Future history may dictate the naming of a stand. If Hughton really did bring us success and was here long term to help build the club on all levels, that would be worthy of a Hughton Stand.

I've been going since 1987 and have NEVER seen him before... does anyone on here know him? Has anyone seen him?! Or is it just me?

You'd have thought someone as distinctive as that and with such a legendary nickname would be absolute LORE and a GOD amongst us mere mortals...

Back on topic I'd like to see us expand our American sponsorship opportunities. If Amex would let us we could have the Pacific Bell End, continuing our fine tradition of not taking ourselves too seriously and cocking a snook at the general Football establishment.

I thought it was just me. I've never seem him, home or away.

I've been watching them since 1995.

I've never seen him either.

I've seen him – I was on the bus leaving the Amex a couple of seasons ago when I clocked him in the road. But I only remember him because he's the spitting image (face, build, beard – everything) of a guy I used to work with. Even a similar hat. Until that point I thought there was only ONE guy brave enough to pull that look off.

Live on the same road as him so I see him most days. Lovely chap. Think he sits at very back of N1B sort of area.

All sightings in the Amex era. It's fake news I tell thee...

Nope never seen the Wizard before either and been going since 1980. Back on topic though the "Gary Hart Set of Tracksuits Stand" has a lovely ring to it.

I think every ground should be forced to retain North, South, East, and West Stands. Then you know where you STAND

Here's a picture of him dressed as a bloody wizard at the Bristol game that concluded last season.

Not sure if it has been mentioned on here before and apologies if it has , but with our new found status in the PL and the club looking to maximise commercial deals , how long will it bear before we start naming individual stands ?

TB ruled this out at Bristol FF last November. Says it has been discussed and rejected by Board.
