Offside Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Terry Cooper is my favourite City manager and should definitely be honoured in some way at the ground, but I’d rather it was named after Billy Wedlock - a long serving player with the most England caps and a key player in the club’s early years.

Calculus Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 There are so many deserving candidates. Other than using whole stands we could name individual blocks, bars, the coffee shop or restaurants after people. Newcastle United have a bar named Shearer's and there are a few examples up and down the country. 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. louis carey left us for Coventry it didnt work out and came back what about the sir geoffrey merrick stand one of the Ashton eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I doubt any away fans are confused, we are not a very loud home crowd, they probably can’t hear the song anyway...and it’s ‘Forza Eastenders’ by the way, so it seems you can’t hear it either...

Meh Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 The “Wedlock Cooper 8” stand - will confuse the shit out of away fans thinking this was a VIP from the 1800s or something - but we will know the true meaning - we can’t make a decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I was thinking about this the other day actually, I'm a fan of just calling it the south stand, boring I know but I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Its nice to remember past heroes, but these days naming rights are big business and if the club had any sense they'd do a deal with a major sponsor and name the stand after them. In the business I'm in, buildings are named for people who donate money to see them named. Slightly sad, but that's the way it is. I suppose you can always combine the two (wasn't it once the Carling Atyeo stand?). However, I'm struggling to think of anyone who deserves to have a stand named after them, given the transitory nature of football. Yes, Terry Cooper did a lot for the club, but enough to have a stand named after him? Ditto Alan Dicks. Let's face it, we don't have that much in our history book to brag about.

WhistleHappy Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 The Tote End? The ultimate slap for 'The Gas' after 'taking' their beloved Tote End so many times in the past would be if we really, finally and permanently 'took the Tote' for good.!

wendyredredrobin Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Alan Dicks must be worthy of a stand though not sure whether to call it the 'Alan Dicks Stand' or simply the 'Dicks Stand' with or without an apostrophe. After all, he did something neither Lansdown nor Atyeo have been able to (yet?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
