I like that

Me too - it's got a ring to it.

Do you think the fans will have any say in the name at all? I mean, even if it ends up being sponsored, there could still be a vote on whether we use the word 'arena', 'ground', 'stadium' etc.

At least they cannot call it Arena Essex

 

[RobM.]

Oliver Triig Stadium - after all, he founded the club.

 

[silentshrimper]

I like the name fossets farm, or new roots hall.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

If our local train operators sponsored it, at least we'd be able to argue that there was only ONE Arena in Essex...

I'd vote for something like the New Kursaal - it'd be a little bit different, that...

 

[canveyshrimper]

If c2c sponsored it we could be overcrowded, and late for fixtures due to the wrong kind of snow on the rails.

I would favour New Roots Hall, or the Stadium.

Would also favour namimng stands after past heroes, so will kick that off with The Billy Best Stand.

 

[southend4ever]

What would you call the ends - The north bank, east stand, west stand and pier end.

The Fossets Pier,

Blue Dream Arena

 

[Uncle Leo]

Either the stadium or one of the stands should be named after Sid Broomfield

Other suggestions for stands:

Trevor Roberts
Oliver Trigg
Roy Hollis
Alan Moody (the Moody End would be a good place to put all our Discussing fans!)Sandy Anderson

Plus I'd love for there to be an end named the North Bank.

 

[ldnfatso]

Gotta be called Sidney Broomfield Stadium!! with a statue outside the ground of the great man with his trowel!!!

However, i would consider set of lavatories to be named after the following:
Vic Jobson
Anton Johnson
Steve Wignall
Dick Bate

Good shout James, as Sid Broomfield did so much to get Roots Hall built then I think it would be a great idea to name the stadium after him. Or akin to Wembley Way, Sid Broomfield Way.

The Dirty Nun's Slit would certainly be an original title.

I really wouldn't like "New Roots Hall"

I know Millwall hate the name "New Den" because its not new any more.

Its quite clearly Not roots hall is it ? and not even a new Roots hall its a new stadium in its own right.

If its called Fossets Farm then i'm cool with that.

Always makes me laugh its not like Roots hall has a reputation as a fortress or an intimidating place is it... I love the place but.... what is it with people and change...

 

[Wessex Blue]

Saxon Hall -

Saxon, not everyday you find a king on your doorstep


Hall - Extensive Local use - Roots Hall, Earls hall, Edwards Hall etc

 

[EastStandBlue]

Broomfield Park...

 

[sealion]

Anything but FF. Gives the impression of a bunch of dimwit carrot crunchers.
I like The Shrimpers Arena but suspect it will be a sponsored name as money talks. Shame though.

 

[Firestorm]

could one of the hospitality areas be called

the wiggy thinks flavs is Suite

Nope. I'm afraid that doesn't work for me at all:

1. There's already a Bloomfield Road in England (Blackpool).

2. There is already a New Broomfield in Scotland (Airdrie United).

3. There has already been a Broomfield Park in Scotland (Airdrieonians, as were).

4. There are other grounds in England which sound fairly similar - Brunton Park, Blundell Park, Boothferry Park. "Broomfield Park" would just be another Park beginning with B - not very original, and especially so given the name of Airdrie's ground.

Either:

(a) Get it sponsored - eg the Hi-Tec Stadium; or
(b) Call it what/where it is - one of:

* Fossetts Hall
* Sutton Road (which it is, as a push)

That's what I reckon, at any rate.
