Would be good to fill it for home games and i could see a fair few decisions go our way if everyone went in there.
I love our ground and, although the name has grown on me, i still prefer Wheldon Road as our stadium name. Obviously that would change when we move, so how about naming it after a true legend of the club?
Although no doubt it will be called something stupid like "The Atlantic Solutions Stadium" or "The GPW Recruitment Stadium" or even worse... "The Grattan Stadium"
I've stood in there a few times as well and the view is great but like you said there was no atmosphere. Convincing the WRE lot to shift just didn't really work which was a shame. It's too late now I suppose (though if anyone decides to ever give it a go again, I'll be there
), but hopefully in our new stadium we'll set up base down the side of the pitch from the first game.
Yeah, The Jungle was something I really hated at first, but it has grown on me as well. I was surprised they didn't return to calling it Wheldon Road again once the Jungle.com sponsorship ended but I suppose people will call it what they want.
As for the new stadium, they can sell the rights to the highest bidder as far as I am concerned. I think the Xscape Arena has a nice ring to it though.
