Name the new SCG granstand

[herbert henry1908]

How did Keith Miller not make the team of the century? He'd be a shoe in.

maybe the criteria was they had to start with NSW or at least come from NSW?

otherwise i agree , strange he's not there.


Although in saying that i dont think he would be an appropriate choice for the new stand.

 

[MSKnight]

Locky how about the Shane Watson Stand...

Hahahaha

Should be Vic Trumper Stand.

 

[mightybears]

Trumper probably has his nose in front due to his connections to 2 sports.

As it should be, and a least one bar should be called after [ his opening partner ] reggie duff !

 

[kkingston]

whats wrong with doug walters?

 

[Twizzle]

go Dougy, one of my favourite players

 

[azza]

whats wrong with doug walters?

Um.... there's already a stand named after him perhaps??

 

[griffo346]

the tubby stand

 

[Avenger]

The Warwick Capper Stand.
















Just joking

It has to be the Richie Benaud Stand.

 

[griffo346]

richie has a statue

 

[griffo346]

Im keen for the Warrick Capper Stand TBH

Or the Tony Locket Stand

 

[NK Arsenal]

Does it have to be a cricketer?

If not, Lockett has a good chance imo

 

[Sheilas, Wogs and Poofter]

I'm going against the trend a little on this.I don't see why it has to be called ".... stand" so I'm voting it be called the "Waugh Zone" after Steve and Mark.Apart from both cricketers deserving the recognition it sounds pretty cool as well.

If not

Does it have to be a cricketer?

If not, Lockett has a good chance imo

If not him then Paul Kelly, but by the sounds of it, it's gonna be the Richie Benaud stand

 

[griffo346]

i dont think thats fair for richie to have both

Timbo wats wrong with that suggestion mate

 

[Tommy Smith]

What's wrong with that suggestion?

Nothing...apart from the fact that it would be inappropriate to name a stand of Sydney's most traditional home of sport, where great social times and family fun have been had for over a century, a 'Waugh Zone' because it sounds like 'War Zone'.

It's important to remember that although it sounds 'cool', a war zone isn't actually a cool thing at all. And considering the SCG is an Aussie icon that has come to symbolise 'good times' over the last 100 years i would think it abit odd to give one of it's new stands a name that brings to mind two of the worst events of that same century - namely WWI and WWII.

Yep, that's largely what I was shooting for.
