DavesaRam Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 If there is a car park that only gets used on matchdays, and remains empty for the rest of the time, it could be named the John Newman Care Park, because he emptied the life out of anyone who got too close. And if John objects, then it could be called the Tommy Docherty Car Park, because he emptied the club of talent during his short stay in Derby.

The Key Club King Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 We only have 4 stands so to name one after someone like Igor Stimac who played less than 100 games for us, I'm just not having. Clough, Hector, Roy Mac, Bloomer, Guthrie -yes. Though I may accept the "Ebou Adams Arena" 🥰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Proper names become proper names only by the passage of time ,,, for instance as someone who has always sat in the east stand since pp was built it will always be the east stand to me , Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the club should look forwards. You'd have to be retired to really remember the Clough era properly. If old blokes in the pub want to reminisce fine but it just seems a negative way to brand the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many, I suspect. (I'm pretty sure I never did!) Archied, Tamworthram and Kathcairns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thanks for that, at least! Phew! 🤓 sheeponacid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying "I never met my Grandad, the VC winner, so I've thrown his medals in the bin". Honour your past, live in the present, plan for your future.
