Naming the new stand.

[durhameagle]

Following a pub conversation with my dad today, if this new main stand actually gets built I would love to know which player if any it would be named after. My own suggestion was ‘The Geoff Thomas stand.’ Apologies if this has already been discussed.

I'll put my tin hat on and say The Steve Parrish Stand.

He's done as much for this club as any player and surely deserves something named after him!

Parrish likes his branding, remember the badge fiasco? I think Ian Wright has kyboshed Jim Cannon's chances, the stand-out for me would be Steve Coppell but I somehow can't see that happening. Parrish will get a sponsor and I think the sponsor's name will be a prefix to a name which has a ring of authenticity and traditionalism that will be attention grabbing, trying to create as much interest as possible. Maybe the Joseph Paxton Stand, or something to do with crystal or glazing, maybe the 1861 stand, something which conjures up our uniqueness which has a bit of dazzle to seduce potential support as far and wide as possible. And it wouldn't surprise me if Parrish put out a shortlist for members to vote on like the badge. As for the sponsor I do hope it's Tesco or Morrisons to upset those gits squatting in the Whitehorse Lane End. Aldi or Lidl would be too low class. The Tesco 1861 Stand, how does that sound? Pretty awful, but that's the general way I think the naming of the stand will go.

Will Steve Parish be around in the 22nd Century?

If he wants to see the stand completed he'll be around to sign Buck Rogers.

No relation to Don Rogers. How about the Ron Noades Stand? Or even better The Ron Noades' Wife's Stand.

I’d be happy for Steve Parish’s name to be used - we fans owe him lots!

In which case the Tomas Brolin Stand.

 

[ASCPFC]

The FA Cup 2025 Stand.

It was a toss up between Ruddock and Brolin

It'll be far too posh to sell pies, so that's a no-no

 

[crvenaeagle]

We can paint everything grey and call it "The Bland Stand" and serve Carling and Swede Pies at half time.

I'd like The Great Exhibition Stand (after all, that's the origin of the Crystal Palace) but they'll probably name it The Car Park Stand or The New Old Stand or something ridiculous.
The Glaziers Stand would be a salute to our past though.

 

[Stirlingsays]

Steve Parish or Jim Cannon.....I don't care what Ian Wright thinks about Cannon....Wrighty sees himself as Arsenal first so tough cheese.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Bert Head. The Head Stand.

 

[The Dolphin]

Either the Parish Stand or 2010 Stand.
