My Auntie also worked in the Rowntree factory and would come home with big bags of "broken" produce. We were never short of a Kit Kat or two as well as lots of boiled sweets. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume there hasn't been any offers or none that meets the Board's requirements. Yet. I'll get on to it. The Chong Stand with new edible kiosks and I may include a non-smoking section.

You could say the natural order! Happy with that. I had The Shed instead of Wheatfield because I don't recall people talking about standing in the Wheatfield but maybe the terracing opposite the main stand was called that before my time. Naming after people would be invidious IMO. There are just so many candidates in our 150 year history. The above list would be recognised and understood by any Hearts fan in over 100 years.

Smithian Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Budge Stand or the Foundation Stand. As much as I think naming it after Budge is ideal, she is not unique in being a local leader who has saved a football club. Hearts being the largest supporter owned club in the United Kingdom is a very unique thing, and naming it after FoH could help celebrate that fact every match. And fifty years from now, when Mrs. Budge may be a distant name, the FoH, or some group like it, is likely to still be around. Therefore, my vote goes Foundation of Hearts Stand, or "Foundation Stand" for short. It is something truly unique about the club, it will hopefully be a permanent feature, and every Hearts supporter by way of even just once giving to FoH can see them as part of that legacy.

You could make a case for Ann Budge for the work done to rebuild the club and give us a solid foundation for the future - however this era probably won’t be appreciated by most unless franked with a trophy. “Aside from John Robertson there probably isn’t anyone worthy”. Don’t you think there’s a number of people who’ve been hugely significant in our club’s history? Bobby Walker? Tommy Walker? Wallace Mercer? To name but a few… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown user Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 When I was wee I had to stop and think about which was which, because you stand on the terrace but you sit in the stand. I thought they should be the stand and the sit. Apart from that, I have nothing to add, call it the LGBTQ+ stand for super lefty yuks and be done.

Unknown user Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) As another naming aside, I just found out that NAC Breda's full name is; Nooit opgeven altijd doorzetten, Aangenaam door vermaak en nuttig door ontspanning, Combinatie, Breda They're the result of two teams merging, NOAD and ADVENDO, which were already abbreviations. NOAD suggested NO from one and AD from the other Edited January 8 by ǝǝɥʇᴉɯS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 On 07/01/2024 at 09:18, Daktari said: Personally, I like it how it is. There are many players, managers and figures who are worthy of recognition in this way, but which ones? There could be a fans poll, but could it be infiltrated in a 'Boaty McBoatface' fashion? There could be a committee set up to make the choices, but it won't please everybody either. I'd rather continue to recognise and remember these key figures through a collective remembrance and the museum etc. That said, it's free money to call it 'The Heinz Beans' main stand because we'd all still call it 'the main stand' anyway. That's as far as I'd take it though, and even then that's a stretch for me! Mind you, calling Roseburn 'The 5-1 Stand' might be fun on derby day.....😈 Winding them up a wee bit more with "The Famous 5-1 Stand", maybe?
