The Naming Rights Thread

Google deal sealed just as Mbappe comes on the market at 400m. Coincidence? I think not….

Hopefully this means the stadium will now accept cache.

It might mean the stadium will know your browser history.....

 

[spurmin]

Not that I can afford to go anymore but I'd this happens I really hope it leads to some real futuristic stuff being installed at the stadium.

What? Like a space bar?

I did wonder, as we have Hewlett Packard as an official IT partner, whether any deal with Google could interfere or cause issues with that? I don't really know anything about it though so just thinking out loud really.

Interactive tablets for the seats? Vr being introduced, holograms bring used for entertainment?

I'd love one of those wrap around screens like the stadium in Atlanta has.

Can’t wait to see the half-time “entertainment” based on search history ?

I think the HP partnership would be unaffected. I believe their presence at Spurs is mainly hardware and back end related… POS terminals, networking infrastructure, the ticketing systems, turnstiles etc.

I guess Android devices, tablets and handsets etc could well become used in the training ground and for first team purposes though, like the NFL using Microsoft Surface tablets for tactical stuff on the pitch.

Then again, things change fast in technology…!

Like a right wing back that can take free kicks

Or perhaps they'll help negotiate deals with clubs, agents and players based on their "secret" browsing history. That would be worth 10x the naming rights!

Don't go crazy and get ahead of yourselves (I know, it's SC) but there is truth in the Google rumours.

Let's see ?

Google ❌️

Disappointed to hear that but trust the club to get this right and they obviously didn't fit.

Not sure he’d integrate straight into the starting XI. Might need 6 months to understand his position and also improve on his tactical awareness. Good option off the bench in the meantime for the last 5/10mins until he’s had a good pre season with us

Massive company but as a club you wouldn’t want Google in your stadium name. It doesn’t have the same ring to it as Etihad or Emirates. Google sounds a bit shit.

I'd rather have a shit name of a tech company, than a shit name associated with murderous regimes.

This is a bit like what people say when a fit girl turns them down.

“Yeah she was a super model, but her name didn’t really match with my last name so it could never work long term.”

I've definitely never said this...

Securing Google as a sponsor would have been a massive coup for the club, I would have been all for that. It’s a name however that doesn’t flow well off the tongue. I’m not supporting what’s behind City or Arsenal but the brand names as a ‘name’ are both powerful and stand out. We could have Google plastered all over the stadium but being called the ‘Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’ sounds a damn sight better than anything with Google in it.

 

[BosSpurs08]

Weird that this was picked up by a couple reputable outlets, if it's true that it's not on. Wonder if this was a club leak with the purpose of creating urgency with another potential sponsor?
