St.Ricky 5,275 Report post Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) 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? Edited October 19, 2018 by St.Ricky 2 Isle Of Bute Saint and Meiksyboy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doakes 1,925 Report post Posted October 20, 2018 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 1 St.Ricky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
