Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Livingston isn't a franchise it's a football club. I thought it was a designer mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Scarborough's ground used to be called the McCain Stadium - the first ground in Britain to change its name for sponsorship purposes IIRC. After Sunderland built their tragically-named rip-off "Stadium of Light", the McCain Stadium was known as the "Theatre of Chips" I'd have thought our re-christened Dildodrill might merit a mention, but I guess nobody gives a toss I don't think I ever knew about Stirling's Doubletree Hilton thing, but I'd have loved to see what Forthbank would have ended up being called if the Stirling Meercats had panned out. The OrlovDome? Oh, and it's probably fair to say that Livingston aren't a franchise; it's not like the original club are still around, and nobody's wanting to open up new branches of Livingston FC anywhere. It's more of a construction project wearing the skin of the football club that it killed, a la Buffalo Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The Global Energy Stadium is pretty shite. Power cuts in live games as well on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The Shyberry Excelsior. Sounds like an expensive hotel not the Scottish HQ of the KKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrdavidson95 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The Shyberry Excelsior. Sounds like an expensive hotel not the Scottish HQ of the KKK. That's around the corner on the Main Street. The Excelsior acts as an outpost, if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Quite appropriate given Livi's penchant for paying a penne in the pound. Also... Give us an A.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
