City Voice - Name the stand

On a serious note.

I put 3 suggestions down.

The Bert Trautmann stand.
The Manchester stand.
The 93:20 stand.

Given the choice, I'd have to go for the 93:20 stand.

It was a second and a once in a lifetime moment that changed this club forever. Plus it will always remind those red.......... about that day, and away fans in general.

Fair point though the "We Are The Kippax" is not a whole stand feeling and whilst it may be chanted now and then can we really say this is how we all see it? The essence of The Kippax was that it was the stand and place we congregated in where the passion and the noise came from or was usually generated from. In the 21st century, I suggest that this is more probably going to come from behind the goal from now on. I appreciate that naming of stands is likely to cause much debate and, hopefully, reasoned cases, however I can not escape from feeling that the name of`THE SOUTH STAND, lacks soul and originality. The North Stand at Maine Road became the South Stand at the City of Manchester Stadium and then The Etihad. We need to find the right name and stick with it as long as we are at our current stadium.

I disagree.......How are fans going to chant WE ARE THE 93.20 stand?

or WE ARE THE BERT TRAUTMANN STAND


WE ARE THE SOUTH STAND has a bit of PUNCH......


and "SOUTH STAND SOUTH STAND give us a song".........imagine that with some of these daft names offered


as does WE ARE THE KIPPAX has some clout to it.

I also disagree that match going fans in the east stand don't still love the KIPPAX name and heritage.

Maybe us older ones anyway..................

I really think some people just don't go to games or sing at all......or understand what is actually being said at games in the areas that do some singing now

93:20 wasn't even at that end. Just wouldn't make sense.

I've just done the survey as well - what on earth goes through these people's minds?

The 'name the stand after a different Citizen per game idea' is literally the worst, most cringeworth idea I think I've ever heard!

Is that actually real??? Name it a stand after a different Cityzen every each game, that is what they've suggested???

Does it matter which end it was at? It could have been scored on the Moon for all I care. :-)

That's just my preference from my list.

Will be interesting to see which name the club eventually picks.

I am not sure what you are disagreeing with? We are trying to have debate about what the South Stand should be called - should it be kept as The South Stand or re-name it? I think we are all agreed that we do not want it naming each week after the name of a fan or a Cityzen. I assume you want it to be kept as the South Stand and have submitted your preference to the club?

Others have suggested the 93:20 Stand or Aguero Stand. Clearly, even if this was to receive widespread support, it would have to be for the end where Sergio scored - the current North Stand / Family Stand, so this is a non-starter for the current South Stand.

We all love THE KIPPAX name and heritage. Why would you think this is not the case? The East Stand is generally no longer considered by many to be The Kippax. There may be some who sing it , but not very often, and occasionally there is a wider response to the South Stand of, " We Are The Kippax", but it is hardly a rocking, regular occurrence. The majority of fans say that they sit in the East Stand, not The Kippax.It does not feel like The Kippax and certainly does not have the atmosphere of The Kippax. Small blocks of fans in the corner of the lower section do not constitute The Kippax.

I have been attending for over 50 years so I assume this might meet your definition of "older ones".

I thought that this thread was about the naming, or not, of a stand. It is not about singing about the name of a stand. Singing should, in the main, be directed at players and the team. This misplaced view about so called banter with away fans or even between City fans just reduces the impact of the noise directed towards urging the players on. No other stand in Europe has way fans present to, as some suggest, help create the atmosphere. The Kop does not have to sing, "We are The Kop". It is self evident.

The topic is what should the South Stand should be called. There have been a few suggestions so far. Personally I think there are lots of South Stands up and down the country and that at CITY we need a name which is original and which does not recognise just one player as so many players are deserving in different ways.
 
Just did the survey and read what this is all about. What a load of shite! Stand named after a cityzen for each league game lol lol
The idea is so shit it makes me laugh.

Keep it as it is. SOUTH STAND.

Mess around with the East stand name if you have to. Personally I'd name that Summerbee Stand. You know, Sun shines straight to the east stand, Buzzer..it would make sense!

I have an interesting article in a match prog from c.1977 when one fan is saying stuff like"she wasn't here in the mid 60s", "what makes her the chosen one" etc. it shows that even on an issue like that there'll always be someone with an opposing view. I was surprised to read it, but it's there in the City programme.
