So that's who Jürgen Klopp got it from.Just for this... Billy Ayre and his awesome theatrical entrance, then sitting over in front of the Scratching Shed or it's fake name the East Paddock
He hasn’t been here long enough yet, imho. Good start though.Let's bring it right up to date with a modern hero that every supporter knows. The Simon Sadler Stand.
Totally agree.Let's bring it right up to date with a modern hero that every supporter knows. The Simon Sadler Stand.
Harry Johnson standYou’re right 20s l was thinking of Fred Pickering but that’s down to the demographics of this board l suppose, Bretts a good shout as he’s played for us and scored in all four divisions. However, l do think that the younger generation relate more to Charlie from a heroic and legend perspective.
Fair enough. I know they used to be but I've only been in the South since it opened, and the North for one FA Cup reply last seasonIt's on the season ticket cards and match day tickets
Same initials as scratching sheds it’s meant to beHe hasn’t been here long enough yet, imho. Good start though.
I think he did alright out of us, between he and Owen albeit with far better intentions. 62 million of the queens English pounds left our football club. He was instrumental in the demise of The Os and I am forever thankful for that but I wouldn’t want a stand naming after him.Belokon?
Without him no Prem & we wouldn't be where we are now.
Probably no club with covid under the scum?
A plumber, how dare you call one of the greatest players this country has ever produced. Just like your Sir Stanley Mathews, Sir Tom Finney will forever be held inthe highest regard. Hang your head in shame, tosser.While we debate whether to name a stand after a world cup winner, an inspirational manager, the king or a player that's scored in every division for us, we also have stands named after the only scorer of a hat trick in a fa cup final, the 1st footballing knight and ballon d'or winner and a world cup winner and 1 club man.
Meanwhile down the road the Nobbers name their stands after a plumber, the manager of another famous club, Lorraine Kelly's dad and a team that won something before dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Thank God I'm a Blackpool fan
Was he or was he not nicknamed the Preston PLUMBER.A plumber, how dare you call one of the greatest players this country has ever produced. Just like your Sir Stanley Mathews, Sir Tom Finney will forever be held inthe highest regard. Hang your head in shame, tosser.
W ankerWas he or was he not nicknamed the Preston PLUMBER.

Crawl back off to your bus station you 4 post legendW anker

Now now, just show a little respect as I respect Sir Stan.Well you can have a lay in then.
NOBBER ALERT, not in a good way like Giro either
Goodnight mate. Hope we meet soon when we get our Derby back regardless of what division we are in.I have said nothing factually wrong in my statement regarding the Preston plumber, it's you that got the hump.
Nite nite
.... orMaybe 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.

Way out of order,Was he or was he not nicknamed the Preston PLUMBER.
Now go fuck yourself
Because he started calling me out.Way out of order,
Why do we always stoop to this level?
On a good thread like this as well.
I'm pretty sure that younger Wolves fans wouldn't know Billy WrightThe problem with this thread is there are a lot of names that youngsters won't know and I'd say that we need too start bringing the club a bit more up to date. In recognition of the fact that he scored in all four divisions and is still very much a part of Blackpool these days, I would go for the Brett Ormerod stand.
I agree with you on the Billy Ayre comment, as much as he's a fan favourite - I think it'd be a bit of a discredit to some of our legends who achieved more than a promotion from the 4th division. Not taking anything away from that but Brett is a better shout for a modern legend, scored in all 4 divisions for the club and put us in the Premier League (although my vote is for Joe Smith).I'm pretty sure that younger Wolves fans wouldn't know Billy Wright
The same with young Leeds fans and Billy Bremner.
You'll find that most, if not all statues and naming parts of a stadia are attributed to players that have attained something significant in their history of the club.
I love Billy Ayre as much as the next Pool fan but a 4th division playoff win as opposed to winning the world cup winners medal?
If it's having facilities in it, we could have the Muggers Megastore, Clarke cloakroom, Worthington winebar, Braveheart buffet. (Or 'Colin's concourse' plus the Larry (mk2) lounge.... or
A shite manager.... how about The Graham Carr Stand? We could celebrate the fact that his dubious short spell at the helm at least opened the door for Billy Ayre!
