SIR: I can understand Bolton Wanderers' desire to generate some revenue by offering to allow a commercial sponsor to have their name associated with the new ground. However, I cannot understand why they would allow the Council to come up with the 'real' name that the public will know
the stadium by - especially when they come up with a name as
nondescript, anonymous and unemotive as 'Middlebrook'.
Surely the new stadium should be given a name that resonates with the history of Bolton Wanderers ? And I can't think of a better or more appropriate name than the Nat Lofthouse Stadium.
Come on Bolton, give us a name to be proud of !
