Naming of Stands

Chirpy RedChirpy Red
edited March 2007 in General Charlton
Apparently the South Stand is known as the Jimmy Seed Stand in some quarters ;-), but seriously isn't it about time we considered naming the two biggest stands, replacing the somewhat unimaginative titles The East Stand and The West Stand?

The Derek Hales Stand, The Alan Curbishley Stand etc...
Or if things carry on as they are, just rename the whole place the Pardew Valley!

Anyone have any suggestions?

    I think the Bill Gates stand and the Duke of Westminster Stand sound good.

    We could name a certain North Stand food bar the "Derek Hales Burger Bar" - there's so many hairs in their food.

    Curbishley Stand is weird - can't see us doing it while he is at WH.

    Bartram, Mendonca, Kinsella, Hales, Peacock, Rufus, Leary, Firmani, Curbs, Lawrence could have a shout for having their names posted on something among others.

    i honestly don't think there has been anyone worthy enough of having a stand named after them, to be honest. Curbishley maybe in time, had he not gone for the Hamsters job (not that i blame him), but looking back in history, the only two people i think are worthy, Seed and Bartram, have both been recognised.

    Hales does deserve something for being the record goal scorer, but it should be on a smaller scale and Covered End related, while long term wise, Paddy and Keith P maybe deserve some recognition for their long-service.

    I'm sure at some time a stand will be named after Curb's- but not whilst he is actively working in Football.

    Cue a Len post nominating Kish. ;-)

    had a conversation with another director in the pub about this. He doesn't like JSS as he's against "personalising the history of the club" which is valid view point even if a disagree.

    Names should only be people who are long retired or dead or both. Sam Bartram would be obvious and Lennie but all the others are too soon or not appropriate.

    What about the: Football Stand in the East/Football Stand in the West/North Stand/South Stand? That should prevent anyone from getting lost - although fans might need to bring a compass on match days.

    i agree a bit on the personalising the history bit.

    But i also do not think we've made the most of our history, particularly the rags to riches rise in the last 20 years.

    How about the 'we pay more for our season ticket than the north stand' stand. I Jest.

    Perhaps the contribution of Varney and Murray should be rewarded??

    How about naming some of the toilets (or other appropriate colloquialism) after past players, managers etc :-

    Mullery - Konchesky - Pitcher - there are loads to choose from! Suggestions?

    Apologies for lowering the tone DJDD!

    Well we have a Supporters Director so why not call it the 'Supporters Stand' ?

    Maybe for Richard Murray in future years when he isn't the Chairman anymore, but it won't happen.

    How about getting Network Rail to sponsor them and save money at the same time by calling one The North Woolwich Stand, one The Maidstone East Stand and the other The Bromley South Stand?

    I'll get my coat
