Goggles & Flippers Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Well Society brought it up in a recent newsletter. I think it is so all 4 stands commemorate someone/thing associated with the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelmaninOZ Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 There will be a few ex players to choose from. May I suggest Joe Wark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Ian St John is the obvious one to me. Other contenders Joe Wark, Willie Pettigrew, Charlie Aitken, Bobby Ancell. This is why I don't like naming stands after players, as there are too many quality candidates who miss out. I'd be OK if they renamed it The Away Stand.

bobbybingo Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Since it's predominantly Old Firm fans who are in it, the Cannae Fuckin Stand. Celtic won't be happy, but apparently Rangers don't care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I asked ages ago about why George Stevenson hadn't had this kind of recognition. Somebody said there was something named after him, but I can't remember what. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd have preferred the Hunter Stand to be the Joe Wark stand purely because I spent years on the Terrace there watching him crunch a few tackles and bomb up and down that wing a few feet away.

Kmcalpin Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Not really in favour of naming stands after ex players. What happens after all 4 have been named? Anyway, players like Ferguson, McFadyen and Stevenson must be top candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
