ellieslie road stand 12:29 - Jun 26 with 10490 viewssouthbrookstreet

There seems to be on certain Qpr websites going on about renaming the Ellieslie road stand "stanley bowles stand" i can remember he constantly put in transfer requests and when he was turned down he would say according to newspaper reports "I will put in another one" that's not loyal in my book yes he was a great player for us but so was Rodney come to think of it I would prefer a loyal player to a skilful player who's more important loyal or skilful.. capt Macca comes to mind or even capt tony ingram with 548 appearances and a total of 50 years service with the Rs and what about the guy who put us on the map and what we are today Jim gregory... I could go on but come to think of it what's wrong with ellieslie road stand name its been there for over a hundred years a bit of history there... but there again that's my opinion..

Brian Bedford or George Goddard would be more worthy too IMO

I don’t get why we need to honour people. Achievements yes, people no. No one is perfect so don’t make out that some individuals are somehow superior. We should be seeking to inspire people to match and exceed achievements, not people.

Stan Bowles shouldn’t be put on a pedestal any more than he already is. He’s already held in high regard by the fans despite his flaws, that’s enough.

The Stan Stand. Works for me.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Seems to me quite a bit of virtue signalling about this issue. If it's about achievements as a player for QPR well Dave Clement Ian Gillard Gerry Francis from that team all played more games for QPR the last being the first and last England captain to play for us.
Yes Stan has dementia and should be helped same as any former player just not sure how having a stand named after him will help him in his life

It's nice to have reminders of our favourites though. How about naming the blocks. R becomes Rodney, S Stanley, P Parker, A Allen's, B Bedford, I Ingham, T Tarabt, E Eze, W Wegerlie just a few suggestions to start with.

Jim Gregory should get the SA Rd stand. Alec Stock the Ellerslie.

We cant call LR the KPFS for ever so i would propose renaming Elersie the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stand

I dont think we should be naming a stand for a player but if we did i would think Ian Gillard plus Ingham, Sibley, Francis and others would be in the mix ahead of Stan much as i loved him

Can’t we do like Charlie oatways parents did and name it after all the first names in one of our teams.Preferably not any of the teams from 2014-15.
I don’t like the sound of Robert,Jose,Joey,Shaun etc stand.

I think it would be harsh to prevent the stand from being named after Bowles because he knew his value to the team and occasionally handed in transfer requests. Especially when one, I think, came after he was substituted at Upton Park in the FA Cup and took it personally, that shows passion rather than petulance in my opinion.

I like the idea of naming sections of the ground after former greats and would like to see one named after Jim Gregory too because, to go into the cliché, this is the club he built and the chances are that our post 1960 history would have been very different without his involvement in the club.

I love the idea of naming stands after people who've served our club so well.

My four would be:

Ellerslie - Stan - our best and/or favourite player.
Schhol - Tony Ingham - record appearances, director, gentleman.
Loft - Daphne - meant so much to so many of us.
Saffa - leave as is for now.

Daphne's Loft does have a certain ring to it - brought a smile to my face anyhow

Thieving Cockney Bastids!

Sorry...

Could do.

I’d prefer the club held back until there’s a stadium fit for their names.

For now, could rename SAR as the Victor Mobley stand in honour of those of us suffering crumbling knees.
