Begs the question, what would we potentially like to see it called now

May as well just be whores like every other club and call it based on whoever pays the most - at first when Arsenal or Man City called their grounds the Emirates or Ethiad they had an ok ring to it, but once you start with the Tony Macaroni or the Superseat and the like - it becomes a bit of a joke and clubs start to look silly IMO. But its part of the modern game so we best embrace it before we get left behind.

Main options obviously is Wethers Original ...........

 

The Harry Gow Dream Ring Stadium

Global Energy Stadium 2.

One that 'Caleyboy' will like..... The Lion's Den - 'Home of Pride of the Highlands'

The Max's2 superdome.

With the number of stores they have in Sneck, I wouldn't be suprised to see: TCS (Tesco Caledonian Stadium)..!

Seriously, in our current financial situation, whichever commercial organisation, vile payday loan sharks apart, offers to pay the most.

Kingsmills or Inverness Thistle Arena would do for me 

Obviously it will be whoever pays the most for the right to name it, but it's location at the Longman or the Firth could be used in the title.

We might as well call it Pittodrie then, isn't that the translation of what Pittodrie means? The hill of manure ?

I never knew that!

"Hills of dung are hardly unknown in football, at least in the metaphorical sense, but Aberdeen fans have a powerful affection for theirs. The name of the club's home at Pittodrie derives, evidently, from a Gaelic term for 'a place of manure'.

When the newly established club took possession of the site in 1891, they found exactly that; it had been used to stable police horses. There was also a rubbish dump while the wider area was known as Gallows Marsh."

And I've just discovered that "Ibrox" means "badgers' den"...

It would probably be best to use a Gaelic name - Air a stiùireadh le grunn luchd-call iomlan Stadium.

Built a stadium on a rubbish dump. Which club nowadays would be stupid enough to do that.? 

Has to be Telford Caledonian Stadium??

Contrary to the myth, Caledonian Stadium is not built on a rubbish tip....in fact, the vast majority isn't even built on reclaimed land.

The Subway Eat Fresh Arena

Spoilsport ?

Welcome back Don!

Was the land not made up of ash from burned refuse? This was the way that waste used to be dealt with before the practice of tipping it straight into a landfill area without any treatment, like the reclaimed land to the south east the actual 'dump'.  Being mostly ash could also explain why the land drains quite well.

Given the current state of things down by, The Graveyard might be appropriate.

The older image I have overlaid is from 1945 and I couldn't say for certain what materials were used to expand it.  I've always been told that it was graded aggregates and earth (from building developments) by people who worked on it (drivers who delivered hundreds of loads), but it's possible that it was supplemented with ash.
