ENIC

Everton and West Ham.
West Ham don't own their stadium.

Below are all of the premier league clubs who have built new stadiums since the turn of the millennium. I have bolded those that didn't take on a stadium sponsor. I suspect we have turned our back on considerably more money than Cardiff have in not taking on a naming partner.

Everton: (2025): Hill D!ckenson stadium
Brentford (2020): The Gtech Community stadium
Tottenham (2019): The Tottenham Hotspur stadium
Cardiff (2009): The Cardiff City Stadium
Brighton (2011): The Amex
Arsenal (2006): Emirates Stadium
Emirates Marketing Project (2003): The Etihad
Coventry (2005): The Ricoh
Swansea (2025): Liberty stadium
Leicester (2002): Walkers stadium
Hull City (2002): The KC Stadium
Southampton (2001): Friends Provident stadium

Hill dingdong is a sponsor?
 
after several years i'm not renewing my 2 STs. No big loss someone else will take them in the long list of ST waiting, but with ENIC in charge if you haven't learned your lesson by now, you never will.

They proved it January, they proved over the Summer, and they proved for the last 25 years. Enough is enough.
 

Lol I genuinely thought it was just the name of the area.

Saw an insta video of an Everton fan last night walking around Goodison Park. Made me realise how lucky we are that the new stadium is essentially in the same place. There are differences of course but things like the journey to the stadium, the pubs close, chick king etc are still all the same. He likes the new stadium but says it’s just not the same experience.
 
This would all make perfect sense if we were spending the percentage of our revenue on the playing squad that’s in line with other clubs.

Genuinely not sure what you are stating here?

Revenue is not profit or cash flow, the media and fans are sometimes so desperate to prove that somehow (usually Levy) was hording money, that whatever random financial statement seemed to sound right was picked.

Spurs owners don't take dividends, the Stadium created considerable debt (manageable), Spurs hasn't made any significant profit since pre-Covid and total spend and net spend are comparable for a top club. All of these things are fact, yes we are the 9th highest revenue club but that doesn't mean we have some bag of unspent cash available, that was in all likelihood was what the last injection of cash was about (improving cash flow).

Now, we have bought an awful lot of players in last 5 years, will buying 1-2 players less allow us to covert that spend in wages? probably.

In the end most fans don't care (unfortunate because it has killed any need by authorities to even pretend to care), Spurs has spent somewhere in the region of 600M over last two managers but City has spent more than in two windows, and Liverpool 450M in one. Unless we get City state type investment there will always be some kind of gap, all we have managed to do is to separate ourselves from the bottom, not quite reach the top.

The ST waiting list is becoming more and more of an illusion.

My son joined it in the not too distant past and was offered a season ticket before Ange's first season. I'm not convinced that we will sell out of ST's this summer and that's even assuming we stay in the PL.
 
How many of them have built brand new stadiums recently?....

This is worth a read -https://www.cityam.com/premier-league-stadiums-inside-footballs-grandstand-revolution/

Building a stadium from ground zero isn't the norm at all. Redeveloping your existing stadium is. It is not as if Spurs are the only club to have consumed a cost of infrastructure. According to this article, it's more like 70%. For us, it probably made more sense to use the existing site and start from ground zero again. For other clubs it won't I guess. I think the key is that we weren't only club to incur the cost and hassle of an infrastructure project. Sounds like lots of clubs have.

Anfield is a good example. Same capacity as ourselves.

But we are one of the relatively few clubs who have built a new stadium from scratch and therefore have an opportunity to take on stadium naming rights (naming rights are worth far more at new stadiums than for redevelopment of existing stadiums - i.e. White Hart Lane would always be known as White Hart Lane and therefore isn't worth nearly as much to a sponsor as a brand new stadium).
