City Voice - Name the stand

[Prestwich_Blue]

The Family Stand should deffo be the Gasworks End

What are your suggestions for the re-naming of The South Stand ? Or, do you think it should remain as The South Stand?

Agree. As shit ideas go, this one damn near tops the lot!

its defnitely in the top 3...along with Kippax & 93:20 which was fuckin sick btw ha

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.

1880 Connell stand - tribute to our beginnings.

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.

It will be some marketing shit......not what addicted match going season card holding regulars want
