Mentorred Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Are you having a laugh, hes the best chairman we've ever had. His penny pinching in the 80's probably helped us from going into Adminstration with Motherwell, Livi etc Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2183-new-stadium-name/page/2/#findComment-58127

BobbyBiscuit Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 If we're all agreed that the highest bidder is fine what about stands? the Zerouali stand must be a shoe in, and probably a Fergie/Gothenburg job too No chance. The Fergie Stand The Willie Miller Stand The Chris Anderson Stand The Joey Harper Stand Take out the Joe Harper one and have one for the Gothenburg Greats.

caledonia Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I see what you've done there Whoever pays the most is fine by me, although I'd prefer if it wasn't something entirely gay like the Tesco Arena. I was only joking when i said the Tesco arena and yes it does sound gay but usually money talks I agree with The Northern Light Stadium Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2183-new-stadium-name/page/2/#findComment-58133
redordead Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 boycotting all use of "community" or Aberdeen, look at the city of Manc, called Eastlands. Unless it's catchy It'll get Loirston or cove. p.s Gothenburg greats stand sounds good Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2183-new-stadium-name/page/2/#findComment-58134
Guest fatshaft Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Are you having a laugh, hes the best chairman we've ever had. He was the Chairman while Chris Anderson came up with all the ideas.

Guest fatshaft Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 No chance. Take out the Joe Harper one and have one for the Gothenburg Greats. I agree no chance of Zero. I thought Joey as he's still our record scorer. Hard to dofferentiate between the gothenburg team, but I suppose the Johnny Hewitt stand would be pretty sound.

Slim Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Naming rights will probably go to a sponsor, otherwise Aberdeen Arean should suffice. With regards to the stands: The Glory of Gothenburg Stand The Northern Lights Stand The Lochside Stand The Stand Free Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2183-new-stadium-name/page/2/#findComment-58167
Reekie_Red Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The Ullevi Stand The Richard Donald Stand The Alex Ferguson Stand The Red Stand (this one's GOT to be terraced, and for the home fans who want to sing and shout and swear) Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2183-new-stadium-name/page/2/#findComment-58199

Superstar Tradesman Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 It'll get called the Geez-Yer-Money-Sit-Doon-Shut-Up-And-Ye'll-Take-It-And-Ye'll-Like-It Stadium. No colours will be allowed inside the ground unless you're 8 years old or younger. Abuse, racism, swearing and noise of any sort is strictly prohibited unless it's aimed directly towards our own players or staff. A moat will be built around the main entrance big enough to thwart any 12 man protests and a unirail link will jettison fans between the city and stadium on a train called the Flying Pig.

chunk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Don't like Gothernburg Greats or Glory of Gothernburg stand - simple Gothenburg or Ullevi stand would do me. I also think individuals that have stands named after them should be dead - in memorium rather than anything. Who knows what damage a living person could do to the club in future? As a consequence, maybe have an Anderson/Donald stand (toss of a coin?) and leave the other two stands as whatever direction they face, or whatever road they lie on and wait for someone to die. We could then have a well thought out poll as to whether they are worthy of having a stand named after them, or whether we think the club would just be appealing to the lowest common denominator. As for the stadium itself, I have no issues with the highest bidder theory - the naming of the stands can reflect the character of the club.

RnP Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 As long as its nae a local manure trader that has the highest bidder then I like Slims idea for The Stand Free Why not give Chris Anderson and Richard Donald a stand each and leave the 4th one open to some sort of competition/vote ?

Madbadteacher Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 As long as we avoid calling it something really naff like stadium of light I'm not really worried. More concerned if we'll have a new manager by then Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/2183-new-stadium-name/page/2/#findComment-58218
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The Aberdeen Arena seems appropriate. The stands will get called what they get called. Not necessarily the official names either.

Guest fatshaft Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I like Slims idea for The Stand Free Of all the ideas knocked around, this one just stands out as the ideal and most 'Dons-like' name for the home end.
