Didn't Murrayfield get £10m for a 4 or 5 year deal with BT? Edit - the SRU would get the money, not the stadium

Before we get to carried away with the idea of Ethiad chucking some sort of sponsorship money our way it's probably worth pointing out that they primarily sponsor clubs owned by City Group. They do have stadium naming rights for Harlequins rugby club (who aren't Abu Dhabi owned as far as I know), but that is only so they can have their logo visible on the stadium roof to half the flights taking off or landing at Heathrow. An extra couple of million in naming rights would be nice....but no amount of money or success is worth it if the price is selling out to UAE money, changing our name to Glasgow City and our colours to light blue. ![]() ….and I know nobody is suggesting that's on the table or in any way desirable. Just pointing out their M-O is to sponsor Abu Dhabi owned clubs buying success rather than get involved with already successful clubs. Edited by randombloke, 2 Jun 2018, 08:19 AM.

I'm not wholly comfortable with the idea of the stadium being renamed to promote Abu Dhabi. |

Interesting how fans of all clubs have softened their views on naming rights in recent years. When Mike Ashley floated the idea at Newcastle many moons ago, their fans went absolutely nuts and the plans had to be scrapped. Pretty sure we also had a good laugh at Sevco’s expense when Charles Green was talking about doing it at Ibrox. Seems to have become a commercial reality now. Personally, I think if it helps us bring in better players - and keep hold of existing stars - then it’s worthwhile. |

I suppose everything is like that, grumbles at first until others start getting success from it & if you don't do it you'll be disadvantaged. Wasn't long ago Barca didn't even have shirt sponsors. If it brought in over £5m per season I think most fans would see the benefit. |

I remember Liverpool fans were happy with the prospect of moving to a new ground which was to be built in Stanley Park, but were vehemently opposed to the prospect of naming rights to Anfield being sold. Essentially happy to bulldoze Anfield, but not rename it. Personally, once it's not a ridiculous name I wouldn't care. |

Can't see our naming rights being worth too much on the basis I. It's not a new ground, everyone will still refer to Celtic Park. II. You can't use a sponsored ground name in Europe, which is our big appeal to sponsors. The Scottish market alone is very limited. As an aside, if CP was to be renamed it'd then have to be called something else entirely for European games. Example is the Aviva in Dublin doesn't get called Lansdowne Road for European games (club) |

To be fair, I think we’ve always been a bit CGAF about it. Half the support calls it Parkhead anyway, and the fishul name is hardly a work of unique creativity. I’d like to think the club would have a moral line in the sand about what they do take money to promote, but that shop has long since sailed. For all of us, not just them. Difficult to say what a decent amount would be, given our fairly unique situation and the unquantifiable nature of this type of advertising. Best scenario isn’t to have a couple of competing sponsors, and/or to have some additional stuff in the deal (academy stuff for example). |

Given the amount of financial help we get from the Council, I wouldn't have a problem if Celtic Park was called The Glasgow City Stadium. |

UEFA have changed the rules from this season that the sponsor name can be used. Rules have also changed to allow sponsors on pre match or training kit that was not allowed before (you’ll probably start to see clubs have a European training kit sponsor now) |

I'm sure the Vatican Bank would be happy to sponsor the stadium given that they've already paid for the secret tunnel to the City Chambers. |

Glad someone is finally saying it. Don't know if things have changed much since this article https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/jul/30/manchester-city-human-rights-accusations but it's not something I'd be comfortable with. |

Brillliant insight. As the previous poster said, the domestic game is of no interest to a stadium sponsor. But this makes Europe viable. Keen to see what the board have been working on. Great way to introduce it too - see the value first, with the new surface, indoor training pitch and LEDs. |
