To be fair, £1,500 and one lunchtime to look 10 years younger sounds like a bargain

Without a doubt, it should be the Karen Brady stand.
I read in her column that she had a 'lunchtime facelift' and she reckons she looks ten years younger. It only cost her £1,500.
Such an inspiration to women who can afford to blow 15 hundred quid in their lunch hour.
Actually, how about the 'Karen Brady Stadium'?

This old one again you, boring cunts. Won't ever happen for a few reasons...having every stand named after ex-players is just way ott and as said no other club has done it. Having the largest stand named after Hurst and not the other 3 just won't fit right, AND I would imagine they will eventually want a sponsorship deal for the West stand.
Give it a rest, ffs.

Brooking will always be my hero, because he was a magician on the pitch and a gentleman off. Bonds was superb, managing Millwall was a shame, likewise Hurst managing Chelsea. Still no one is perfect Brooking aside.

Well argued, Fog.
I've never particularly warmed to Hurst as a person, but what he did for our club and country was remarkable. (In small football terms.)

Appreciate that no other club has named all their stands after former players, but not many clubs have the heritage and history that we have. City have their Colin Bell stand, Wolves have the Stan Cullis and Billy Wright stands. Leicester have their Lineker Stand. We have something/someone far better than all of those.
Lyall/Greenwood is a decent shout, but Sir Geoff has done something no one else has done and may never be repeated. Pele, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo, Best, Cruyff, Zidane, the best players the World has ever seen - none of them achieved a World Cup hat trick, some got nowhere near a final.
Apart from that he had a 1 in 2 goal ratio for us over 500 games, similar to Lineker and Shearer, played cricket for Essex and was also an England coach.
I just think we have someone very special who we should celebrate and cherish before they are gone. It's not often we can get one over on the big clubs or have something better than them, but here we can. And he was much loved by the crowd at the time. The fact that he played at the same time as Mooro, shouldn't denigrate that he too was a 'great'
After the Bonzo effect last year, which also was well deserved, I just think it gives us back a bit more pride again and is another reminder that top class football actually existed pre-Sky.

Devonshire Stand
Will only mean it's a bit further from the pitch. After, we can all have a cream tea and go rockpoolling in Exmouth.

Is there any ground that has named stands on 4 sides?
I think Old Trafford has Ferguson & Bobby Charlton & two generic names ... West & East ?
Spurs have the West Stand, East Stand, North Stand & South Stand.
Part of the delay in opening was due to coming up with those
