North Stand Construction Discussion

I don’t even accept an official nickname as being a thing. Who decides what an official nickname is? The whole point of a nickname is they it’s an unofficial term of endearment. Or abuse sometimes.
I also bet if you asked a thousand Leeds fans what their nickname is, 999 of them would say “whites” Fucking Peacocks? Literally never heard that apart from the boozer.
And West Brom’s is baggies.
Everyone knows West Brom fans are called Baggies. Boing, Boing!

Course it fucking does...get a gripI’m telling you all now, the Centurion stand will never catch on or be accepted by the majority of City fans who will stand on it. It’s nothing more than marketing guff thought up by the suits at City, that can be rolled out to name the hotel, bar and restaurant over looking the pitch. The Centurion name has no affinity whatsoever with your average City fan now, bar the memory of when the 100 points record was achieved at Southampton. Does that really warrant a stand and a new home end naming after it? No it doesn’t!!
Of the top of my head.
Old White Hart Lane. The Shelf.(great name)
United. Stretford End.
Liverpool. The KOP.
Old Highbury. The North Bank and Clock End. Which Arsenal have used for both ends of the Emirates stadium.
Everton. The Gwladys Street End.
Leeds. The Kippax.
Newcastle. The Gallowgate end.
Aston Villa. The Holte End.
Etc.

Does it fuck! Get a grip. Naming a stand and home end after getting 100 points away at Southampton. What, instead of naming it after that goal scored at that end, that won us our first PL title. And is the most famous goal and moment in PL history. Ask any City fan which moment they remember and cherish the most, including you!Course it fucking does...get a grip

Bit of a bizarre take and completely overthinking it.
It’s better than your generic Citizens or 1894 suggestions tbh.

We won the league in injury time...Great for us but 100 points might never be beaten, if so we were the first.Does it fuck! Get a grip.

People will have a preferred name, of course, but there’s no realistic name that would warrant such a response. You’d have thought the ‘Alan Ball Stand’ had been suggested.

I never suggested 1894. Just to correct you.(again)

That’s one way of looking at it.
But it might beaten.

The Centurion name, if true, is shit.
Dummy well and truly spat out, along with the toys.

When was the last time you heard a United fan call themselves a Rag?
The Coach Wreckers who stand on the KOP call themselves Kopites.
I’m not calling myself a Centurion. Lol!
Why not? I honestly believe it is our greatest achievement - 100 points, 100+ goals in a premier league season. It is a record that every football fan in the land should be aware of - but it isn’t. Thanks to our media the ‘invincibles’ are better known … so we should ram our achievement into eternity.
By the way, I’m also happy with the other names suggested but think this one is the best
Yours sincerely,
Centurion Trotsky ;-)

But who really remembers it now? Who talks about it now? I don’t. It was a great achievement then. It‘s part of our history. But to name a stand and home end after it?

And you’re right, the majority of rival fans aren’t aware of it. And they never will be.
Nope, Baggies is an unofficial nickname, much like ours is The Blues. West Brom is The Throstles, Leeds is The Peacocks, Newcastle is The Magpies, Chelsea is The Pensioners, Bolton is The Trotters, City is The Citizens.I don’t even accept an official nickname as being a thing. Who decides what an official nickname is? The whole point of a nickname is they it’s an unofficial term of endearment. Or abuse sometimes.

Correct, even has a Throstle on their badge.West Brom were known as the Throstles, Baggies is a modern replacement.
