lets all just hope that said councillors decide to sell their stake in the stadium so that we can at least own part of it

I can only assume that the last post was tongue in cheek - the Adrian Morley and Andy Gregory stands?!

The Lance Todd stadium

well it make one poster happy ([sizefor once[/size)

It's already been unofficially dubbed the Gus Risman Stadium. Job done on that front.

As for naming the stands, nothing daft and gimmicky and no naming stands after people. Let's do it in the traditional way.

Main Stand (The Willows Main Stand, maybe?)
Peel Green End
River End (River Irwell End?)
Barton Stand / Motorway Side


This is, of course, all hypothetical...

I couldn't give one TBH :-
The important matter is the deal is concluded for the Club , our debts are paid , and I can carry one supporting the Reds this season.
We don't know what type of deal is being negociated for the Stadium & surrounding development , outright ownership or an element of shared ownership with one or both parties?
The only thing that matters is that it is successful & doesn't derail the whole deal.

If that happens , our Club is saved & we have a stake in the property to boot . he can damn well re-name everything down to the kiosks & the toilets with my blessing

The Lance Todd arena sounds bloody brilliant to me since we still have the Lance Todd trophy rl fans will know exactly where that comes from so it's not too far in the past.
I have to disagree wroth GT tho........I like the ideas of making the stands after someone of note. Wigan have got the Boston stand and I think thats great. They would need to catchy tho and not long winded.
I agree with middleman tho...the most important thing is the deal done!!!!!
