Seems to be pretty positive so far. He bankrolled the training ground and named it after himself 😂 The company that has also came on board apparently has an owner worth £5.5 billion.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 saw a news report on Atlanta recently - showing the new ground and big crowds - is a massive city 4mill plus i think - and bit different for the southern states in attracting folks from all over i read recently that new Kingswells stadium was estimated at 45million ; think thats what they're trying to raise i dont claim to have any knowledge on construction/building costs in NE at moment - but seems low ? - considering RDS alone cost 4.5million back in early 90s from memory ? - i appreciate there were demo costs attached to old beachend too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has extremely white teeth, a perma-tan and he named the training ground after himself. Not a brilliant start for me! Could be our Charles Green/Craig Whyte - just hope he doesn't get bored. On he other hand, he brings in new and substantial investment, a hunger to compete and he seems rather well connected. I like Stewart Milne (bar a couple of silly mistakes) he's done a fantastic job for the Dons but i think he is battle weary and is happy to step aside.

Did he choose the name or did someone else decide to name it after him because he funded it?

I haven't been keeping up with the situation He part funded it - I believe his contribution was around £2M (not suggesting that is to be sniffed at and very generous of him, but he didn't fund the facility himself). He very much chose the name himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been keeping up with the situation As funny as it is, he surely missed a trick not naming it after a club legend or Gothenburg related etc. One way off getting the fans onboard with little effort surely Eddie Thompson naming a stand after himself at United rankled with a lot of us at the time and still does today. It should be renamed immediately 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usurpingly it turns out Trump is mates with whatever City heedyin is in charge of enforcing that law and managed to somehow get round it.....

The news for an entire week was all about the uproar at him having his name slapped on it. The city is historically pro-Democrat and he is hated within it’s boundaries. It’s why where I stay(25 miles outside) is total redneckville as they adore him. Kind-of why I can’t go for a pint without wanting to go all “RScot” on some cunt.
