    Stand Names

    Re The Hibernianization of our ground. We have the Famous Five stand so what about other stands after other famous Hibs' men. well Pat is from Niddrie, which is EAST Edinburgh and Joe was brought up near Motherwell, which is WEST of Scotland. Makes sense to me.

    I recall somebody saying to me, or perhaps I read it on here, that the three home stands should be called the Harp, Ship and Castle stands. They could have those emblems from our club crest displayed prominently above them.

    The away stand could have a huge vagina or p-e-n-i-s (for some reason 'vagina' acceptable but '*****' not on here) on exhibition, and be referred to by the appropriate designation.

    Think thats a cracking idea. 'Sauzee stand' has some ring to it tho.

    Would make more sense to sell the naming rights to the stands.

    Can we not just be a Football Club and not resort to having to sell our soul. Anyway STF has plenty money we just need to find a way to get him to spend some of it. None of us are getting any younger and there are no pockets in a shroud.

    Yes, I think this was discussed on an old thread 9the one about putting the original harp back on one of the stands) and the idea was banded about to keep the FF stand, and the other 3 Ship, Harp and Castle.I quite like that idea

    Would want one called the Whelahan Stand after first Captain, Famous Five as is and Farmer Stand for helping to save us from Wallace Mercer. Not sure what I would call the away end. Shame we couldn't get Albion Road or one of the surrounding streets called Tornado Terrace.

    In time a stand should, and imo will, be named for Tom Farmer.

    if this were to happen, I would say the west as that's where the board sit.

    The FF - keep as is
    West- STF Stand or Ship
    East - Sauzee or Castle (the east is our castle after all)
    South - Harp or Dunbar

    Always thought they should have called the training ground "legends" then branding which would say "past, present, future"
