blueheaven Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 16 hours ago, andy rhodes fancy watch said: All the stands already have names so I'm against renaming them, especially if folk actually think Tommy Wright deserves that sort of recognition. He doesn't by the way. What would someone have to do to deserve that recognition in your view? Out of interest, do you disagree us with having a stand named after Willie Ormond? Because if Wright doesn't deserve it, Ormond doesn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the 2014 Scottish cup stand I'd be on board with that idea, yeah. Still think Tommy Wright should eventually have something at the ground in his name though (not necessarily a stand).

double deluxe Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 I wish the south stand was called “The Willie Ormond Stand”. Simply just “Ormond Stand” does the idea a disservice IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Did the club not say at the outset when it was decided to have the Ormond Stand named that they put Wullie Ormond related memorabilia on display? I also think it is time they updated the display cases in the Muirton Suite or at least do a couple of them for the cup winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning began to change the display cases in the Muirton Suite a couple of years back with a ‘timeline’ of the club’s history being one of the proposals. A number of different reasons put the whole thing on hold and it hasn’t been revisited since. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it has moved, but there was a standing cabinet there at one time. Amongst other things used to have a Saints jockey cap. Personally, if there's going to be memorabilia on show, put it somewhere everyone can get access to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Now that is a name of mine from the distant past when I was little more than a trainee specky now 50 odd years fully qualified and onto probably 30+ pairs. My apologies although you obviously know who I am flummoxed by your pseudonym. As regards display cases the dictionary definition is a construction with one or more glass panels to allow display of things. Therefore by that definition I am correct (as you are also). I also apologise for my flippant comment about being brain dead if this caused offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYellowBox Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) I'd be of the view that you name a stand once someone has either died or retired. If you want to mark an occasion, like the 17th May, then you could rename one of the suites or even better, create a new hospitality suite. Possibly utilising the spaces in the corners. For me, I think a couple of appropriate options are a) name the road leading down to the ground, maybe 17th street and the road/ running in front of the ormond 28th street (get it's very americanised) and have a signpost at the corner of the two commemorating the cup wins with a plaque or something. b ) you could utilise the 'dead space' grass area at the top of the car park as either some kind of memorial garden for players and fans that have passed. Again, could name it after someone OR you create a fan zone and fave a bit of fun with it, I.E the George O'Boyle party zone. Final suggestion, we can name or even sell sponsor rights to the training ground/pitches behind the main and East stands. Maybe the Tommy Wright Training centre or for example the Aviva training complex and they put up branding.
