As from July 1st, we will be watching football at the Toughsheet Community Stadium!
No - I haven't heard of them either.
They are a Bolton-based recyclable building product manufacturer

I can see hours and hours of opposition fans having fun at our expense with that. Keep thinking about the revenue and its only for 5 years 🤪🤪

Is this another case of Neil Hart failing to read the room. Membership scheme, private Eye parking/cost of parking, bus service reduction.
I thought the whole thing was about galvanising the rapport between community and club. Given us a club to be proud of. How can you have any pride playing at the tough turd stadium.
Also thought we were in talks with global brands. Real disappointed. Surely there was similar bids with a brand more on point with what we're about.
Think we need to finally give the stadium an actual name that us fans can refer it to when we get this sort of nonsense.

Any chance we can change it to QuikQuid
This is truly truly awful I thank any local business investing in their local football club and I respect their reasons for doing this, but even the business name they have must have come in for some heavy stick, from staff, customers, outsiders???
It’s got ‘piss take us’ written all over it, regardless of the shortened version TS Community Stadium!!!
Sharon & Neil, you’ve done amazingly well so far but that’s just reversed all the good work and good intentions of your previous dealings in one fail swoop (in my view only)
Dreadful dreadful name This has compiled more misery on what has been a crap weekend
REEBOK Always and forever ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Isn't this new stadium name going to have visiting teams quaking in their boots? Surely we should have a local stadium name as at Southampton and sponsorship should be for something else. It's sad that such a successful local firm has such an apposite but unfortunate name, though.

What’s wrong with the TSC Stadium, no need to use the company’s full name at all. I’m obviously out of step here but despite the obvious regarding the name, signing up with a growing local company is fine by me. Of course some of the wags will make fun of it but this is a serious company and if they’ve been able to grow the business under that name as well as they have then it’s obviously not put customers off and it shouldn’t do us either. The company’s run and staffed by Wanderers fans so I think it’s a great agreement. Just remember there was a time not that long ago that we were worried about it being the Boo Hoo or Pretty little Things Stadium!! 🥴

If the stadium were referred to simply as "The TSC" then the company would not then get the name recognition from its sponsorship, in that builders and builders merchants would be expected to be made more aware of its existence and products, which are undoubtedly excellent. For instance a neighbour's garden wall recently totally collapsed because it had not been built on foundations which included the right kind of plastic in the footings. Maybe there's a marketing phrase there " Toughsheet footings support the best footy". Someone must be able to improve on that......?

Clearly the company want the publicity but it seems they also want to sponsor because they are serious fans of the club. From what I understand the company have agreed to the TS Community Stadium so the actual full name ToughSheet doesn’t appear anyway and I’m not sure why it needs the “Community” bit included either, surely just the TS title was enough? I like your advertising slogan Kenglo, maybe the company should sign you up? 🤗
