Yeah inevitable really

“After more than 100 years, Twickenham will still be referred to as Twickenham”

I ******* hate stadium branding. Especially on old stadiums. Well rename Wembley next.

It's inevitable but like the Skydome still being skydome. I can't imagine anyone referring to it as something diffre t other than commentators.

As I said on the other thread, disgusting decision.
If the RFU hadn’t mismanaged the finances for years, there would be no justification for them doing this.
It will always be Twickers to me, just like the Saints is still the Gardens.

Bill Sweeny gets paid nearly £700k to come up with this shite.

Honestly for a £100 I'd have knocked them them up a Saints badge and come up with a new name. All done within an hour. Whilst still having a 45 minute break.

I think spending 7 min on the badge is how Saints got this problem in the first place

Shame they didn’t.

RFU looked at abandoning Twickenham and hosting England in Birmingham

The Rugby Football Union considered a Midlands site with ‘better access for whole of the country’ before opting to stay at a renamed Twickenham

Good idea maybe Wembley stadium should sell it's naming rights for at least £100 million pounds.
