they probably will call it the DW stadium, after the little yorkshire megalomaniac, but who will actually call it that?
we all had a good laugh when knowsley raod and odsal wher given daft sponsor's names but we still refer to them by there original titles.
would be quite funny to have everyone calling the place by the name of a defunct or rival company.

It has all stemmed from the fact he is currently buying all JJB Health clubs and certain stores. These will also change to DW sports. He will have no further ties with JJB therfore if he left the stadium in that name he would effectivly be advertising his rivals.

Simple really.
