NathStPaul Seen hardly any objection to this on social media, think most can see it is sensible. As has been mentioned, it will always be known as the Madejski Stadium to us.

SCIAG Naming a stand after Madejski seems almost insulting. It would be fine if it wasn't supposed to replace the stadium, but otherwise it's a bit like taking away his knighthood and giving him a CBE to make up for it. And surely the West Stand makes more sense than the East?
Think I fall in with FDTW - established names tend to outlast new sponsorship agreements, with the possible exception of Man City who had a terrible name beforehand anyway. Derby's deal lapsed in 2016 and Birmingham have kept "St Andrews" in the name.

I other thing to consider is that potentially, the naming rights could be up for grabs every 3-5 years. Rather there was some continuity by keeping "Madejski" as part of the name.

A predictable “corrected for you” postMr Optimist It will always be the Madejski. Although it is a relatively new stadium like ours I don’t know of any Southampton fans who call St Mary’s the Vagisil Area.
