances. | | | |

It's never too late.
If the gate tomorrow is well below the 3000 mark, that has got to spur the club into action. There's never any shortage of ideas on this messageboard about trying to attract fans, new and old, but the professionals shouldn't be short of fresh marketing ideas either, especially those who've recently joined the Dale and not encumbered by the awful attitudes towards fans that we've witnessed in the last few years. |  |

I agree - a very good interview. Picking on a point on another thread about the tiredness of the executive areas, she did say that they have started a refurbishment of the hospitality suites and the executive lounge , all 12 executive boxes have been refurbished and they will be moving on to the main lounge and main entrance. Perhaps mainstanders could have a look and report back? I presume some of this at least must have been visible during the fans' forum. |  | | |

Am I the only one who doesn't like the name change, Ok we have got money to do it> But I am a traditionalist and will still call it Spotland, like I do still with Sandy , willbuts and Pearl st ends |
I like the name, the first think that springs to mind is 'Dallas' or Beverley Hill Billy's..' Texas Gold'. The new name makes us sound as though we are rolling in it and have struck oil!!
Congratulations to the Chairman and Directors,and I like saying that because they've had a bit of a rough time over the ST pricing plans for the coming season. Like i said previously, whether we agree with those decisions or not there's no doubt they are done with the best intentions.
Thank you to Crown Oil, I have never met any of the people involved but there's no doubt they've backed the Club over the last few years and shown great commitment by signing up for 5 years. Very happy with this news, the longevity of the Club is more important than any individuals or little spats that occur from time to time. [Post edited 5 Aug 2016 16:43]

Great news on the sponsorship although it should be the Crown Oil Stadium as, by definition, an arena is a playing surface surrounded by continuous seating. I am sure some bucket will be along soon enough to remind us that we have no corners in our ground and a cow shed with no seats on one end.
I sincerely hope that there is a change of focus from the club to draw fans back to the stadium (arena?) as a result of the good commercial news recently - in fact, I would imagine that the sponsor would demand it as there is no point sponsoring an empty stadium. I just fear that the security of this sponsorship and the financial investment could lead to an even more laissez faire attitude to fair pricing and increasing attendance and the focus will be mainly on corporate attendees.

"We recently launched our environmental services division to help UK businesses keep up to date and adhere to environmental laws and regulations whilst maintaining their...." profits?
I jest. It's great news that we are making money from this.
Oh, an arena does suggest a certain oval-shape these days, but we can work on that later. Let's get the money first. |  |

Are we changing the program name to TVOTCOA? |
TVOS could now be replaced by EFTOC "Echos from the Oil Can"
Any improvements on that? | | | |
