Naming of Stands

What should they be called?

East Stand = Tiler/Agnew Stand

what abart rest?

 

North Stand - Ashley Ward End. It was his transfer fee that paid for it.

 

Reckon we should name one after Norman Rimmington

 

The Tommy Taylor Stand

Has to be.

 

Why not name it after a real legnd of the club.
My shout for best player in my lifetime - Mick McCarthy

 

Well BRF

I've been to alot of away grounds in my life and increasingly they all honour their heroes.

We don't

There's summat wrong here, as we are quite emotional / proud fellas that would like this???

 

RE: Well BRF

We really should. People don't realise how good Tommy Taylor was - one of the genuine all time great English strikers. He was awesome for us, had a much better strike rate for Man U that Dennis Law (in fact his strike rate was better than most strikers - including Jimmy Greaves and Geoff Hurst) and his goal to game tally for England was better than anyone full stop. The tragedy of his death is not remembered properly at all. We have one lousey plaque on the wall for him when he should have a statue or a stand at least.

When I look at what other clubs have done for their greats, it pisses me off actually.

 

Correct BRF

It's something that's been at the back of mind for a while now.

Surely there's not a club in the Prem/Champ without a stand named after a past hero, except us????

BT

 

Ponty End - Ponty End
East Stand - Brewery Stand
West Stand - Tiverton Preedy Stand
North Stand - Named after an ex-player voted for by the fans

 

Heh Heh Traditionalist

PM me got an idea

 

North Stand - Winstanley Stand

Big Winnie - Captain, Coach, Manager (temporary) in his association with Barnsley FC.

 

Johnie Steele stand? nt

 

Patrick Cryne Stand

After all, he saved our club from extinction.

 

RE: Correct BRF

Have any of the top clubs got stands named after players?

 

surley the ponty should be the ronnie galvin stand? also i think there should be an eric winstanly stand

 

Tiverton Preedy Stand Surely? nt

 

RE: Patrick Cryne Stand

We should have a Peter Doyle stand as well then.

 

There's enough individuals to choose from in order to do so eg :-
Reverend Preedy
Harry Tuffnell
Johnny Steele
Danny Blanchflower
Tommy Taylor
Arthur Kaye
Eric Winstanley
Barry Murphy
Ronnie Glavin
The older, traditional names (Ponty End/Brewery Stand/Spion Kop) for me represent the old, terraced Oakwell, not the stadium we have in the 21st Century.
If I was given the choice, I'd pick out Reverend Tiverton Preedy, Johnny Steele, Tommy Taylor & Ronnie Glavin as the names for the four stands.
Just my opinion.

 

what the **** stirrer stand? so rumour has it.

 

********.
