Fortunately, it will always be known as the Olympic Stadium anyway.

It's not like the Emirates which has never had another name. Who calls St James' Park the JJB Cuntface for example.

Thankfully its formal name is the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, which I quite like.

Otherwise it's the Olympic Stadium for me.

Won't be fooled by any corporate jobby.

There were plenty of suggestions in the previous "what will it be called" thread:

But I guess it ultimately depends on who the sponsor is.

More like the Wankdwarf.

Sorry for the bump, it was referenced in a newer thread.

I suspect there'll be one name that TV and the press will call it, namely whoever sponsors it, and there'll be what we call it. Judging by what I've read on here and in conversations we'll be calling it 'the ground' or 'the OS', or occasionally 'Stratford'.

I won't be calling "The Kwangdonjo Happy Investment and Currency Manipulation Stadium" or anything remotely like that.
