What's the accepted name for City's ground now? I thought over the last couple of seasons it had become 'Marsh Lane'(as per main website and Twitter), but last night's programme still has it as 'Court Place Farm' and (a new one to me) Tamworth's Twitter last night said the 'Velocity Stadium'?? How about 'New White House'?

They said 'Velocity Stadium' lots on the first match too - Velocity being a sponsor.

For me, it hasn't changed. It's still what it always was, Court Place Farm, in Marsh Lane. It's a charming name, presumably a reminder of what was there before. Velocity did not build the stadium and will not be a sponsor for ever, so do we have to put up with a new name every time the sponsor changes? So confusing to the ordinary punter.

From what was said during the first match streamed, the Velocity deal is for one season. Several clubs in the EFL have similar deals apparently.

The CPF/Marsh Lane thing is quite the same as at West Ham Utd before they moved to the London Stadium; Almost always referred to as Upton Park (Marsh Lane) which was simply the area and nearest Underground station. The actual name of the stadium (CPF) was the Boleyn Ground. Similarly, at AC Milan/Internazionale, casually referred to as the San Siro. Real name...

Solihull Moors Ground is Damson Park as far as I'm concerned, it's been called a lot of things, some not very nice.

Interviwer : Gordon, could we have a quick word ? Strachan : Velocity !
