Micra Wedlock stand

[Guest leepeacock's50phead]

Just seen it is open for the Brentford game, and apparently it is 'affectionately known as the East End'

Didnt it used to be called the East End before the club whored it to the highest bidder?

Whats the point in naming stands anyway, It can't be cheap and no-one really takes any notice.

Anyway, gotta go, off to buy a car, don't know why but Nissan is calling my name

[Dan Of The Dolman]

neither do I as it not named after the car

I think the club referred to it as the covered end before it was confusingly misnamed after a local pub.

The desire to honour Billy Wedlock rather than acknowledge the name the fans gave to their own stand is simply wrong.

Imagine the kop being renamed the shankley mars stand.

Billy wedlock was already honoured.

What is it then?

And why they spending money on sponsoring what is 'affectionately' known as the East End when someone like me gets the company confused with a car?!

Micra is a local construction company.

It's the east end.

It always will be, even when they tear it down and replace it with some identikit crap all seating affair.

Ok it might have a bar and a coupel of tellies in it.

Replacing terracing with all seater stadia is wrong.

Sometimes I think us city fans are similar to the A Team i.e punished for crimes we did not commit.

We lost our terrace for reasons not applicable to our club.

All seater stadiums do not work, last night was a prime example.

Any way lets make a gun that fires cabbages and shoot the sports minister richard caborn.

Top analogy, bagsy being The Face so I get all the crumpet, don't wanna be Mr T, don't do bling or vests!!!

Seriously though it is a debate that needs seriously addressing, lets just hope that the cynical cannabis kid from the new warm and fluffy Tory party, Mr Dave 'down with the small folks' Cameron, doesn't cause it to become a laughing stock.
