Pretty sure he was making a joke about HP as he said he didn't want to reveal his Source (Sauce). He was trying to make a funny (y)

I'd be happy enough with HP sponsoring it.

Just hope it's a simple name like the HP Stadium rather than something that sounds overly American.

In America they like to use the word 'field' a lot for their football stadiums. Really hope this doesn't apply to us.
31 Stadiums:

17 "Stadiums"
10 "Fields"
2 "Coliseums"
1 "Center"
1 "Superdome"


The last stadium to include "Field" in the naming rights was in 2003. The last seven that opened, are all "Stadiums"

Though - in most cases, the "Field" was replacing an iconic "stadium" and the naming rights partner probably wanted a clean break from the old name...

I am optimistic that whoever it is they will be aware of British football fans' sensitivities and it won't be anything cringeworthy like 'Field'. Will be 'stadium' or 'arena' I reckon.

After committing all that money the last thing they will want to do is shoot themselves in the foot and damage their own brand.

I’ve heard how the trees in the South Stand are an architectural feature. A quick question - is this stand going to be faced in glass or how will this work? That last video from the club doesn’t show any obvious verticals at the moment.

There'll be steel supports going in shortly and then a huge glass facade, you should be able to find some good images on google of what it should look like.
