Pity the Everton supporter, invariably having to live in the shadow of his illustrious neighbour. And when it looks like things might be on the up with a brand new stadium ready for next season, alas the club announces that it’s going to be named after a firm of blood-sucking, ambulance chasing spivs. Needless to say, their fans are not best pleased.
Not that I can gloat, having suffered the indignity of St James’ Park being renamed the Sports Direct Arena by our fat cunt of a former owner. And it would be remiss of me not to mention lowly Witton Albion, not for its ground’s current name of Wincham Park, but for it’s previous life as the Bargain Booze Stadium. I shit you not.
So without further ado, I’d like to nominate the following as the three worst named English football grounds:
Third place goes to York City for the LNER Community Stadium. Kick-off is always delayed at York due to leaves on the pitch or the wrong type of snow.
Second place is Bolton Wanderers for the Toughsheet Community Stadium. If the fans aren’t happy with the team’s performance, the management’s attitude is well sorry, toughsheet.
But top of the pile has to be Cheltenham Town, who grace the turf at the EV Charger Points Stadium. Seriously. Let’s hope no match ever goes into Extra Time because the floodlights run out of charge after 90 minutes.
Anyway, back to Everton. I suppose the ‘Hill Dickinson Stadium’ is easier to say than the ‘Had an accident at work? You may be due compensation Arena’.
Do cunters know of anything as bad or worse than my choices?

Hello again Geordie,
I’ve always been puzzled why your lower nearest neighbour’s called their stadium after Benfica’s Stadium of Light.
5
I think you`ll find that it`s called locally as “The Stadium Of Shite” by those plucky Geordie types, Sammy.
6
More appropriate name, Sam.
3
Good morning both.
You’re quite right Sammy, a bizarre choice of name which elicited the inevitable mockery on Tyneside, as Sam says.
But as the Mackems have just got promoted perhaps the joke is wearing a bit thin now.

This is there official town song..

Sums the place up nicely..

Middlefart Stadium, Denmark.
Wankdorf Stadium, Switzerland.
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Colorado.
5
The Wankdorf Stadium.
Inhabited by FC Young Boys no less.
5
I must plan a visit.
I go to the Liberty Stadium to watch Swansea. A local spiv had it re-named the Swansea.com Stadium but as far as I am concerned it will always be the Liberty. Why are people allowed to fuck about with these things?
4
Apparently if you send a letter to, Young boys FC, wankdorf stadium, it goes to the Celtic ground
7
Not a stadium name, but a club name from me.
The superbly named Peruvian club Deportivo Wanka, known by the nickname ‘Los Wankas’.
‘Come on, you wankas!’
Morning all.
9
I imagine this is an American trait.
I did hear the Emirates are considering changing their name in honor of our illustrious prime minister.
To the Rodney can’t sit in his usual seat as the far right might attack him so needs a executive box stadium.
6
Newport County have already named their stadium Rodney Parade after Starmer, Baz.
5
Maybe they could name a stand after him if it’s got two tiers.
15
Good one Ron and congratulations, that comment wins today’s Paul McCartney Two Thumbs Up Award:

Lord in heaven above, when will that cunt die?
If him and Ringo (who the fuck is called Ringo?) both croaked in some mad escapade involving them falling down a deep, dark, shit encrusted well, that would be great.
My only concern is how much vomit I’m going to produce when the obligatory grief jacking starts upon Macca’s demise.
2
Old Trafford, because it is old. Being a fan of United from the 40s, I lived in poverty next door to Bradford Colliery, which everyone knows by now was nocked down and a athletic stadium was built. Long story short, my neighbouring team ended up there. Cunts !
4
I call it the Shitihad Stadium.
7
I had a soft spot for Maine Road.. Mainly because of FA Cup semi finals we played there.
There are scores of grounds with shit names now. King Power Stadium? What the fuck? The Vitality Stadium? What a bunch of crap. And fuck knows what Bolton’s ground is called now.
Ah, the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Fuck me….

