The Ron Saunders Stand

[dave.woodhall]

Neither stand nor statue, but Saunders Park instead of Bodymoor has a nice ring to it.

It’s all a bit “Wolves”.

And Man United, Liverpool, Celtic, Newcastle, Man City, Rangers and absolutely loads of teams other than sodding Wolves. What a bizarre thing to post, sounds like you're as obsessed with them as they are with us. That's before we even talk about clubs as big as Inter and Ajax having whole grounds named after players.

I'd be delighted to celebrate a glorious part of our history and have the stand named after Ron.

With a big sign saying "Always give 110% to Aston Villa. If you can't guarantee that just fuck off"

I'd rather they rename the Witton Lane stand.

The Witton lane is the past name for Doug Ellis. The north stand was the Witton end

Rename the road along the back of the North Stand 'The Ron Saunders Way'. He'd like that.

Oh alright, keep your knickers on!

[Border villan]

As the Villa have never named a stand after any of our heroes a statue would be a fitting tribute, but not while Ron is still with us.

I’d have no problem with names of stands or statues for Ron Saunders

On a personal level he’s the man who built a team that gave me the greatest times of my life

[clash city rocker]

Sir Ron has a very dry sense of humour. Could we not put on the crossbar in front of the holte.....The Ron Saunders goal.k

Will do. Any suggestions as to options?

Sorry to disappoint anyone but I doubt it will be named after Ron.
I worked (while I was with AViDS) along with the Foundation in the planning and making of the sensory rooms (not trying to big up my part). I asked if they could be named "The Ron Saunders Sensory Suite" and I was told that after consideration it would be "too political". I was very disappointed, especially after the size of the donation AViDS gave towards the project.

I signed this yesterday on Facebook

If a personal tribute is "too political" and/or you think a stand for both Sir Ron and Tony Barton is a bit long winded how about recognising what was a glorious team effort - may I suggest either "The Rotterdam Stand" or "The 1982 stand".

If Portuguese Ron can have a statue so can our Ron whilst still alive.

So long as theres a proviso that we automatically rename the stand next time we're European champions.
