Sort of homophones. One Call= Wonk Hall. Some people started using the second term when the sponsorship of the stadium was first announced and have shortened it to just Wonk.
Personally I still refer to the ground as Field Mill, but do acknowledge that the sponsorship has helped us get to the financial position we are now in while still abiding by financial fair play rules.
Yeah i kind of like that. Wonk Hall. Gives the place an air of eccentric poshness.
I'm like you Halifaxstag. I always use the 'traditional' names for grounds regardless of sponsorship unless that ground is a mundane new build with no history that can change it's name at the whim of anyone with a few quid. Like the B2Ne.......sorry, Proact.
Accrington will always be the Crown Ground to me and not the WHAM Stadium and Field Mill will always be Field Mill.

It will be remembered as Field Mill, it is the One Call Stadium now, I think the bloke who saved the club from certain oblivion with his millions deserves that.

You need to take a chill pill train track, you don't know me and whatever you think my post earlier infers is locked up in your head, don't be so sensitive about things that don't really matter.

Fair enough Mr Grimsdale. My point still stands but i appreciate i might have got the wrong end of the stick so apologies for that.

Just going based on the ticket number allocated when pretending to buy a ticket. At roughly 880.
They haven't openly requested any further tickets above their initial allocation either so unless they have a late surge it could be quite a contrast to last season.
Quite poor support from a team who think they should be in the championship.
