Rodney Marsh Stadium? Mike Keen Stadium?

[Macmoish]

Not sure there would be an absolute clear cut choice if was to name club after ONE player... Marsh, Bowles, Keen, Francis, Ingham Stadium? Or maybe Jim Gregory or Alec Stock Stadium?)


BBC Gossip (if Accurate!)

I thought it was Ibrox?

Get the biggest sponsor possible and name it accordingly. We are not some 4th division club.

if it was going to be anything other than Loftus Road, i do quite like the kingfisher stadium. something of a ring about it. and a damn site better lager than carlsberg imho. which reminds me, how come there is never ever cold beer at half time in SA Road stand? They have all week to chill it, boutique / gourmet my a**

[terryloftus]

I think Loftus Road must stay that way, it's our home!
But, I don't understand WHY we can't have a statue or 'MIKE KEEN STAND'
The man captained our only major cup winning team at Wembley and there isn't even a key ring to the man!!!!!

After all, if West Ham can have a 'Trevor Brooking Stand' ..... we SHOULD have a Mike Keen stand!!!

I was wondering why Jim Gregory never did anything, in the way of a permanent reminder to our finest hour???
After all, he was the Chairman then and into the 1980's!!
I do lay some blame at Jim Gregory's door, for NEVER doing ANYTHING as a permanent celebration/ memorial for his only great winning team and it's Captain!!!!

Don't think Gregory was too much of a sentimentalist...The way he refused to strengthen after 75/76 and in fact sold off...

[terryloftus]

Yeah, I think your right mate. I think i'm just completely baffled by the non- Mike Keen situation!

Actually, fours stands. Hmmmm Mike Keen Stand, Rodney Marsh Stand, Gerry Francis Stand, Jim Gregory Stand. Keen and Francis started their careers here Marsh although starting down at Fulham, spent pretty much most of his career here and gregory oversaw all of them. I left Stan off because he was at several clubs before finding home.
