Naming the Stands

[St.Ricky 8,253]

A number of clubs allocate the names of past players or managers to one or more stands in their ground.  If we did,  might we have the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand?  In the days of Ground Sponsorship this would keep links with the history of the club alive.  Thoughts?  Foolish?  Worth thinking about? Who would you nominate?

Fergie - No chance

He brought his MONEYSPINNING Man Utd Team up to play many Scottish Clubs that he had a connection with and to others that he didn't.

NEVER SEEN MAN UTD AT LOVE STREET OR GREENHILL ROAD.

There is plenty.

We have many legends in our Clubs lifetime , players, directors, staff and fans . We could change the name of the Stands every Season.

Start off with the 4 Cup Winning Captains.

That's not the worst suggestion actually and fairly unique I think.

And we can fill in a corner and name it each time we win a major trophy.

Yes I like it too.....and it would fit perfectly with the already named 1877 club.

Westy McWestyface Stand

[Doakes 2,983]

I'd like to see us approach airlines that fly out of Glasgow airport. Could have the Emirates stand, the Easyjet stand and the British Airways stand. Nothing visible inside the ground, but would make us some extra cash for a player or 2 - and make our ground more eye catching, huge amount of people flying over it on a daily basis. Could even have it lit up at night

Would name them after anyone or company who are prepared to spend big bucks for the honour, with exception obviously.

Some airlines could use it for recruiting pilots.
