KeepUpLino Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Baton? Seriously, I think you're right. Louis deserves it. Any man who suggests merging with the Gas should not have a stand named after him in my opinion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wedlock Stand. East End will still be unofficially. No Stands should be named after Lansdown during his lifetime or at very least tenure at the club, that's my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 its time to have a bloody shave! ... no offence LC Actually makes him look like a footballer from a bygone era so may actually be more suitable in some ways for a picture in a mural.

WhistleHappy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bristol City Council held a contest to decide on the new name for the re-vamped M Shed on the docks. The resulting new name? "M Shed" !I seem to recall Bristol City Council forked out shed loads of our council tax money on paying some consultancy type company from oop north (Manchester/Liverpool?) to come up with that genius name. I know Tens Of Thousands of pounds was spent on that little exercise... Obviously no one in our fair City could be trusted with the intelligence to come up with a suitable name for our Bristol Industrial Museum. If that money was distributed between the city's hard-up primary schools for participating in a fun naming competition the kids would've had knowledge of the place a feeling of being part of it etc, had fun making suggestions and at the very least come up with something just as ' brilliant ' as the professional corporate entity hundreds of miles away with no connection to our city. Virtute et Industria ..indeed. I'm sticking with Buster Footman as a name for our new stand (a non-playing legend and popular character throughout years if service at Ashton Gate... Away from the Club he went on to raise Thousands of pounds for charity, a BCFC legend & a Bristol legend, deserves recognition - BUSTER FOOTMAN STAND for me.

WhistleHappy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Might be a good idea to have an OTIB Poll on this subject... Nominate suggested names for the new stand and vote on 'em.. ? (pity the City Council didn't turn to us when looking for the Industrial Museum name, an OTIB poll would've come up with a great name for free. M Shed wow.)

I think it will be some kind of sponser name Stand/End, Its about maximising money we can get with FFP etc, So say we name it The Beryl Fudge Stand sponsered by Butcombes or something, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finbarr_in_z Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Never been keen on the East End name. Always thought it sounded like it belonged on a London ground It were the Covered End when I were a nipper. Anyway, back on subject. I notice that a precident has been set on physio / kitman naming of stands - Derby have the Gordon Guthrie stand. Ergo, we'll go one better with the Buster Footman stand (even though it sounds like an insurance company). Naming rights by a sponsor will bu99er it all up anyway.

Guest Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Because Ashton gate is on an angle and parts of that stand was in the south and parts east (Dolman / East end corner points east) Where the parkenders used to have their flag is North... That Dolman / EE corner used so bend round with terracing so where the old mural was located is East and some fans named it the East end due to saying i'll meet you the East side of that stand (no mobile phones back then) so it was a fans nick name.. So from your picture, are you saying we should call it the NEWStand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanjita Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Baton? Seriously, I think you're right. Louis deserves it. Whilst Carey was a great player for this club he will always be behind John Atyeo in the "great " standings. Just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think lansdown is too humble to have a stand named after him. Although, jokes aside, it should definitely be named after him given it is him who has got us to where we are and will get us further over the next few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
