Author Topic: Anfield Nouveau Part II - What do we call the stands? (Read 7180 times)

My little Pony Tony · « **on:** May 17, 2002, 02:07:38 pm »

Right, I know I'm jumping the gun here and, if a lot of people have their way, this still might not happen but we might as well consider one question before the Corporates get involved.

Moving from the current site to Stanley Park will mean there will be no Anfield Road stand any more. The Centenary of the club has been and gone so it's not worth keeping that name. And the Main Stand, well that's a somewhat flat name.

So the question is - what do we call the stands at the new stadium?

Presumably we keep the name of the Kop (or do we? Can it ever be the same if it's not on the site of the old Spion Kop?) Off the top of my head I can think of 5 possibilities.

The Shankly Stand
The Paisley Stand
The Fagan Stand
The Liddell Stand
The Stanley Park Stand

Ok - all predictable but can anybody else suggest better? So long as we don't get the Reebok Stand, Carlsberg end or McNasty's Family Stand...

Will deffo be the Bill Shankly Kop.

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #2 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:14:16 pm »

Two stands need to be named after shanks and paisley irregardless.

That just leaves two in my book.

Will this mean if it goes ahead that McNasty's can fuck off, although i presume the buggers will be at the new one if it happens.

Officially or in your opinion?

Dilutes both names somewhat?

My little Pony Tony · « **Reply #4 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:18:02 pm »

Looking at the pictures again I think it's a double tier job - that would leave 7 or 8 possibilities (different name for the upper tiers?)

Steve C · « **Reply #5 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:18:29 pm »

How about the Rick Parry South Stand

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #6 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:18:39 pm »

Sorry yes in my opinion ( just in case the club sue me )

Well in that case we could have the anny rd end, the park end, priory rd end and the other road that i can't remember the name of.

Ben S · « **Reply #7 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:20:54 pm »

Im not up for having the same name for a stand the the blue shite had (Park End).

Shankly and Paisley should be mentioned in there somewhere - the gates we have for them now could be incorportated into the entrances to these stands from their surrounding areas.

Lucky i was being sarcastic, just naming them after closest roads etc...

Thank god for that. I thought you'd lost the plot there jon!

My little Pony Tony · « **Reply #11 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:31:28 pm »

Jon - Actually I was asking Steve who said it "Will deffo be the Bill Shankly Kop. "

But you're right to be cautious.

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:34:59 pm »

Yes i was, and they could sue me for my debt as it's there fault for it in the first place. Three finals in one season, bloody hell me bank manager collapsed.

No course I dont know.

Just what I reckon.

Why the fuck would they sue me? If they want fucking well let them Ive got fuck all to be sued for anyway.

Farman · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:41:09 pm »

The Kop end should not be named after anybody. It is The Kop.

The Shankly Stand and The Paisley Stand should be (symbolically) opposite each other, along the length of the pitch, with entrance gates to match.

The end opposite the Kop (Anny Road equivalent)? May I strongly suggest The Memorial End, with the actual memorial, or another one for good measure, to be put there.

Paul · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:42:54 pm »

Could the Anfield Rd end still be called the Anfield Rd end? It would still be nearest to Anfield Rd anyway. Then the Kop could still be opposite it, with Shankly and Paisley stands at the sides.

If we dont, where would the Anny Rd Aggro go to?

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2002, 02:48:49 pm »

I thought the stadium was going to be the other way round. With the two long stands as anfield and priory road sides as such.

The (Cllr) Kenny Stand

21 Turnstiles - each one named after a Championship Winning Season...

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #26 on:** May 17, 2002, 04:12:39 pm »

That sounds like a great idea. Maybe we should ask the club to do it if the move goes through.
