For which he gets my full gratitude.. I am amazed he hasn’t named any to promote his own business interests of which Boro is a part, e.g Bulkhaul. Anything that benefits him benefits Boro after all.
Reduce the North Stand prices to 5p and call it the bob end
You'd end up with the Stockton stand fighting the Redcar end!No need to reduce the price; we'll just name it after Bob.
I don't mind the Steve Gibson stand; some lasting acknowledgement of his contribution is required.
Otherwise, I'm not in favour of naming after people. I'd prefer to name them after parts of Teesside.
we shouldn't name any of the stands after a living person, but it's pretty bland naming them after compass points. We don't have to name them all in one go. Start with "The Greggs Camsell Corner", top goalscorer in our clubs history and I think top international scorer as a Boro player and there is zilch, zip, nada to commemorate him.There was a rumour eons ago that Gibson doesn't want a stand named after him but he knows that's what fans would vote for, so he's sticking with N/S/E/W.
that is key. For me the stands get named, and until there is a significant upgrade to the stand it stays with that name. Or we state that for the next 20 years it will be known as the "xxxxx stand"The problem (for me) with certain past managers and players having their names used is they may have no connection to the current ground and at what future point do you consider a refresh?
If I see rossi at the weekend I'll let him know that your his biggest fanVidmar was not too bad , now Colin Ross ......

He wasn't the best, was heme and 20,000 others at Ayresome
we were used to Souness who left in 78 ,then Proctor and Craig Johnston ..... then along came Rossi and Bobby Thomson in 1980 , just looked out of his depth although he did make 30 odd games a couple of years with us .... think they were mostly in Murdochs reign in 81... bad timesHe wasn't the best, was he
I think it was mainly just Ali Brownlee who liked to call it thatI thought during the 2000’s quite a few people called the north stand the New Holgate End? Seems to have died out following relegation
I know colin well, hes not a bad lad and I think he would be the first to admit he was no midfield maestro but you are correct we were spoilt with the likes of souness, Proctor and Johnston .we were used to Souness who left in 78 ,then Proctor and Craig Johnston ..... then along came Rossi and Bobby Thomson in 1980 , just looked out of his depth although he did make 30 odd games a couple of years with us .... think they were mostly in Murdochs reign in 81... bad times
