Thanks for update Steve, keep Michael happy

I see its still "subject to" though! Will we ever get FULL approval for this without anymore "subject too's"?

Am awaiting 'official' confirmation from Idiot of Southwood before I comment.

on the front of it fantastic news, but this whole 'subject too' malaki kind of makes all a little premature, especially with Thanet Councils history. Also how long are we going to have to wait till this little amendmant is approved? and then how long are we going to have to wait till building work starts? Lets hope the answers are very soon instead of next summer. Excuse me for my pessimism, but it's just that we've been here so many times it feels and yet nothing has happened.

It might be "subject to" still, but we seemed to have got further since the major item stopping all other plans has been removed with Sandy Ezekiel standing down

Why is this development described as the north stand-confusion enough as to whether it is the tivoli or coffin end.

 

Why do we now call it the north stand?

 

Geography never my stroggest point,and i have'nt held a compass since i left the wolf clubs-but surely-the coffin end is roughly south east facing,and minimally-hartsdown road end is further north than tivoli road.?

Thought the ground was more SW-NE with the Coffin End being NE.

So it is North East & South West therefore, should we call it St James's Park Stand?

 

 

 

 

 

[Frankie100]

It should be called something like the Alma Hall or Chris Kinnear Stand. It should not be referred to as the Coffin End as that name was only there due to some prat with a spray can.

Has to be Almer Hall Stand. Agreed Frankie.

I would say it will be named after the person/ company that pays the most for the privilege. Or possibly named the "Soaking wet and freezing cold remembrance stand"

[Porka]

Seems daft not to cash in. But a suggestion to use the naming of the new lounge/bar area to recognise a legend. The Chris Kinnear Suite?

I seem to remember discussion some years back when the ground was going to be rebuilt, there being a thread on here re the naming of the new stands. I believe then that it was stated that the stand would be named after a sponsor.

 

Perhaps it would be a good idea to have the stand named after a person who has done a lot for the club and also let someone sponsor it ie: The (name) stand sponsored by (sponsor).

 

Just a thought.

[Coffin Ender]

If it is named after a person it is generally normal to name it after someone who is dead. So maybe Alan Kay, Bob Harrop or Almer Hall.

 

As for sponsorship...sure, take the money but it makes no difference to the fans. I still think of Dover at Crabble, not the Perrys Crabble Stadium.

Perhaps an area or something can be dedicated to Paul sykes?

[SteveB]

Reading through this thread earlier I did think that 'Sykos Bar' had a good ring to it.

[Coffin Ender]

It's clear there are quite a few people (whether players, managers, administrators or supporters) who would deserve to be marked in some way. Maybe one of the bars could double as a 'hall of fame'.

 

 

[Porka]

Love the 'hall of fame' idea. Perhaps have a wall dedicated to this with pictures of all those inducted. Would add something special to the place.

 

Wonder if it would be a nice touch to have a roll of honour of each 'Supporters Player of the Year' winner also.
