And they're all house, lacking in originality as well.

That looks great, it would be fantastic in the stadium.
With regards to the naming of a stand, I think it should be named after Billy Boston or Shaun Edwards. Primarily because I think these names are banded about more than the greats such as Eric Ashton, Jim Sullivan and even possibly Ellery Hanley and therefore I feel that the younger generation would be more familiar with the name of Boston or Edwards.
Many Latics fans stuck two fingers up and laughed when we had to change venue last year and go to Widnes. Well here's two fingers right back at Latics and a good giggle too.

Any suggestions as what slogan I can put on? Initial thoughts include 'Boston and 8 in a row' 'More than a club' 'We are THE club' or just plain 'Billy'
'"
'On the 8th day, God created.......Boston'

| Nothing to do with my 'issues' regarding King Billy but I'd be inclined to name it after Edwards. He's a Wigan Lad and more decorated than any other Wigan player. It may persuade him to 'come home' too.

| Or possibly an even better solution would be 'The Wigan Rugby Legends' stand, or words to that effect.
Whilst also having a plaque situated somewhere in the stand with a list of the club's most prestigious players, coachers and overall personnel. As there are many deserving people who have contributed to the success of our club.
I never think for a million years Whelan would do this but it seems like a sensible idea.

Well if someone can come up with a better song than "ancient and loyal upon my chest" with an origanal tune, what nobody else sings, I will show my @rse in the grand arcade.

| Chance to tempt Edwards back by naming a stand after him?
