wow I'm surprised no one has said Ashburton Grove, I guess because its new and once EMirates contract runs out the fans will get annoyed calling itdifferent names and keep Ashburton Grove (Like West Ham's Upton Park is not actually called Upton Park)

it should be Ashburton Grove...i don't agree with stadiums being named after sponsors...what happens when the sponsor is no longer there? just another example of Arsewipes letting foreigners take over their club!!
Spurs haven't changed the name to Mansion House,although that wouldn't be a bad name!
The possible exception is Bolton with the Reebok stadium..the owner of Reebok is from Bolton,and has been a life long Bolton fan,and paid for the majority of the stadium,and he will probably always sponsor Bolton in some way or another!
Emirates put some money towards the stadium..but i don't think it was enough to take their name!!

Ashburton Grove. The naming of stadiums after sponsors is yet another death knell and totally wrong. Fair enough, they have ploughed money into the club but they have their name on the shirts and in huge letters on the outside of the stadium itself. If they must have the company name in there, what's wrong with Ashburton Grove sponsored by Emirates? Therefore, I recommend everybody starts calling the home of Bolton Wanderers 'Burnden Way sponsored by Reebok'!!!

Ashburton Grove. I don't like stadiums to be given commercial names, but sadly it is the reality now. Many lower league clubs have their age old names for their stadiums changed just because they need money from the sponsors.
Example: Coventry's ground is called the Ricoh Arena (a Japanese electronics company), and Leicester's stadium is the Walker's Stadium (a food company). Arsenal is the highest profile club of them all.
Truth is, money runs football now, and that is just one consequence that has happened.

I prefer calling it Emirates Stadium.It sounds so good.It doesn`t matter as long as that place has a particular name.
