Football: Fun with Stadiums

So.... Arsenal's new stadium is gonna be called Emirates Stadium, after the Middle Eastern airline agreed to sponsor the stadium.

All together now: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, I thought this might be a good time to rename some of the OTHER stadiums around England after some potential sponsors...
  1. Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) -> Roman's Place
  2. Anfield (Liverpool) -> Estadio rojo de EspaƱa
  3. Old Trafford (Manchester United) -> Old McDonald's (a Big Mac-United, anyone?)
  4. Villa Park (Aston Villa) -> Villa Parkmay (Team buses included in the deal)
  5. The Riverside stadium (Middlesbrough) -> Harry's Riverside Cruise Stadium
  6. Upton Park (West Ham) -> Damansara Uptown Construction Park
  7. White Hart Lane (Tottenham Hotspur) -> White Castle Lane (Harold and Kumar not included)
  8. Elland Road (Leeds United) -> Melon Road (sponsored by Ah Hong Watermelon Farm, who bought the stadium on E-bay)
  9. Carrow Road (Norwich City) -> Kenari Road (Well, Proton sponsors their jerseys, so Perodua can sponsor the stadium...)
  10. Wembley (England) -> Support Bush Stadium

Complain to the referee here! => |
