Drogheda United are to rename their home ground for the coming season after one of their “corporate patrons”, won the right to select a new name in a club-run lottery. “I have seen young Drogheda fans with banners saying ‘It’s ok not to be ok’ and I think it’s wonderful that younger people are confronting the stigma of mental health,” she says. “I really hope the renaming of United Park takes this a step further.”Dean Arrowsmith, chair of Head In the Game, says that the organisation “wants to work on breaking down stigma and getting people to speak to one another when they’re having a difficult day or week. We hope our campaign can do a lot of good over the season ahead. I want to thank the team in Drogheda United for getting us involved and for their ongoing support; it’s a privilege for us as a group and we hope our campaign can be embraced right throughout the League.”
