LET'S CALL IT WHITE ROCK

8 August 2005

The Evening Post has reported that more than three-quarters of people taking part in their poll have voted for the name White Rock. In the past, the media was asked to abandon that name was because it did not want to put off potential sponsors.

They complied with this request but that was nearly a year ago and the asking price has dropped from £800,000 to £250,000 and The New Stadium Swansea is now making us a laughing stock.

The Evening Post is on record as saying that it disapproves of the temporary name. So why not join the majority of fans and start using the name White Rock as well?

If a sponsor does eventually appear then we will all expect the new name to be used.
