It feels like a given that the eels fans / club are going to try throw some ex-player names onto stands, even though they know it's not their stadium. It was farcical seeing them cover up this stuff at the last stadium when we played. Id love to see our club come out and say 'ok name 4 players in our short history who are worthy of having a stand named after them'. Because why not us ? wendybr and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment
mack Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 My first thought is that this is a new stadium so we shouldn't be going around naming stands. Let someone create new history and in 10 years there might be players worth celebrating in that way. The second is just stick four LED screens at the top of each stand and whoever using the stadium can just use whatever names they want. Prydzopolis, BeefB, btron3000 and 6 others 9 Link to comment
wendybr Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Unpopular opinion maybe? Who cares what the stands are formally called. It'll be "Wanderland" when we're there...well maybe it will...if people actually like that?? What's been done in the past...covering names...can still be done if it's seen as important?? But basically...if a rose by any other name would still smell just as sweet, then a stand within our stadium by ANY name will hopefully be just as good to watch football in!

Beer Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Christ there are some softc*cks (pardon the language) on this thread lately. Hawks mate, you’ve completely taken Chief’s bait hook, line and sinker. Surely you’ve got more important things to worry about than seat colours, statues and the names of stands at the new stadium? Its not their stadium, no. But we aren’t solely entitled to it either. It’s a shared stadium and if they want a ray price statue put up, good luck to them. thefairy and TehSmileyBandit 2 Link to comment
hawks2767 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I take it you missed Ray Price's comments on the stadium then. Link to comment
btron3000 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Have to agree with Beer and Wendy. I couldn't care less what it's called, what the colours are, who plays first etc. etc. I just wanna get there and have fun. matty and Smoggy 2 Link to comment

This thread is going to be awesome to revisit in about 12 month's time In 12 months time we’ll be rocking the place. The old stadium had the same name as the Eels, had stands and hills and bars named after their players, had the Price statue out the front, yet if you went to one of their games it was quiet 80-90% of the time and only got loud when they were on top. I’ll take our experience every time. Prydzopolis and Wanderboy 2 Link to comment

He's now claiming on the Eels forum that there will be nothing like this stadium anywhere in the world. It must have something to do with "that" statue. People like him are just ******* pests. wswtragic 1 Link to comment
mack Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 He's also wrong, repeating the bogus "pitch 10 meters underground" claim. It's simply not true. Even if you're standing on the entry concourse level, the distance down to the pitch level is only about 5 meters, nd the lower bowl is build between the concourse level and the pitch so those in the lower bowl will be almost level with the pitch. And the pitch level is roughly ground level. You can even see that the pitch isn't 10 meters underground in photos being taken of the build progress. He's got a few days left on his temp ban if he comes back and is an idiot again he'll get The Treatment again. sonar, Wanderboy, EmMac and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment
Wanderboy Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Can't say I didn't warn you Mack. Also, I know he's wrong about the 10 metres claim. I laughed at that claim. I wonder if there's any plans that show the RL's of the different levels? Edited August 20, 2018 by Wanderboy mack and Prydzopolis 1 1 Link to comment
