Ridiculous idea. Why have a permanent stand with his name. He is consigned to history. Move on.I know people are coming up with names from a long time ago. No-one has mentioned Tony Green, many peoples of a certain age favourite player. A hero, a legend for so many and committed himself to the town locally once injury cut short his career.
Maybe we could have a stand named after a crap player so we don't get above ourselves.
We've got a grand history but we've also been rubbish a lot, so if we've got an Armfield and Matthews and Mortenson we could also have a Chris Malkin Stand with a Tony Diamond concourse and Ben Dixon Bar. Udo Onware Executive boxes and so on.
Then the people who go to the match and just mutter 'he's shite' and 'rubbish, get him off' could feel right at home.

I love that ideaWhat about The Raikes Hall Stand. As there is so much disagreement over names. Would have been Suddick for me otherwise.
I've put this up before but I'd reserve naming honours for the four stands, with a statue of each individual at one of each of the four corners.What about each block named after a player, Say there were six blocks for example we could surely come up with six legends.
It's on the season ticket cards and match day ticketsDo the North and West stands still have Morty and Matthews names on them anywhere? Do the club officially still use their names EG the Matthews West stand?
I ask as nobody refers to them as the Morty or Matthews stands and I cant remember seeing their names on since the Pricebusters Matthews stand, which was an absolute disgrace
That's brilliant!Maybe we could have a stand named after a crap player so we don't get above ourselves.
