Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53473161 To be fair, it's not the first, and certainly not the last, media outlet to get utterly confused as to what our stadium is called. I still occasionally hear (admittedly non-Scottish) commentators refer to it as Love Street. It not been at that location for nearly 20 years! For those who don't know, we changed the name of the stadium in November last year. Is it now the Celtic Shop Stadium? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are obliged to use the sponsor's name. Nobody else is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a different point though, and to an extent I agree, but when your national broadcaster doesn't know the name of a stadium, one that had changed 8 months previously and was widely reported on, that's a "bit of a minter". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hideous trend that football fans should resist at every turn. Grounds should under no circumstances ever be allowed to change their names. New names are obviously needed when clubs move, but otherwise, it just shouldn't happen. No company's name should ever be allowed to feature in the name either. That quiz is ridiculous. All three possible multiple choice answers to at least one question, were just stupid, unwieldy names of companies. What sort of pervert knows such answers? Disgusting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
