North Stand Construction Discussion

[foggy1974]

At Maine Road we had the Kippax and then they built the New Kippax so this would be the New New Kippax!

Sounds like the former Nfl player

That’s a matter of opinion. I don’t think naming the 3 other stands, if that ever happens, devalues the Colin Bell stand, or Colin Bell himself. I wouldn’t think anything less of Colin Bell, if for example, the expanded North stand was called a different name or called the Sergio Agüero stand. Unfortunately I never had the privilege of seeing Colin Bell play or the other great City players in that wonderful and famous City team.

Each to their own as you say but not for me it's not even a new stand just an extention, perhaps compromise and call it something like the North Wall which is more in line with what we hope the atmosphere it generates!

It is an extension. But, for the first time since we moved to the City of Manchester stadium, and now the Etihad, we will have a proper home and vocal end. Not sharing an end with the away fans over 3 levels. No having to vacate level 3 for domestic cup games. I can only speak for myself, but I'd like our home end to be something about us, the club, the fans, our support, where we live, our history, etc. There's nothing wrong with the current name, the North stand, as stand names go, but I'd like something more fitting for our new home end. A stand name we can all relate to, be proud of, belong to, and which brings back happy memories, which there are plenty of, and to come.

St marks end or the Gorton End, relevant to the creation of the club. Nothing more simple than that.

We could call it the Yellow Wall, or has that been trademarked?

The North Stand.

It's The Centurions...

Bottom is the Little Stand top is the Large Stand. All tourists will have to explain what it means before entry.

There's still 3 years until the stand is constructed. 3 years of hope to change that ....(fill in as appropriate) name and the image it conjures up.. :-)

Is it either?

I’ve been reading all my life how it’s the nickname of Manchester City but can’t actually recall any fan using it to describe the club, the team or themselves, ever.

Citizens is and always has been the official nickname of Manchester City. It was quite common when I was growing up. The use of Cityzens is a poor play on the word. I had this scarf in the 70s.

 

[There is a Light]

100% I hate Cityzens - absolute modern football commercial nonsense, up there with that Shark team rubbish from a few years back

Unless it’s called The Kippax then any other name will probably get either shortened or given a nickname……I’m voting for this!

Do we play in yellow, now?

 

[bluemurray]

I always wanted a stand named the 'Swift-Truatmann'. The club did say it would honour Bert when he died and I can't see how they have as yet and maybe tip a wink to a past half of our current 'fans' will probably never have heard of!

To be honest I'm barely old enough to remember them and I had to Google to make sure neither had been Operation Yewtreed (they hadn't), but there's something hilariously old school about it that I couldn't resist.

 

[willipp]

The longer this debate goes on the more obvious it is that it should be called simply The North Stand.

The Centro? (Centro, Centro, give us a song, Centro, give us a song!)

 

[LucahArchie10]

Yes, the Sergio Aguero stand, I’ve said it earlier in the thread. The Bert Trautman stand would be fine too.

It’s nothing personal mate, I’ve never liked the term Cityzens, I don’t identify with it whatsoever and never have.

Of course you’re entitled to your opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.

93:20 changed everything for me

So many players we could pick from the last 10 years at least but 93:20 is everyone on that day, scored at that end?

93:20 North Stand
Sergio Aguero Stand
Vincent Kompany Stand
David Silva Stand
Bert Trautman
Mike Summerbee
