I just get this feeling when i hear people refer to the Metrocentre by its proper name 'intu Metrocentre'. Nobody seems to refer to Eldon Square as 'intu Eldon Square' so i dont know why the Metrocentre should be any different. To me it will always be called the Metrocentre regardless of who owns it and what they do to its name. Bit like St James' Park when it was renamed to the Sports Direct Arena. I still referred to it as St James' Park and so did a lot of people i know.
I have no idea why the majority owners feel the need to tell the world about themselves - they have done it all over the country too. It isn't just confined to those two shopping centres.
CSC didn't brand it CSC Metrocentre and the Queen doesn't insist on the Gate being called 'Royal Estates Gate' either.
With regard to the naming thing, an ex girlfriends mother, calls it the 'Meteor-oid Centre'.
No, I have no idea why either... :s
