RandomGuy Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Felt the need to start a thread, as couldn't find one that discussed him. And the section that solely talks about what he achieved at Saints... Coltrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I voted for him in the HoF nominations as well. I had never put two and two together regarding the Campbell Suite. I possibly thought it was named after one of the directors! That's a nice touch but he should have been the second man into the Hall of Fame and his omission to date reflects badly on Saints.

Guest ScottMann Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I thought it was named after the late Ally Campbell, the Fair City Amusements guy that was a key guy in the early days with Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's who I was thinking of. Not to dismiss his contribution but would be delighted if it was indeed Robert Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to dismiss his contribution but would be delighted if it was indeed Robert Campbell. The "Significant Saints" section on the official website confirms the Campbell Suite is named after Robert Campbell. http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/significant-saints "What Robert Campbell would make of McDiarmid Park, the modern game and the communication medium that is the internet, we can only surmise. However, one thing is for sure – he, more than anyone, deserves his place in the history section of this website and he would no doubt be pleased that the Campbell Suite within the current stadium is named in his honour."

It's obviously been crossed wires somewhere along the line anyway. The story's come up when the conversation's been about the early days of Geoff's time and how far we've come. Delighted it's wrong and thanks for putting me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
