Stand Names @ The Triangle

[Fanatica]

This is one that has been debated for many years in pubs across the land.

I think the Jim Smith stand is a no brainier, but what other stand names would you like to see?

Joey Beauchamp?
Beano?
Shuker?
Atkinson(s)?

 

[brightonyellow]

Brannagans Bridge for that bridge we need to build…. Oh wait

 

[Northstandboy]

How about naming the road closures/ road blocks?

What defender was good at blocking?

I can name a large number who were terrible at it..

 

[oxfordkits]

I think...
Jim Smith - for the glory years
Graham Atkinson - the highest goal scorer and nod to the club's early league years
Joey Beachamp - Obvs
And perhaps leave one for now (perhaps just The Main Stand) and leave it for a newer generation.

There'll be many more opportunities for naming areas. The Micky Lewis Bar has just gotta be eh?

 

[East Stand Fan]

The Brannagan Stand has a nice ring to it.

I also think Erik Thorhir deserves recognition because without his backing, we probably wouldn't exist right now, let alone be in the Championship.

 

[Peterdev]

Roland deserves a mention

I can assure you in no uncertain terms that owners putting their names on stadiums will be frowned upon by Oxford fans everywhere…

 

[JerryL]

Please for the love of all that is holy can we have one end called the Wang stand
Also stadium names, the new manor
Please and thankyou

 

[holdsteady]

If we need to name the bogs

The Ian Middleton toilet
The Fiona Mawson toilet
The Sue McIvor toilet
The Linda Ward toilet
The Tackley Steve toilet

 

[Vancouver Yellow]

The True Friends of Stratfield Brake Stadium

 

[beyondthefourth]

A Jim Smith stand and a Joey Beauchamp statue at a minimum.

 

[Barrywedge]

1)The new Manor
2)The United Stadium
3) The Ox Stadium
4) The Triangle
5) The Family Stadium

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

'The New Manor' for stad name

Just sounds classic old fashioned with a hint of new.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Jim Smith stand
Joey beauchamp stand
The North stand, sponsored by GAP (the stand closest to Kidlington)
Ken Fish stand
We can also have the Steve Hill wine bar

The Ian Middleton toilet

The Tackley Steve toilet

It's ironic that they never like to spend a penny!

 

[TobyDavis34]

1)The new Manor
2)The United Stadium
3) The Ox Stadium
4) The Triangle
5) The Family Stadium

New Manor or just The Triangle

 

[Whingit]

When they build on the golf course and eventually SB, would be nice if we can lobby for some OUFC themed road names too, Bell Terrace, McWilliams Close, Colin's cul-de-sac etc.

 

[Whingit]

The stadium can be called "The Ethical Coconut, Bangkok Glass Arena in Association With Debt Dr and Andy's Barber Shop, Fleet Street Bicester" for all I care. As long as it's ours.

Beauchamp is confirmed as a stand name!
Shotton & Atkinson would be my other 2 picks and then the 4th id leave as the east satand until brannagan retires with us and then we change it

Sell the rights improve the budget. Unpopular and hard but life

And will be what happens should we get there*.

*Loved the planning approval but until it actually built I will have 'the fear' over it.

If I was king of the world I would make it illegal to name anything after a living person. It’s awful practise. (1) it just panders to massive egos which is never nice. (2) there is a chance that they do something unspeakable and then what ? (3) surely it would be embarrassing? (But see point 1).

Erick Thohir is the founder of Mahaka Media in Indonesia. I'd have no problems with the stadium being called "The Mahaka New Manor" as an example. Erick gets the name of his company out in the UK, the club get a big sponsorship fee, and we will just call it The New Manor and everyone's happy.

As said before, as much as I'm grateful for everything Erick and co. have done, I don't ever want a stadium named after an owner. I also wouldn't want it to be formally known as The Triangle. I would hope that we have a name with a little more meaning and heritage to it.

 

[OxfordBoy]

Not having one called ‘the fence end’ will be a bitter disappointment imo

I also like the idea of actually naming the stadium the triangle tbh, could try and get Dairylea to sponsor it

 

[Leysboy]

The Jim Smith Stand is an absolute no brainer. That should be a certainty.

You can have things like Constables Corner too. For the younger generation.

A couple of statues would be lovely.

Beauchamps Bar. Fans Bar.

Just some ideas.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Unofficial name I think either
The New Manor Ground (old roots)
The Triangle (new roots)

Jim Smith Stand (North Stand)
Oxford Road (East stand)
Other stands keep them unnamed for future generations to fill

 

[Canterburyexile]

The stadium name will be sold for cash. That’s fine and we’ll need the money.

I think and hope that it will always be known as the Triangle/New Manor to us fans.

Stand names? Joey of course should have one, as should Jim Smith. The others can wait for a while I reckon.

 

[Robin Shater]

Surely we must have the Paul Battery storage room.

 

[Bitter]

Arthur Turner has to be in there surely.
