The Etihad and the stands

Re-name the South Stand 'The One End'. It might improve the atmosphere.

Also...

What about the brand 'etihad' being put on the seating, or any other past players or just Manchester City being put on the seat in White or red and black?

Our stadium is a bit boring like that...

Re: The Etihad and the stands

I wanted the Colin Bell Stand to instead have been called the Bell End but for some reason it didn't quite happen.

Rumours around at the time it was named, that Man Utd supporters were voting for King Col, so it would be named the Bell End.

They really don't know us, do they :)

Wasn't the original plan to rename the North or South Stand? But in an attempt to avoid the whole 'Bell End' thing it was changed to the West Stand when it became clear that King Col was going to win.

Or is my memory just playing tricks on me?

'Mario Balotelli Stand' lol. I would say possibly in the future the 'Roberto Mancini Stand'.

I guarantee circa 2020, one of them will be called-The Roberto Mancini Stand, failing that a new kippax for the south stand would also do the trick

Re: The Etihad and the stands

call the east the Kippax, north the Platt Lane, and south the North Stand... just to go back to Maine Road days...<br /><br />-- Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:32 pm --<br /><br />and also to confuse the hell out of away fans...

Maybe I was dreaming of this, but didn't I hear once there was talk of them renaming the entrances after City hall of famers?!

We couldn't have had the Bell End because at the time we had David Seaman in goal.
"ohhh and he's lobbed Seaman from the Bell End"

'The Blazin Squad end'

Which contains "the bungle bar".

Do they sell chips in this stand ?
