The Beard Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 i heard a couple of evertonians the otha day tlkn about remaning the main stand "the Brian Labone stand". I think this would be a good idea and a fitting tribute to a man who have his all to our club. What do u all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 i was thinking that. good idea for such a great man. but i heard people were thinking of a statue to be placed next to dixie dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 wud be nice, but i think they shud put the statue maybe on the corner of the park end and the bullens road. dont think there is much room for a statue next to dixie is there? hope they do something to honour him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in there (I usually go in the Park End) they still had wooden seats, is this still the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldfishMemory Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 As far as i know there are still some sections with wooden seats but it will never happen anyway if it does they will hold off and name a stand in the new stadium if we ever get one!!

CraccerC Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 its a nice idea... but if ther was ne possibility doin this they shudda done it while he was alive... but still ...main stand is a borin name why not, labby deserves some rememberence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 maybe someone should write to the board and ask. im sure kenwright wouldnt object. his tribute in the sun to labby was extremely moving. might be worth a go. but its probably true that if they were going to they would hold off until we move, IF we ever do.

Mac Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Renaming the stand is a fantastic idea, but statues should be reserved for those who have truly shone, no slur against Brian intended, but William was a one off and a statue is just too special. Sorry if I have trodden on toes here, but fairs fair. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 i just dont like the idea of two statues, unless we had a new ground, with a statue at either end. but namin a stand is fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
