Well done to all concerned.

Very good. The Crown Oil Spotland Arena would possibly be better for the name. Personally would like Spotland to be incorporated into the name.
Is the six figure number each year, or a sum that covers the whole period?
Good to know refurbishment of the ground is happening. Coupled with yesterday's Carlsberg sponsorship, it's good commercial news for the club. |  |

The length of the deal is a fantastic aspect of this too. Of course we'll all still call it Spotland but there's nothing worse than those grounds that change their name annually which must retain little commercial value.
from the article it suggests that the shirts will be sponsored for five years too, and work is being done to upgrade the main lounge and box areas. |  | | |

t'dale fans are a funny sort. On one hand there's WAR when smoking gets banned or getting rid of standing is suggested. However when it comes to renaming stadiums and other such modern football deals then all is good. I personally don't have an issue with it, I just find it funny that this, and some of the chat at the forum about making decisions solely on if they can make a bit of money (EFL Trophy), are every bit as 'evil' modern Football as Drums and All-seater stadiums but seen as great stuff. |  | | |

Renaming a stadium wouldn't alter the overall match day experience, whereas drums, no smoking and having to sit when one prefers standing surely would.
Plus, the name changing, in the long run, could enhance the match day experience.
Nowt queer about that. | |

Excellent deal for the club in fact excellent last couple of days for rochdale football club.
I haven't got a problem with the renaming of the football ground it needed to be done to drag our club forward and a 5 year deal provides excellent stability for club and Crown oil. | |

The additional revenue will no doubt go to paying the stadium company loan off.
On the face of it, it does feel like there is a plan to make the stadium pay for itself without impacting the playing budget in the short term, once the stadium is debt free, not only will we have ourselves a nice little asset, but those additional revenues will (I would like to think) impact the playing budget in a positive way! | | | |

Getting rid of smoking and standing areas aren't just confined to Rochdale and actually benefit the match day experience for most fans.
This deal is a completely separate issue. | |

Why do you keep calling it a stadium? It's an arena now. | |

Agree with all the above - can't help but feel though that we should be getting at least £1m for a 5 year deal on shirts and stadium naming.
"The five-year agreement, which is the biggest commercial deal in the club’s history, will secure a significant six-figure investment chunk"
I've had a route around online but I can't find the amount for the old deal which was obviously shirt only, anybody in the know? |  | | |

No idea, but I imagine bury and Oldham fans still called their grounds Gigg Lane and Boundary Park. | |

I think the wording ' six figure investment chunk ' needs to be taken into account. Sounds to me like an upfront 6 figure number with more to come year on year. Sounds a good deal anyway and if Chris Dunphy is happy we should all be happy with the deal too. He's no Stewart Day. | | | |
