I’m not really a fan but those using it as a reason to say the owners are skint…
would you say Brentford, Man City, Bournemouth, Arsenal, Brighton and Leicester are also all skint?
Go and check the figures for how much revenue those clubs are earning from them stadium rights, and then estimate how much we would get in comparison if you look at other league1 teams. Completely different scenarios and we are not comparable to the likes of those clubs who are so far ahead of us that they shouldn't be brought into the conversation. I don't think the issue would be entirely with the stadium name, more so how much we would get from losing our soul (probably not a lot)
This will just turn into another endless debate, snappy comments, and being rude to fellow Charlton fans.
None of us can stop it, none of us have the money to make the difference, we are all at the mercy of whoever decides these things.
It's obvious though that if it does happen, it will not bring in a massive amount of money, as we aren't a big enough draw.
The general mood will be that the majority won't be happy with the Valley being renamed. Unfortunately, many of us aren't happy about paying taxes, doesn't mean much.
People can paint it however they want, it's just another step towards identity loss that we have become quite accustomed to over the past decade or so.
It doesn’t particularly matter. It’s money that the club wouldn’t otherwise had, hence I understand why it’s under discussed despite not being something I’d personally like.
Given the rest of your post I think we are largely on the same page on this one.
