I thought I would throw this out there.
What do you think they should call the Southern Grandstand ?

I think two goods ones would be.

1/ Monty Porter Stand
2/ Porter/Rogers Stand

Anyone else got an idea.
Cheers Gil

Wait and name it after the bloke who skippers them to a premiership victory. Face it, regardless of what anyone else has done in a Sharks jersey, it wont stack up to the first premiership winners.

In the event of the Porter/Rogers idea being used, it would have to be clarified that its Steve as opposed to Mat, and Monty as opposed to Scott.

Would love to see the CSSC moved into there one day to occupy the whole thing, as to emulate a home end like in England, then call it the cage.

I would like to see the bays in the stand have names ie The Monty Porter Bay. Also we should get a NEW scoreboard and call it "The Steve Rogers Scoreboard"

I understand the sentimental reason the respect behind naming something after a legend but wouldn't the Club be better served to sell the name?

What is the average # of times the score is read out in a game? A replay watched? A video ref decision awaited?

It must get somewhere around 20 times a game x 11 home games per year x average crowd of 9000 (?) = almost 2 million 'hits' a season. At just 10c/hit that's almost $200k. Probably more realistic at 1c/hit but I'm sure $20k would be well recieved nonetheless.

How many people per game would buy a ticket to sit in a certain stand? 2000? That's potentially 220,000 ticket per year going out with 'Qantas Stand' (for example) branding on them. Any company worth their salt would be leveraging off that as they go. Could probably get 10c a ticket or something along those lines?

I agree with Bundy should be sold to a sponsor its worth $$ we need all the $$ we can.

As for Steve Rogers stand it has a nice ring to it but he did go and play for St George for two years if he had stayed with us then I would have no problem in calling it the Steve Rogers stand.

I guess that's why we have the ET stand he was a one club man.

Maybe name the hill after SR or something.

So sell the rights to naming the stand.

How about the "I Couldn’t Stand" going through another season without a premiership. Or "The Hand Stand". Or the "It wasn’t me it was my mate stand". Or the “Tony Zappia - Shadow Boxing Stand” . Or the "Paul Gallen - Stand by me Stand".

love the idea..............
how about if the club spends all season taking name suggestions at home games at 5 bucks a pop and the most popular name wins for the following seasons...... makes the club a few more bucks
