MADEJSKI STADIUM COMPLEX
The 'Madejski Stadium Complex' is:
a new development consisting of a medium-sized football ground with all the things you'd now associate with the Premiership - eg Integral William Hill betting, pie shop/McDonalds/conference halls/a luxury hotel/etc
or
the name of a psychological condition in which the afflicted person feels the need to name grandiose and expensive projects after himself; compulsive eponymous habits.
Obviously, it's the former, but whenever I see or hear reference to the "Madejski Stadium Complex" - which is often - I think of it in terms of the latter. Madejski is a Polish multi-millionaire, who made his fortune with AutoTrader magazine and gifted the town with a 21st century football ground. Perhaps it will enter the language of psychology. Probably not.
