Didn’t Coventry Building Society adopt ‘The Coventry’ as their name/brand not long back? Or have I made that up? The Coventry Arena wouldn’t be bad.

Yes. They had one in Nottingham and after nights out at walking past it we’d start cov songs without fail.

Bit of a long name.

At least they have Cov branding. Would be great to have a Godiva statue sat on top of it.

Hmm....I love it for us, but it sort of feels like it is giving Wasps more legitimacy as a "local" club too.

Not very impressed with how this has been announced on the CBS website.
We’re buzzing to announce that Wasps’ 32,000 seat stadium is going to be renamed the Coventry Building Society Arena

The home of Wasps Rugby and Wasps Netball, and hosting conferences, live music and global events, the Coventry Building Society Arena will bring people together.

Strong community values is something we have in common with Wasps

Whats not to like, right colours, has our name in it, and the "Coventry" is the biggest part of the logo, will look good on the ground but the name is a mouthful!

Surprised its the building society to be honest. Can't imagine they're putting up the big bucks and if they are won't their members have something to say being as they are a mutual and supposed to operate in its members best interest?

Presume that's who Wasps have got their massive mortgage with??

Although given they’re self-publicising as Coventry Building Society Arena I guess they changed back!

Yeah, it's a bit "National League" for my liking. Where are Budget Skips when you need a strong local name?

I actually like it, It's going to end up shortened to 'The Cov' or 'The Coventry'. Makes it sound even more like our place than theirs.

I’ve only ever really said I’m going to the match/game or up the city anyway.

“I’m going to the Ricoh Arena today to watch Coventry City play a football match” doesn’t sound the same.

They were mooted quite a way back weren't they, possibly before Wasps rolled up.
Last time I checked their rates were higher than the competition.
Does that mean they can afford this or that they have less custom than the rest?

I've always gone for

"I'm going to the Ricoh Arena, built by The Miller Partnership and opening in 2005 to watch a match of professional association football involving Coventry City Football Club (founded in 1883 as Singers FC) and [insert opposition details]. The game will be played in the SkyBet Championship, the second tier of the English football pyramid.

Haven't looked back through thread yet, but guessing that there are several 'lack of interest' jokes?

Rich Williams off CWR making out that it will be difficult to sing 'EIEIEIO off to the Cov Building Society Arena we go', as if we used to sing that about the Ricoh?!?!?

To be fair it is a deal between CBS and Wasps to rename the stadium Wasps own.

I bet Cov Building Supplies are hoping it gets abbriviated.

If I was them I'd play off it.
