hope maybe the north/east stand is named after him as a tribute

This would be a fitting gesture.

A sad day indeed, a proper legend.

RIP Bert.

Has to be the new redeveloped South Stand as it's behind the goal

great idea. was really hoping he'd get a stand named for him before he passed, but has to happen now.

RIP

Why? It's literally just been verified and they've spent the past hour confirming the news.

RIP Bert. You were a quite extraordinary man who lived a quite extraordinary life.

I wouldn't normally react like this - but fuck off, mate. It's not the time or the place to be criticising the club because you didn't find out about somebody fucking dying as quickly as you wanted to.
