wendyredredrobin Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Isn't it about time the South Stand had a name? I know that this has been mentioned before, but the subject seems to have died a death. Is there nobody in our great history worthy of having his name being put on it?

ZiderEyed Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Louis Carey Stand Wedlock Stand Gerry Gow Stand Terry Cooper Stand Or just the East End. Totally agree with you, the name "South Stand" is a bit shit really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS15_RED Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 The Terry Cooper Stand would be my preference. We may have had higher profile or more successful managers, but never one who worked as hard or who cared as much. If he isn’t to have a stand named after him, it’s imperative somewhere within the Ground he is recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also sad that Louis Carey, the man who played more games for the club than anyone else isn’t recognised either. As a joint season ticket holder, City and rugby, the rugby fans should realise that AG is our home of 113 years and it’s therefor logical that stands, boxes etc, are named after City luminaries.

TC's reign was a bit before my time but from the stuff I've read / watched and the stories I've heard about him from older reds tells me all I need to know. The club really should be recognising his amazing contribution to our club imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 The South End, as in, Bristol South End, our former name. It's in Bristol South and the South end of the ground. We can still have the East End of the South End, but, let that be the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lympsham Red Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 At the end of the day, I understand the concerns of the rugby fans, but Ashton Gate has (virtually) always been the home of Bristol City, for over a hundred years. The same can't be said for the rugby club. It's Bristol City who bring in the most fans, the most revenue, and the most publicity in general. If Bristol Rugby can put up playing in a red stadium surely they can understand only one of our stands having a name relevant to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
