SIR: I was interested to read recently, that Bolton Wanderers are looking for a name for their new "super stadium" at Horwich. I realise of course that what they are really looking for is a wealthy sponsor, but wouldn't it be nice if they named the new ground "The Lofthouse", as a tribute to Nat. Very soon the ground would become known as "The Loft", home of the "Super Whites". White doves in the loft, spectators on their perches, the media hype possibilities are huge. Anyone who has studied the way Manchester use their name to promote their sport, and merchandise, will agree.

If I could afford to sponsor the name, "The Loft" would be my choice. Good luck Wanderers whatever they name it.
