churchill ciderhead Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 What are your thoughts?The new stand being named after Mr. Landsdown. He's done a great job at City, and if he bought the new stand himself, he would have every right to have his name on the stand! (E.G. Dolman)If I had the money, I would certainly do it! All I can afford is one brick!I think the stand should be built ASAP! It will go up and up in cost, the longer we wait. Also if crouds keep increasing, its better to get it done now not later!

churchill ciderhead Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 How about the Micky Bell End? You obviously did'nt know Micky Bell does not have the massive millions that Mr. Lansdown has!Mr. Lansdown has done 1 million times more for this club than you have!!!!!Mr. Lansdown has made mistakes like anybody. But I don't see anybody else coming forward and putting the time and his own money in that he has!He promised us CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL. He has given us it again!

Jody Mortimer Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 i vote to keep it as the East End. i remember going in there when it was terraced, sitting on my old mans shoulders before we moved to the Open End and got wet alot.

Rob_BCFC Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'd rather keep it as the Wedlock Stand. Players like Billy Wedlock and John Atyeo deserve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

churchill ciderhead Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 wooshAll I am saying is if he spent his money on it it would rightfully be the Landsdown End.If you wanted to add Wedlock or Some old hero then add to the end of the name.Everybody wants him to put his multi millions into the club, but then are the first people to put him down.Lets stay as we are and Mr. Landsdown can keep his money to himself. we will then go no further.You cannot expect somebody to put their money into the club and get no respect for it!

Certinaly not because he loves the club and it's his passion, to see the club be succesful is his only reward!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much has he loaned the club that eventually he will get back.The EE to me will always be known as the EE but I would like it to be officially called the East End Wedlock Stand or something similar.

Meh Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Why not call it the "give the advantage to the opposition end" as surely that is what Lansdown and Sextone want?Why else would they stop City fans buying tickets in the loudest part of the ground?Oh yeah, cos a couple of 16 year olds gestured to each other. That'll be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yeah Lansdown has done a lot for us but how can we surpass those who have represented the club for the national team? I want it to be called the Billy Wedlock stand, especially as the pub is set to be bulldozed. It would be a fitting homeage for many years to come IMO and if SL guides us to the Premiership then he can lay claim to the naming rights for the new Williams Stand.
