Kingspan Stadium

Just disgusted sold out to the man.
A ground with true history ruined by a silly deal.
So much for the talk by our leader of not changing the name before consulting the fans.

Not a massive fan of this type of thing but they're giving us plenty of cash and the name 'Ravenhill' will hardly all of a sudden go out of fashion amongst rugby folk

Irish Waste have bought the naming rights to Anscombe.

Who cares - we'll all still call it Ravenhill and it means more money to fund the team.

Given it will still be know as Ravenhill by fans I'm surprised Kingspan didn't have the sense to acknowledge that in the name ie "Kingspan Stadium at Ravenhill Rugby Grounds"

Whatever way you look at it now every reference in the media, on tickets, programmes everything bar the supporters talking amongst themselves it will be known as the Kingspan Stadium. Still think they could have included Ravenhill.. Shame

I think we would all have preferred it to be called Ravenhill, but he who pays the piper to the tune of several million can call whatever tune he likes......
It will be called Ravenhill in common parlance anyway.

Not too fussed on the new name, but rewriting the history of Ravenhill is beyond the pale.
From the wiki page:
Kingspan Stadium has hosted 18 international matches, including pool games in both the 1991 and 1999 Rugby World Cups.

WTF?

But it's not a new stadium. It's just Ravenhill with a different name.

I'm sorry but this is a load of balls. It's giving Ulster Rugby a good chuck of cash for something which has absolutely zero impact on the team or fans. It's free money.

Who cares what the "official" name of the stadium is. Every single fan will still call it Ravenhill. So what's the problem here?
