pillred Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Fuber said: Is it going to happen? Seems ages now we've been sat just calling it the south stand, so my question would be - who would or should it be named for? Personally, while the great man is still with us and for many more years to come, I'd support naming it the Alan Dicks Stand. Unless, of course, Alan would be to embarresed to perhaps have the entire stand name after him, maybe Gerry Gow? The Dicks stand are you sure?

Maybe make the seats in the top tier purple...with a couple of white ones dotted around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then rename the current Atyeo the Dicks Stand. We then have an away end with the word "Dicks" written on it in 10ft tall letters. Combine the two ideas and have "Johnsons and Dicks" above them.

wendyredredrobin Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Wouldn't we make money from sponsoring the stands by bookmakers, tobacco companies and alcohol manufacturers? I suppose that is no longer allowed. I've always liked the idea of a Dicks Stand though. Perhaps it could be named after Mark Little and Alan Dicks.

YorksRed Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 5 hours ago, Curr Avon said: Why not name it after our most successful manager? His City team's finished second in the top tier, were FA Cup runner's up and still own a joint record for the most consecutive wins during a season in the Football LEAGUE, with 14. Step forward Harry Thickitt. I thought it odd the Bristol Post referring to Steve Cotterall as City’s most successful Manager today. Would have suggested they looked up Alan Dicks or Harry Thickett.

Curr Avon Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 7 hours ago, Phileas Fogg said: Nice idea but I think it would be a bit hollow as I doubt anyone who attends games was alive during that era and there's hardly any footage so people can't relate to it. That's the best reason for commemorating Harry's achievements. They're unlikely to be surpassed for some time, if ever. Fans of all ages should hear about them and what better way of honouring our greatest manager, to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Gow, much as I appreciate his service, isn't appropriate, just another player to be honest - many more deserving imo. And I'm pretty sure that Carey won't get any recognition from the current regime. Atyeo at one end and Wedlock at the other. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I believe that no naming of stands for a while. Then the next one could be one of the Bristol Rugby greats. I know that will upset some City fans but it is now their home stadium, they are pulling in some impressive attendances and their history of local Bristol boys who became international players when playing for them is impressive.
