I know this has been put out there before but where are people with naming the East Stand "The Sir Tom Farmer Stand " given what he has done for the club from stepping in when he did, stabilising
us and most recently by giving us the interest free loan allowing us to develop and establish ourselves again. I think its the absolutely right thing to do, I can't think of anyone who has had or will have the positive vital impact that he has on Hibs !!

I think it would be a great gesture and very well deserved. It would be good if it's done while he is still with us as well.
IMO of course.

Not for me.
If a stand gets named after STF it should be the West.
The East is the East and belongs to the fans.

When the name "East" is mentioned it, just conjours up memories and imagery from every era, both as terrace and stand. Just leave it be.Last edited by Carheenlea; 25-09-2017 at 08:46 AM.

STF will forever have his place in our clubs history, but it doesn't merit commemoration by naming a stand, and certainly not the East Stand.

But I would rename the West Stand as the STF Stand tomorrow if that's what he wanted.
STF has been one of the most significant figures in our club's history, regardless what the haters think.

Also, it only became the "West" relatively recently.

Absolutely behind this, not bothered about which stand it is.

Yes Please
Certainly deserves a Stand named after him, if not the Entire Stadium. IMO.
GGTTH.

Would be a fitting gesture but I'm with those who would prefer it to be the West that was renamed

Surprised that there could be any negativity towards Sir Tom - I can only assume some folk just have no idea about the significance of what he has done for us.
Anyway, the West would be the one for this and I'm sure in time that will happen.

I agree it should be the west. Sir Tom is probably the most pivotal figure in the history of our great club and I'll be forever greatfull for what he has done.

He'd deserve it.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Nah ........... The fans will always think of it as 'the east' even if it is given a new name. But without doubt the west stand should be renamed the 'Sir Tom Farmer stand' ( I'll suspend my disdain for titles in this case ) if it hadn't been for him its highly doubtful we would have a club to support, at least not one currently 4th in the premiership with an all time high number of season ticket holders and a fully UEFA compliant stadium. Not to mention training facilities the envy of many 'bigger' clubs which we actually own.
From what I see of STF he's pretty self effacing, even though he is also a shrewd business operator, it may be the case that he wouldn't want his ego massaged in this way ........... All I can say to that is 'screw you Farmer, its no up tae you' ..... I cant think of a single fan who wouldn't think this is fully deserved and the sooner it happens the better, so suck it up
THE 'SIR TOM FARMER STAND' ..... Lets make it happen

I'd like to see Pat Stanton honoured and immortalised in some way and preferably in his lifetime.
So that would be my shout for The East!
