    I agree with The Voice it reads and sounds so much better without the word "Ltd"!

    Re: Thornbury Surfacing Ltd Stadium

    I dont like it. Here's why.

    Its Hardenhuish Park. In Chippenham. Not Thornbury.

    In Tarmac we trust, but in Hardenhuish park we play.

    If the grounds being renamed for all Neil's done for the club (and he has done a lot) wouldn't there have been a case in the past for naming the ground after the Webb family given everything they did for the club?

    A cynic might say that would this have happened had we not been going on the TV....

    Always be Hardenhuish Park to me

    I'm sorry but it will always be Hardenhuish Park to me, hate all this renaming of grounds.

    IMHO opinion it would have been better to name the cricket end stand in honour of Neil and thornbury surfacing.

    Ground naming just divides opinion and takes away what should be a celebration of what Neil and his family have achieved.

    These things are usually done so one business can give another business money via sponsor means, hopefully there's some money involved as well...

    With all due respect to Neil, I don't think this is a good idea at all. Dedicating a stand maybe, but renaming the ground, particularly during its centenary celebration year, is far too big a step for me.

    Is this a joke??
    I’ve just ripped up my 2 tickets I bought for the FA cup game in disgust.

    That would make it a tiny bit easier to swallow, but surely without ffp at our level they can just invest in the club without trying to pretend it's a sponsorship?

    This has clearly divided opinion. I have mixed feelings about this, growing up in Chippenham it was always 'the Town Ground' to me and my mates. I'm not sure I could ever refer to it as anything else, but progress is progress. (As long as the next move is not to tarmac the pitch!)

    I don't have a problem with the name change but my wife fell about laughing, not by the Thornbury Surfacing bit but referring to the ground as a stadium.
