(07 Apr 2015, 6:44 pm)Adam I really can't see why they can't just leave things alone. Everyone knows it at the Conference, and I suspect many people will still call it the Conference after the "rebranding" of the league.

I'm actually fed up with football becoming more "business-y", with companies sponsoring leagues and competitions to the extent whereby presenters and pundits have to refer to them with the sponsor's names, such as "The FA Cup with Budwiser", or the "Barclays Premier League". Furthermore, I also detest it how companies are now changing established stadium names. I could go on, but I rather wouldn't as I'd annoy myself even more, and it would mean my post would be longer.

All in all, it just goes to show that money is infecting the game that we know and love on an epidemic level. I prefer to take a prescriptivist stance on the matter, preserving the traditional side of the game before the viral epidemic ruins football for all of us.

Sums things up nicely.

The sad thing is, a lot of teams could have been the subject matter and not just NUFC.

(10 Apr 2015, 11:47 am)Michael Lmao, tbh that's Mike Ashley all over... wanna bet the boycott doesn't happen this week?

(10 Apr 2015, 11:52 am)Andreos1 It will happen.
I have no idea whether it will be just a handful of people who miss the game or if it will be a few thousand mind.

(10 Apr 2015, 11:53 am)Michael Wow, that's gonna hit Mike Ashley in the pocket... no one should turn up.....
