what should they call the 4 stands at Falmer?

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Stand up if you hate Palace Stand.
Stand up if you hate LDC Stand.
Stand up if you hate Archer Stand.
Stand up if you hate Bellotti Stand.

Now that would upset the stewards.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Perhaps sponsored by One ?

very good Titanic...

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Goldstone End
Bamber stand
Knight stand
North Stand

Bellotti Bogs

Would be my choice.

I was thinking that we could still honour the greats of the past or key people from the past at this club, like Charlie Webb or Peter Ward etc.., but not necessarily by naming stands after them, but in another way, such as statues / montage on a wall leading to the stadium?
This way they are still rightly remembered, but it gives the club the chance to make money from selling the naming rights for the stands

Goldstone
Knight
Fans United (Visitors)
North

If the investment goes well,

The Goldstands.

I'll second the Goldstone End, behind one goal, unallocated seating. That's where I'd buy my season ticket.

Then the Reinelt Stand
The Gritt Stand (can't believe he hasn't got a mention)

Then sell the last one to the highest bidder to recoup some of the cash pumped into the place. This sort of thing is inevitable anyway...

 

[SeagullTim]

I definately like the Goldstone End and one should be after DK as well.

Inspired by our neighbours:

The Ivory Tower Stand
The Hanged Peasant Stand
The Falmer Parish Church Sharia Law Stand
The Student Grant Stand

Seriously though, what about the following,
John Jackson Stand (Founder of Brighton and Hove Albion
Charles Webb (player and manager with longest tenure, also scored the goal to win the Charity shield)
Mike Bamber Stand (Goes without saying, Chairman who brought Clough to the Albion and kick started the glory years of 76 to 83)
Alan Mullery Stand ( Manager through most of the glory years)

Dick Knight will deserve some recognition but surely there will be hospitality suites etc where he could have his name along with some of the best players, eg McNichol from the 50s, The Wilson Suite in recognition of Glen and Joe long contribution to the club. The Ward Suite for obvious reasons.

In addition, the club should then add the sponsor for the naming rights etc.

On a lighter note, the Belloti suite could be the urinals and the Archer suite the ladies loo.

Quite like these ideas.



However, I'd personally plump for:

The Goldstone End (nearest stand pointing to Hove...if it's behind one of the goals).

Knight & Perry Stand

Downs End (nearest to the open downland?)

The Mike Bamber Stand



Hospitality suites named after Jackson, Webb, Wardy, Mullers etc.

Naming rights can go as they will (a necessary evil) but the above should be the official names and incorporated somewhere into the 'branded stands'.

e.g "The Knight & Perry Stand - sponsored by Harveys"
or "The Legal & General / Mike Bamber Stand"


(Think we should forget the North Stand idea...geographically inaccurate due to angle of stadium to compass and for a brand new set-up it is, quite frankly, a bit bland and unoriginal (The Goldstone End is an idea I had in my head for some time and already seems to be a popular suggestion on here...looks like it's a definate goer!)

Not for those with Downs Syndrome, I hope. That's just plain elitist

 

[dougdeep]

When I win millions and invest in the stadium, one part will be called The Deep End.

 

[herbicide]

The Liberace Stand/ The Dale Winton End/ The Tatchell Terrace/ The Marc Almond Stand.

Toilets - Eltons John

 

[Grendel]

I really don't give a shit what the stands are called.

However, "naming" the toilets is probably the wankest idea connected to the new stadium that I have heard so far.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

North Stand- Dick Knight Stand

South Stand- The Grand Stand

East Stand- Peter Ward Stand

West Stand- Jimmy Melia Stand
