Thaumagurist*Dirk Gently Never going to happen whilst the rugger-buggers share with us - because it might upset them!
The rugger buggers can piss off.
Anyway, instead of naming the stands after anyone (never understood why we need to do so), why don't we name the stands after some nearby location, i.e.:
South Stand = The A33 Stand.
North Stand = The Hotel Stand.
East Stand = Green Park Stand.
West Stand = The Wind Turbine Stand.
Or maybe:
South Stand = Whitley Stand
North Stand = Smallmead Stand
West Stand = Motorway Stand
East Stand = Reading Stand

Thaumagurist* I don't get you. Soulless? Why? Elm Park had stands called South Bank, Tilehurst End, North Stand and the Town End. I don't get why you need to name a stand after somebody "to give it a soul", when you could name it after the location the stand is at. Nothing wrong with that.

The A33 Stand?
It's in a business park. I can't think of anything more soulless than naming after anything around there...apart from the windmill maybe.

who are ya? Like JSC said, Reading fans haven't got the drive to carry things like this through. Don't get me wrong I would love to see things like this happen at the Madejski to at least attempt to give the place some sort of character, I just don't think Reading fans have got it in their locker to push for stuff like this and make any real impact.

Jerry St Clair There was a campaign of sorts on here about 10 years ago, just after Maurice Evans died, to rename the East Stand The Maurice Evans Stand. Some reported that they'd phoned the ticket office asking for seats in the Maurice Evans Stand and the TO knew what they were talking about. As with most things Reading, though, it petered out because there was never really the will there to carry it through.
