Are you good to call things by their new name?

Interesting the Aviva stadium will be called Dublin Arena and not Lansdowne road during Euro 2028.

If I was working on radio, I would outright refuse to do this.

And that would be the end of your on air radio career.

Virgin Media TV sent a great response to Twitter, after the re-brand to X.

Happens in every sport with a major tournament. Etihad will be city of Manchester stadium. Uefa will effectively have complete control over those stadiums for the tournament and they might be sponsored by a different insurance company/airline etc.

There was/is an estate in Churchtown/Rathfarnham called Mountain View-it’s a 1960s former council estate - its name changed from Holylands in the early 80s because it was a notorious hotspot for trouble- the usual few bad eggs making misery for the majority good eggs.

Its mad to see houses there now going for over 400k - I still call it holylands 😀

I always say Belfield, my kids give out to me and say it’s UCD; Carysfort is UCD too. Think Belfield is more accurate 😜

If you look at Bus Eireanns website they name bus stops of shops that closed 10/20 years ago.

Do people still refer to Lynched rather than Lankum?

I'm not great for doing that. Venue and sport entity names in particular. Especially when such a thing had a perfectly nice catchy name or at least something that you got used to over the years and next its called after some stupid corporate entity.

Like whotf called it the Barclay Premiership when it was called that? I bet nobody only the people in the studio who had to do it. Or the DP World Tour. Its the European Tour end of. Twitter will be Twitter.

Sometimes I do. But there is no pattern to it. If it sounds alright I guess.

It's called 3Olympia now? Wtaf? Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea to begin with? I mean even from 'their' point of view. Ye lets call an old, cool, established cultural venue after our stupid useless faceless company, people will love it and will love us for it... Really?
