The toffee stand
The previous owners were going to go with The bill kenwright stadium.
The four stand were going to be named:
The bill kenwright north stand
The bill kenwright east stand
The bill kenwright south stand
The bill kenwright west stand
Hopefully, that will change now.
The north Neville Southall stand and the east Gordon West standWe should definitely call the North Stand the Neville SOUTHall stand, to throw some confusion in to the mix.
Is there any other club in the world that would name something that is so important to the club after someone who nearly destroyed the club, after said person had left and had severed all ties?I know Moshiri was a failure in so many ways as our owner. Nearly bankrupted us in fact. But, without him we would not have this stadium. We should name one stand after him.
Hello Jenny SeagroveI Think Kenwright and Kendall should have stands named after them. For Howard few can argue that what he achieved as a player and then as a manager puts him head and shoulders above all others. For me the new stadium doesn't happen without Kenwright, I know Moshiri funded it (or secured the loans), but Kenwright was the person with the passion for the football club at board level. But we could keep 2 as unnamed for now, hopefully in the future we will have new people who will be deemed worthy of having a stand named after them
Big Nev stand
No one would argue with Howard Kendall being remembered. The stadium happened despite Kenwright being involved. Moshiri funded it which made it happen relatively quickly, but we were close to getting the funding for the Kings dock, only for Kenwright to stick his oar in and it fell by the wayside. He spent over 2 decades holding the club back while we were making great progress getting back to the top on the pitch, just so he could get a rich guy to splurge a load of cash and he could stay front of center in the directors box. Kenwright became more passionate about keeping control of the club rather than making the club moving forward, and not many people want a lasting reminder to those times.I Think Kenwright and Kendall should have stands named after them.
