I.E.   The Red Bull Valley if it meant a huge investment injection?

    Depends on how huge is huge and how that money would be used.
    To me it would always be The Valley.

    But it likely wouldn’t be an injection rather a means to offset running costs for the owners. 

    Unless we get a fresh wave of enthusiasm from the ‘consortium’ to persuade them to throw cash at us it wouldn’t likely change much on the pitch I’d imagine.

    Yes. I would call it The Valley anyway.  Even if it went towards offsetting losses.  But would need to be a meaningful sum.

    No .

    its The Valley,   Nothing else.

    Thought our owners were rich?

    Yes. 

    Everyone would still call it the Valley anyway, and it would be better to be a competitive club than slide back down to league 1 eventually, which happens to all clubs who don't receive cash injections or receive serious investment

    Yes. 

    Everyone will call it The Valley apart from media and the club

    My argument would always be a case of how gutted would we be if they then moved on to the scumbags in Bermondsey and turned them into a decent Premier League outfit while we're languishing below?

    It'll always be the Valley to me... I pretty much still call, or think of all stadiums by their original name, which for Bolton > the Reebok Stadium for example is quite ironic given that was a sponsored one too. 

    Same with Arsenal, that'll always be the Emirates

    What is in a name? A rose by any other would smell so sweet. 

    Tbh I wouldn't like it, but I'd get over it.

    I have always dreamt of The Valley being renamed to The LNER 4468 Mallard Valley.

    I would be in favour if I got a slice of the money.

    "The McCains 12 chip stadium"

    Take the money, spend it, and carry on calling it the Valley anyway.

    No, absolutely not. I also realise this happens at many clubs and will more than likely happen to us at some point and we won't be able to do sod all about it.

    Stadium naming rights are the not the nailed on money-spinner many of you assume it is.

    For evidence of that just look across the river, to the London Stadium.

    What's more "the Valley" is more closely associated with the club than most stadiium names thanks to recent history which is still regularly referred to on TV commentaries. Any potential sponsor would be mindful of that.

    So I don't think the question should arise until we are an established FAPL club again. Then I could live with "Red Bull welcomes you to The Valley".

    No - 

    Unless it was big time and we needed to balance PSR - We would need to be in a division higher for that to become relevant

    Depends how big the investment was and as long as The Valley is still in the name .
