Tony Currie Stand No More?!

[S6 Blade]

Looks like the club are seeking an marketing opportunity with a prospective new sponsor getting naming rights to the south stand.

Was naming the stand after TC only on a set time scale?

 

[S6 Blade]

Looks like it might be along side TC’s name actually. Should have read the whole thing!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I'm sure some of the older Blades will shoot me down for this, but a lot of Blades never saw him play. If there's an opportunity for us to bring in a few quid then I'd say its worth it.

I get that clubs like Man Utd, West Ham, Liverpool etc have stands named after players/ managers but I don't think we're in the financial position to give up an opportunity to keep TC's name on there.

 

[Torrix1889]

I'm still fuming about the Jessica Ennis stand being re-named.....don't think I will ever go to BDTBL again if they take TC's name off the South Stand...

 

[JPBrods]

It's been sponsored before. Not much of a big deal if it is again for a while for some extra dosh.

 

[Bladesman]

Is this the new partner / investment PA mentioned a while back on The Blades Way?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Wasn't it some coffee brand/TC stand for a bit? Be like that I guess.

Where's saying this by the way?

I started going in the 90s, I suspect I'm not the only one who still thinks of it as the Laver Stand.

Laver, of course, being a corporate sponsor. So it's not like it's the first time this has happened.

To most old gits like me, South Stand, Kop, John Street and Lane end.

it is, and always will, be the South Stand. To be said in a Bert type, liverish voice.

Edit: or SouthEssexBlade, I’m not fussy

To an older git like me the South Stand side was always cricket pavilion side!!!

It was still the pavilion side when I first started going. Watching the scores guy hoping he'd change red indicator A with a home goal.

If you look carefully the gentlemen at the back are spraying beer and throwing bottles.

Bert is correct. None of this South Stand nonsense.

Didn't approve of the Jess Ennis rebrand but once named TC should be immortalised forever on that stand with no one else for company unless they erect him a statue then they can have the stand back.

for me it will always be the new stand, kop, terrace and lane end

It’s the new stand

 

[coaxingstar71]

Could they not encourage Currys to sponsor it?

Haha, brilliant. Quick question though, He's seen as great and from what Ive seen of him on clips he was, but did he contribute more to the club that Billy Sharp? Similar about of games played for us by both...Sharps scored a lot more goals.

I'm not biased to Sharp, genuinely interested in peoples views of contribution to the club

Why, the beastly cads.....

Shouldn’t it be the “new, more northerly south stand”?

He played in a side that got relegated from the top division and one that got promoted to the top division just like BIlly.
