North Stand Construction Discussion

It was great tonight, especially with the weather being horrific, but organisation and acoustics would still improve things. You can make a racket on a guitar but plug it into an amplifier and it's going to be louder. Stick several thousand fans under a roof that projects the noise and it will go up another level again.

Maybe but last night showed football is all about passion, all the rest is a bonus.

Dad Supported them, as in "my old man said be a City fan"... Sometimes I question the time I spend on Bluemoon but at least this is my club. What do you get from posting on here ? over 500+ messages. Your new owners might be a step up from the Glaziers, good luck...
 
Not a fan of the Centurion stand, if the stand is going to be called that??

I’d rather have the stand named more appropriately than City getting 100 points. It was a great achievement, but to name a stand after it, no. I doubt anyone outside of City’s fan base will know why the stand has been named the Centurion stand. No doubt we’ll get, because it’s only got 100 City fans in it. Much prefer the Citizens stand or something else. It would have been nice if the club had consulted the fans about naming the stand. After all, we’re going to be stood on it.

The explanation given was to make sure people did know about the 100 point season, but you are quite right, we'll get the banter about there only being 100 fans in it. I'm not a big fan of it either. They can learn about that in the museum instead. The 1894 survey included suggestions on the name for the stand. I doubt there would be a name that was overwhelmingly backed. I'm not a fan of 93.20 but would back it being named after Sergio because it is his goal that defined our history at that end and brought such joy. Would also be happy with the New Kippax. It's not a side stand but it's a nod to our history.

Can we set up a poll on here? Give fans that chance to choose or suggest names.

I’m not particularly bothered whether the stand has a name or not but Centurion is as good as any other I’ve heard suggested, better than a few.
Funny though on the way to the game yesterday was chatting to my son and we were saying how little is made of that unique and great achievement compared to the invincibles and we should celebrate it more. So don’t mind it.
The 100 fan thing I really wouldn’t care about.

Ask Ric or one of mods to set up a new thread to name the stand with a poll.

Limit the name to 6 choices that can be discussed first. Then Ric or a mod can start the poll with those names.

Hopefully Ric or one of the mods will monitor the naming discussion and decide when the discussion has reached a majority agreement to pick the 6 names. Thanks.

Let’s go with some of names already mention and discussed at length. Other people can add names until we come up with an agreeable 6 names.

Sensible names only please that can be used.

I happy to go with these 4 off the top off my head.

1. North stand.(leave the name as it is)
2. Centurion stand.(apparently this is the name the club are calling the new stand)
3. 93:20 stand
4. Citizens stand.
5?
6?
 
I’m not that impressed if it’s called the centurion stand. I get that it was a great achievement, but I doubt most city fans would have picked that event.

It neglects most of our history/ past players

The Centurions achievement is currently a record not achieved by any of the so called great sides including,Arse Invincibles,who are referenced much more frequently, despite garnering many less points and goals.

The Centurions played every game to win (unlike Arse who played not to loose) including the 100 points winning game when we won with the last competitive kick of the game.

It is a remarkable achievement that should be used as a beacon of our history and that team.

It’s astonishing to me that the club and many fans have allowed such an achievement to pass into relative obscurity, whilst the Media are pumping Burnley’s achievement in the bloody championship.

Ours is a record that will stand for a long, long time and currently we’re are the only team likely to beat it !!

‘The Centurions Stand’, with a hundred golden seats will help to ‘re market’ the achievement and position that team as the greatest of the modern era.

The Centurions Stand...a symbol of greatness !!

Centurion is about as relevant as calling it the "93:20 was Balotelli's only assist" stand.
