Should the supporters bar be called Dick's Bar?

Never mind all that, will they serve perry?

Not if Ernest is moonlighting behind the bar.

 

[Rich Suvner]

In your case, sweet cheeks, I'll settle for 'embarrassed'. Your phrase.

Of course, you're free to write to Dick and ask him to change his choice of bar name.

you can kiss my sweet cheeks - bored now

A nice set up there, THPP. I couldn't miss!

Indeed BoF. Even Smith would have scored

Dick Knight is responsible for ensuring the Supporters' Bar was created. He was asked to come up with a name. He did.

That's good enough for me.

this! the man will be always be remembered in bha folklore, and if he says 'dicks', then 'dicks' it is!

And when its party time is it:

Ooohh Hokey Kokey Kokey

[Bold Seagull]

does anyone know which Cocktails Dick's will be serving?

 

[Braders]

He can't help it if his name is Dick. Blame his parents!

who named him Harry Richard Knight..

 

[Titus]

Isn't his real name Harry or something?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

The long and the short of it is it's called Dick's and that's that.

 

[Gangsta]

How about calling it the Blue Oyster Club?

 

[Braders]

dammit , an opportunity missed

 

[hitony]

Oh. My. Word. People actually have a problem with it? I thought that was just some sort of elaborate joke.

Dick's bar it is, I don't give a shit what it's called.

I have read this far in the thread, and the above will do for me

Let's think, who should we care more about? The man who almost single handedly saved our club, or a few spotty oiks sniggering in the away end at a frankly rather pathetic attempt to generate sexual innuendo?

I couldn't give a flying f*** if anyone outside the club (or inside for that matter) wants to have a go at the name of the bar - it's called Dick's bar and that is that. The most embarassing thing about the whole episode is that some of the club's own supporters can be so disrespectful in moaning and complaining about it.

Where would you rather be? The BSP? Or watching Crawley because that's the only club left in Sussex?

 

[DTES]

"Dear Mr Knight, I know you saved the club and all that, but your name sounds gay so we'd rather not use it as a name for the bar"

Put me down for someone who doesn't think it's a particuarly good name, but certainly isn't bothered enough to want it changed. If you were going for the humour, 'Blue Oyster Bar' is much funnier.

I do find it hard to believe that Knight, who has worked in advertising, wouldn't realise how it would be seen by some. All the people I know in advertising spend their whole day cracking crap knob gags.

I'd rather his name was on a bar than a stand anyway, which is the height of vanity for chairmen, past or present. 'Dick's Stand' would arguably have been worse, for various reasons.

 

[Soul Finger]

What a disappointing thread.

Enjoyed a few lunches at Dick's recently and it's a cracking little spot.

What's in a name?

I'm glad I'm not an Arsenal fan.
