Chelsea - Naming Rights Vote?

The possibility of Chelsea negotiating a deal for the naming rights, of Stamford Bridge, continues to be a highly debatable subject.

Over in the office where my normal work duties are carried out, I`ve been subjected to the usual mirth from the Spurs contingent, a contingent who have been totally oblivious to the fact that since their club published plans for their new stadium, two stands (in the published pictures) had naming rights scrawled across them.

Interestingly, the tabloids today carry an interesting discussion about the situation. Opinion remains divided with some pundits suggesting naming rights should only be up for offer on a new stadium.

One enterprising, but highly comical, Spurs supporter venting his opinion implied that his side, with their proposed new stadium, were far likelier to attract a big deal than us, especially with our old stadium. Seemingly, this less than bright spark was keen to ignore the fact that a successful club, like us, is far more likely to have big businesses interested in being associated with them.

But what do you, the Vital Chelsea readership, think?

As soon as the news broke, daspecial1 posted a poll asking for you to vote for either of two options. He wanted to know whether you thought it was an economically sound idea or was it an insult to the club?

Interestingly, opinion was almost perfectly split with 52% recognising that it was a sound idea whilst 48% believing it to be an insult to the club.

Apparently, the debate is set to rage on and on………!
