God no come on .... meadow lane is meadow lane you can’t change that it’s history .. jimmy Cyril just for a start among the other players that have paved the way and managers ..!!! 

i would not have thought it would be a major worry, meadow lane will always be what we know as the ground and additional money could help. i am sure hardy is looking at ways to reduce the money going out.
we should avoid panicking just yet.

The money coming in at present is being wasted though. We could end up selling our heritage and losing it all paying poor players ridiculous wages.

the squad will sort itself out, i expect the club to release some in january but this will cost money.

meadow lane is a part of the heritage but its only the name rights, they do it with the kop and people say thats a good thing. why is this any different to that?

Noooooooooo!

I don't see the issue.

It would only be for a number years, I am certain fans would call it Meadow Lane. It's exactly the same situation as the league sponsorship and if the money was paid every year or in one lump sum if it gets Notts safe/into League One it would be well worth it.

I can your point dude and yeah in these days money sponsorship in pivotal in these days ???????? But to me the name means a lot .. meadow lane is the place where I went as kid with my uncle and loved it the place where my dad took my uncle first I then me. knew it’s the same place but the name adds to the magic of the place the memories you say meadow lane people knows the team who plays there and they are the oldest team ..again I’m a old school romantic at heart and maybe I should see that yes its good financially .. but I can’t 

I don't understand why anyone would be against this.

First the club has to find a company willing to do it.

If they do, it's only the name changed in the rights. The stadium will always be Meadow Lane, its just the broadcasters and stuff who will have to use the renaming. I don't see the issue, it's taking money for nothing at the end of the day. It's almost like robbing someone because nobody should care who buys the rights. Nobody complains about the Ice Stadium being named every whatever years it is.

Honestly, I don't care either way. People complaining about this seems a bit pathetic if you asked me.

The club has to look at any additional revenue streams, it wasn't that long ago people was suggesting this to Ray Trew. Now it's being considered people want to flip out. The ground will always be Meadow Lane but say I say I am not bothered.

I am not bothered either way.

If the club makes some additional cash or they decide to rename the stadium, it will only be short term. Take the money but if it does or doesn't happen I won't care.

I am 50/50, part of me says it's a good idea but then the nostalgia side and potential chance that the name will sound stupid.

We will have to wait for more news.

It may not happen some not going to get my pants in a twist over something that might only be an idea or something the BBC floated out there.

I suppose it depends on the length of time and the money involved.

I wouldn't want Notts to cheaply allow the stadiums name to be renamed for a small fee, it has to be the right price but as people say the KOP gets renamed. The ground will be Meadow Lane no matter what.

If it's silly money, for what it is I would just take it and not think twice about it.

I am pleased Alan Hardy wants Meadow Lane to be in the title.

Our opinions won't matter when the time comes, the clubs board will make the decision and I don't mind either way. I think it's a bit daft people crying blue murder over this, it's all about survival in League Two and making sure you have enough money. People wanted the club to take a risk like this to get out of the league and some has to pay for it, if it worked nobody would be complaining.

Not bothered but money's money at the end of the day.

It's something Notts doesn't have a lot of and if someone offered a good figure and the board said no, THEN people WOULD be moaning.

I don't mind, I can still call it Meadow Lane just like anyone else.

I don't see the problem.
