Poynton ram Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Would be great to have Jim Smith recognised in some way. That promotion season at BBG and the first few years at PP were fantastic Pikeyram, Kathcairns and Walkley Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trappatoni Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I really wouldn't want stands named after ex players/managers - I just hate all that living in the past. bcnram and Tamworthram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufferingfool Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I think it’s fine as it is the area is very different to Inner city stadia where stands were named after the area adjacent. I don’t really fancy The Arena End The Car Park stand The Padel stand The industrial estate End ariotofmyown, Tamworthram and jono 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I think the away section should be called Crewton Corner, but only for games against Forest 🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I can't believe they were so haphazard in the first place... Why TF did they not just straighten the ground out before submitting the plans! This does my OCD no good at all. 🙄 Starting from my seat above the club shop, we should (in theory!) have... North Corner North East Stand East Corner (Away fans) South East End South Corner The Toyota South West Stand The West corner (where the scoreboard is... still with me, yeah?) The North West Stand. I tried using my compass to get out on Saturday, and nearly ended up on the Goddamn pitch! 😲 #seethe The Key Club King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I think the compass direction names were good in their time, especially as the whole of Pride Park was a wasteland with a brand new stadium on it. Definitely time to give them proper names though. I think a mixture of both ideas, the geographical location names (not compass directions) and the historic link with either city centric names or club linked names. The Railway end has been the best I’ve heard for the north stand so far. Although this would be perfect for the Clowes stand as this is where David used to sit. East stand is an interesting one. I’ve been a season ticket holder in the East stand for all bar a couple of years since opening. The old East Stand corner was the singing bit that was split upon the move to the south stand. We do create an atmosphere in the first blocks next to the away fans but that’s about it. It’s very much closer to the old Ossie end in relation to the pop side rather than being the old pop side so that doesn’t fit for me. What alternative names I’d give it would probably be more like alternating geographical and Chairman. You could have the Railway for North, Clowes for East, Derwent for South and Pickering for West or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
