If true....a VERY good thing. BEC would obviously want something in return for their investment and this brings closer ties to Haven.

Well if this is true it will always be the recreation ground for me. Bit like Newcastle when they changed their ground name. It didn't last long !!!

Obviously it's down to a Sponsorship Deal with BEC, you can argue realy if its bringing money into the club.

what does BEC stand for , remind me? Yes shades of St.James, the Recreation ground means something to the rest of Rugby League, BEC arena just another example of corporate babble speak which will give no benefit whatsoever to BEc and if they think it does they and the BOD are deluded, I will not use that appelation EVER!!! :witch: again another example of simply selling out our heritage. I think you can argue Haven Warrier heritage, pride, passion versus an extremely dubious benefit to the sponsors, can you honestly see guys on King Street saying on a Monday "wus thu doon et BEC areena yesterday" laughable. British Energy Coast got it. Spacecake as you say "if the crack is right" which conjurs up images of false dawns a plenty this is the fourth in as many years!! A million is not a lot if the men in suits are once again in charge, fancy architects, fancy plans and the same people in charge who already have made a mess of the last effort, sometimes I despair.

Sorry CC, but that is the sort of response I would have expected from our BODs, but maybe for once they have actually pulled something off. I cannot see BEC wanting to be associated with the ground in its current state. So maybe it's onwards and upwards, at least give them the chance.

Really?

We are on the bones of our arse and people are whinging about the name of the ground.

It's about time we moved with the times - the ground is a dump anything that enables us to modernise it is fine with me.

I'd rebrand the club at the same time.

What about Whitehaven Energy or something like that?
