glastonred Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Where's the option for "If he wants it"? The stadium naming rights will be sold, have no doubt about that. Our best hope there is that someone appropriate buys them ("The Blackthorn Stadium", anyone?) I think that whatever irrelevant commercial name the stadium officially goes under, we, the fans, should always refer to it as 'Ashton Vale'. I have a friend who is a Bradford City supporter, and their fans would never dream of referring to their ground as the 'Coral Windows Stadium'. It'll always be 'Valley Parade' to them. We should absolutely refuse to kowtow to commercialism, and maintain the 'Ashton' connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Home stand. And with the greatest respect the council should honour Steve with naming the street leading to the stadium to his honour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Belgrave Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think it would be entirely appropriate to name a stand after the outgoing chairman- with his permission, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lewis Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 How about some names we wouldn't want stands named after? "The George Ferguson Stand" "The Ian Holloway Stand" The dog poo view stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do we say enough is enough?? Once people stop paying for Sky Sports and financing football becomes sensible again. Possibly never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red colin Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well if the club are going down the naming rights road for the stadium and SL is now the main investor it would make sense to call it after him rather than a packet of crisps or an airline, or The mcdonalds Ashton vale stadium is just nasty, just do what reading did, The madejski, with us The Lansdown. The inner stands, rooms and roads can then be plastered by former players and chairman's names as it is now. I think It sounds good to say bristol city play at THE LANSDOWN or THE LANSDOWN ARENA ..... man utd are away at the lansdown saturday yep that sounds ok to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I quite like the name Ashton Vale. I also think the 4 stands should stay as they are, especially the Atyeo and the Dolman. The Lansdown Otter Sanctum has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Is it possible to have stands with the same names at Ashton Vale? Apart from Lansdown, whole else would you want the stands named after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
