Of course. It's a no-brainer. Dick Knight delivered us from the axis of Archer/Bellotti evil and then delivered us the planning permission for Falmer after long long years that would have broken a lesser man. Anybody with money could have then delivered us the stadium. No disrespect whatsoever intended to Tony Bloom, who has done magnificently and is a genuine Albion Hero, but it was Dick Knight who did the hard thankless graft that made it possible. As the poll results rightly acknowledge.
This is undoubtedly correct, but I still don't think naming a stand after him is the way forward. I would support a statue or something similar, but not a stand. I think "Dicks Bar" is a little tacky personally, and I'm sure there are better ways of remembering him
