when you think of the likes of Karen Brady being a  Baroness (at least I think that's her title) anything is open to our opportunist travel agent.

If ever a picture deserved a caption competition.

Struggling with this one to be honest, I have to confess Karen actually looks quite tasty. Sorry, I'm off to say a thousand Hail Marys

Who'd have thought a surprise prostate examination could be so enjoyable

The emasure of Ellis is for me, that whatever stance we take now regarding the naming of the stand, I'd wager that the majority of us want his name taken off the stand as soon as he pops his clogs.

[brian green]

His name can be put on whatever landfill site the Trinity stand went into.  Probably somewhere in Chelmsley Wood.

I started following our club in 1989(ish) and have had many more good times than bad. I understand the dismantling of European Champions (albeit before my time) and the reluctance to really push on when we came close to cracking it in the 90's, but I find it hard to hate the man as so many do.

Funny , most people get things named after them upon death, it will be interesting to see how quickly is deemed appropriate before we remove his name from our stadium or whether we would wait until the next redevelopment of the WItton Lane side of the ground.

It was the Witton Lane stand long before Herbert arrived and has always continued to be so as far as I'm concerned.

I would have no objection for it to be renamed after someone who was worthy of it.

True. I think there will be a growing number of people through whatever channels - directly to the club or through local media - who will raise the issue of re-naming the stand. The club will be in a difficult position though because reputation wise it would not look good to remove the name of someone who has died in the aftermath of that death. It could look callous and uncalled for. I think it should go and want his name off the Witton Lane. As has been said, if it does need to be given a name - and I think the club have no option but throw it out to fans to re-name rather than just take his name off - then Ellis's name has to be put in a poll with other luminaries -  McGregor/Ramsay/Rinder/Saunders etc I'm sure many other have their favourites. Joe Bache for me.

[brian green]

Seconded.

[brian green]

They could fudge it of course.  The Witton Stand could be divided into  five or six blocks.  The Joe Bache 20%  the Harry Hampton 20% the Paul McGrath 20% the Peter McParland 19% the Herbert Ellis 1% (restricted view).
