Pep has a stand name after him on leaving apparently

115 End would be more appropriate?

The Charlie Aitken Stand. His appearance record is unlikely to ever be beaten so it would be a fitting memorial for a true Villan.

And herein lies the problem. Aitken, Saunders, Barton, Ramsay, Little, McGrath, McGinn, Emery, etc. All great servants, all achieved great things and arguments about level of achievement. There should be other ways of celebrating them.

North Stand, Witton End are fine but the reality now is that we need as much cash as we can. So let a sponsor pay for the privilege.

The Witton Lane needs renaming too.

Too bloody right it does, the only stand with someone's name on it and the least deserving, it's a stain that it's still up there.

I think the “new” Witton Lane stand is a fitting tribute to Herbert.

Ellis boasted that it was only stand in the Premier League that was built by the club itself. Having worked in there … you can tell

Didn't Manchester City have a vote for the name of their new end a few years back and got loads of votes off Man U fans for Colin Bell so it would be the Bell end. Fuckin funny I thought - knocks the bollox out of boaty mcboatface.