Thanks Doctor Syntax,
I’m thanking you before reading it. I remember as a young child in my mothers arm watching a fire at the pit head.

The now demolished Kit Kat Crescent, York. Named after rhe chocolate bar, & a sponsorship deal with Nestle.
4
I think the Coventry Building Society Arena is worthy of a mention too.
Soulless and uninspiring.
Rachel from complaints is probably a Coventry fan.
4
I liked Highfield Road.
Tough side back in the day. Big Oggy, Killer Kilcline, Big Cyril Regis (RIP), Trevor Peake.
That David Speedie was a little shit though. Horrible little twat.
I recall Bryan Robson taking the little bastard out in style. As Speedie lay on the turf in a screaming heap, Coventry Captain, Peake, went for Robbo. I clearly heard Robbo snarl like the Devil, ‘Fucking grab me, you cunt and you’ll be next.’ Needless to say, Peake backed off. God bless Captain Marvel.

Everton stadium sponsored by a law firm?
Mind you, given the populace, solicitors must be as numerous and essential as supermarkets or petrol stations.
3
I remember when I was visiting my cousin in her shop. And a customer was buying a Liverpool FC version of Monopoly.
I looked at it, and I said ‘Oh. look a that. ‘Go To Jail’ .’
The bloke looked disgruntled, to say the least.🤣
7
Could have been worse Norman, could have said ‘Go to JobCentre’,
2
I’ve seen that Liverpool FC version, Norm.
The Chance cards are things like, “The owners are out when you’re on the rob. Collect jewelry and bank cards.”
The Community Chest cards are things like, “You lied on your disability benefits claim form. Collect an extra £500.”
There’s no Income Tax square of course – how could there be?
There’s no Free Parking square either. Instead, it’s a picture of a car up on bricks with an extra £2000 to buy drugs.
Caaaaaaaalm down.
5
Who’s the Everton Chairman these days?
Tommy McCardle?😉
5
Or is it Jimmy Corkhill?
2
Maybe rename the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ to ‘What a fucking Nightmare’
4
Or….
The Glazerdome.
The Ineos Dustbowl.
The Sir Matt Busby Turning In His Grave Memorial Stadium.
7
It’s not just the stadium name as spelt. Sometimes the stadium name can be a rather awkward anagram.
For example, Anfield is an anagram of ‘Heysel murdering scum’.
Glad I could help.
4
What happened there yesterday was bad (Oh, did the BBC tell us that he was white?). But, will they milk it for years to come? is the BBC muslim?
3
Oh I know, Norm. I saw a headline online somewhere which said something to the effect ‘Greatest Tragedy since Hillsborough’. Why-why-fuckity-why do they have to bring Hillsborough up AGAIN?
I might sound cold hearted, but if more of those cunts were at work, then fewer of them would have been available to be mowed down by a car. Just sayin’.
3
Aye the Scousers will be dining out on this for years.
At least the season is over so there was no mawkish minute silence, until the first home game of next season anyway even though no one died.
3
They’re still cleaning up the spunk, snot, phlegm and syrup from Heil Klopp’s farewell at Anfield.
2
I’m expecting a Band Aid type supergroup. Featuring Macca. Kerry Katona and AI versions of Gerry Pacemaker, Cilla Black, Pete Burns, Ken Dodd and Damon Grant.🤣

No different in rugby, northampton saints have played at six fields for over 100 years, now the fucking Cinch stadium at six fields.

Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, is reckoned to be a tough negotiator and excellent businessman.
If that’s the case, why hasn’t that cunt sold the naming rights for the new stadium, which nobody asked for.
I have a suggestion:
‘Go-karting-NFL-Boxing-Live Music-Sometimes Football’ Stadium.
I think Spurs spend most of their income on cutting the grass. It must be about 10 feet tall given the shit that’s put on it every other week.

Some rich cunt in Perth tried to rename the Subiaco Oval to Crazy Johns Stadium.
Funnily enough it was denied by the local council.
