If we did buy the stadium, am I correct in saying that we could rename it to what we want?
Not saying I would change the name, but its a possibility, and curious to know what Huw and the rest of the board would call the stadium. |  | | |  |

The only white Rock I know are White Rock Damproofing. I can't see them paying millions to name the ground somehow. |  | | |

I'd be happy with the White Rock.
I'm trying to work out whether those who are unsure of White Rock are serious in their ignorance or not. If the latter, it speaks volumes of our new fanbase. |  | | |

The Morfa Bowl? The new vetch? The tawe stadium? the Tan Arena? The LG Ground? The Swansea Arena? The Swan Field? The Copper Ground? The Nev Wilshire Stadium? The Hayley the tea lady ground? The GWFX Arena? |  |

I know the significance of the white rock name, but any romanticism to have the stadium named that is a non starter. Why, because the stadium naming rights will go to the highest bidder within reason. | |

Innit.
It seems the Real Welshies don't give a shyte about naming rights income.
I wonder what they'd put on the shirt... White Shirt? |  |

Its my understanding that the current deal with Liberty is up this year, but i may be wrong... |
I think you are right.
From memory the original deal was for 5 years and then extended to 10 | | | |

It could be incorporated with a sponsor name

Many know the history of the derivative of White Rock.
However any company paying millions is going to want it named after them.
Cannot see Tescos or whoever being happy with "The Tesco White Rock Stadium" or whatever. | | | |

Personally I like the name Liberty Stadium as it seems to speak of freedom, regardless of the fact it was named after Liberty Properties, I would like to keep it as we have now got used to it.
Why not have for example, the GWFX Liberty Stadium (or whoever else) We would then have 2 sponsors. |  |

I would guess the contract with Liberty would remain valid. Don't know how long it has to run. We could try to pay them off if required, like we did with 32red.
In reality, as others have said, we could call it what we liked once the Liberty contract was up, but we would just sell the naming rights to the highest bidder. | | | |

This is definitely the way to go i think. Don't know the exact figures or time scale of any payments, but let's say £27 million over ten years = £2.7 million P/A, with stadium naming rights and a few concerts in the summers that figure of £2.7 million P/A would be easily affordable. |
If it were that easy to generate almost 3million a year why would the council be looking to sell? |  |
