We are calling for Aston Villa Football Club to rename The North Stand ‘The Ron Saunders Stand’ in honour of the great man. Either as it is now or if redevelopment is going to happen.

I'd personally go with The Saunders-Barton Stand.

I'd rather they rename the Witton Lane stand.

So would I, but that is not the point of this thread.

It’s all a bit “Wolves”.

How?

Naming stands after ex players/managers etc. I’d rather we call it the Witton End.

I tend to agree. There are many Players and managers over the years deserving if you go down that route. Leave as they are.

Agreed - no naming stands after people (except Thomas Holte)

Revert to The Witton Lane Stand and then keep all four as they are. A statue would be a fitting tribute to a collosus of a man, placed at the foot of the Holte End steps.

He’s the only manager in my lifetime of supporting Villa to be around long enough to leave a legacy of winning more than one trophy and giving us seven brilliant seasons . Happy birthday Sir Ron - you always gave each and everyone of us 110% commitment. Other than winning the FA cup I don’t think anything would make me happier than singing your name for all my worth whilst you were being paraded on the pitch by your family in front of the stand named after you. Thanks too Legion for kicking off the petition 🙏🤞
