I am sure this is a misundrstanding 0 in Rigby ternss the Stormer area includethe Boland and SOuth Westen Distruct areas - who compete inm th e CC a independet unions, When the Team was originally annoimnced it was called the Western Province team and not the Storrmers - you will find that designation also on Rugby 365.

WPRugby 1883-2026

RIP
Did they lose naming rights when going bankfrot ?
& there are no dissenting voices to be heard either?

Imagine if Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool or ManU did something similar ... their fans would go apeshit.
Jawellnofine, from our sheeple.
Shame.

I miss those streeptruitjies and the disa boykies, not gonna lie. I come from the school of Michael du Plessis conceding a penalty in the last minutes of the 1988 Currie Cup final to have Naas kick the cup from under Province's gat. The best of times, the worst of times but it was great.

Money Money MOooney!!!

Poor old Newlands are laying vrot, the carcass is still there, no grass, just a dust patch of a once great stadium with all of its quirks. The DA went out of its way to defunct WP so that they can get a crowd into the Cape Town stadium next to where all the Nigerian drug dealers litter the road along will all the sketch prostitutes in Sea Point, flanked by all the corrupt ANC cadre's like good old Cyril that has many floors over looking the ocean.

Gone are the lekker vibes, the newland neighbourhood and the standing section where you had all races shouting for WP.

It was probably one of my favourite stadiums. You are really close to the action and the crowd.

I blame the coloured faction that took WP over due to sheer numbers and incompetence.

WP was run into the ground. It was the only Province that owned its own stadium and was cash rich. All the other unions moaned because the could bring the best players to come and play, not that they needed to.

I never liked the Stormers name. It just never stuck. At least the Sharks,Bulls and Cheetahs stuck as that was their symbol.
