Default Etihad Stadium

A few months ago there was a lot of publicity about Melbourne's Telstra Dome changing its naming rights to..

ETIHAD Stadium

With the footy season about to get underway, I notice they still refer to it as Telstra Dome.

Did the sponsorship fall through??

Not to be confused with Telstra Stadium which is the Sydney 2000 Olympic site.

Can't wait for the footy to start...go the Crows!

From memory I think the new naming rights begin from March.

I am sure it takes affect at the official start of the AFL season. I can't remember if they had March 1 as the start day or the first game during Round 1.

Watch for some conflict here - The AFL aren't keen at all to call it Etihad stadium because Collingwood is sponsored by Emirates.

I think they both should go to hell and call it what its named

I think you'll find the conflict is less to do with Collingwood (although Collingwood have raised their concerns) and more to do with the fact that Qantas is the AFL's official airline.

The MCG is Collingwoods 'home' ground so there should be no issue, be like Ford carrying on because the AFL's major sponsor is Toyota, yet Ford sponsor Geelong.

Saw Taylor Walker play a few games for Norwood late last season, he is unusually well balanced in his movements, everything about him is so well synchronised

" The Smoother Mover " is what we call him.

AFL Management can go die in a hole anyway, who cares what they think or do, all they see is a stupid dollar sign in front of them.

Back on topic, good to see they are changing the signs. I was there watching an A-League game about a month ago and was thinking about the name change - it sounds better than "Telstra Dome," and the Etihad logo looks pretty god anyway - Better than Telstra's!
