Re: Topps Tiles - new main sponsor
In the same way the Crumbie is festooned with Breedon sponsorship (and so could be seen as the Crumbie stand sponsored by Breedon, or the Breedon Crumbie) you could do similar by festooning the Martin Johnson stand with Topps Tiles sponsorship and call it the Martin Johnson stand sponsored by Topps or the Topps Tiles Martin Johnson stand or something like that.Mark62 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 11:09 amMuch as it’s a great idea, where’s the sponsorship money in that.wellstiger wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 11:06 am Burn baby Burn its a disco inferno............

No, not that one!

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Topps Tiles - new main sponsor
The Members stand ceased to exist years ago, it maybe a fond memory for some but it has gone. The slag heap disappeared over 25 years ago when we built the Alliance and Leicester. The club house went as did the Nissan hut, we still have the Crumbie stand and terrace but one day they too will go and be replaced, to people who have been Crumbie dwellers for many years changing names does not alter what we call it but when it is a new building then it ceases to be the Crumbie and if the club can make money by naming it for a sponsor good luck to them.

"Exactly", ~ as has been said before ~ "there is a very high IQ level in Block Q of The Crumbie!" and many of us cannot wait to return there.

Will there be a replacement terrace when the dear ol' Crumbie is consigned to history?johnthegriff wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 3:03 pm The Members stand ceased to exist years ago, it maybe a fond memory for some but it has gone.

As a former stalwart of said terrace, who sadly only gets to a couple of games each season nowadays, I sincerely hope that those who prefer to stand will not be disappointed when the time comes to redevelop the Crumbie stand

Re: Topps Tiles - new main sponsor
I hope that when is any development they keep the tunnel for the players through the crowd, which I think is almost unique now certainly in the premiership.
I don’t know whether I dreamt it, but I’m sure when the built the big stand, there is provision for changing roomS under there and there is already a tunnel onto the pitch

Re: Topps Tiles - new main sponsor
I'm pretty sure they will keep the terrace/build a replacement terrace when the Crumbie is finally redeveloped. Had it not been for lockdown, I reckon they would have started on it next season.

Re: Topps Tiles - new main sponsor
Now a good gimmick would be for them to hand out a free tile every time a spectator enters the ground. Season ticket holders would then be able to collect enough to retile the kitchen or bathroom at home. Maybe even both!
