STAN BOWLES

The Gus Cesaer Toilets was my vote

Would like Daphne Biggs to get a mention too. Maybe the D.B box office.

What's with Lee Hoos and the clubs directors not wanting to fund the signage for the new Stan Bowles Stand. The cost is £10k and they are asking the fans to fund the changes.

Stan is our greatest ever player and for the club to ask the fans to fund signage is IMO wrong.

The West Ham mob that run our club and the way they have squandered hundreds of millions of the clubs money on over rated players but neglected the fans and much needed stadium improvements is disgraceful.

Stan Bowles will forever be a QPR legend and for Hoos and Fernandes to not provide £10k to fund the new signage shows their real feelings for the club and its history.

Do we then have to presume that it's only the fans that want want to honour Stan and the club don't?  The club  should be honouring our greatest ever player just like other clubs do with their club legends.  The guys that own our club are billionaires and multi millionaires who probably have £10k of loose change in their Seville Row suit pockets.

Whilst changing the name of an already existing stand is a step in the right direction if the club really wanted to honour Stan Bowles they should be erecting a club statue of him outside the ground.  These are owners and directors  who have spent millions on players who have done impressions of statues on the pitch but wouldn't be good enough to lace the great man's boots.

Since Tony and his West Ham mates took over the club our priorities and the way the club has been run has been abysmal. I have long said he uses smoke and mirrors and its how he operates.  Look at his tactics  to get a new training ground, it's genius because the fans pay for it with the risk being all theirs by giving the club an unsecured loan and Tony gets to own it once built and the risk has gone. 

This board squandered millions, got the club a fine for financial mismanagement and now can't stump up £10k to honour it's greatest player.

Shameful IMO.

I can't answer the question why the club have chosen to rename the stand after Stan because I don't know the answer. Can only presume they held some sort of vote, possibly with season ticket holders but it's only a guess. I remember them holding a vote to rename the stadium after KP but I dont remember them asking the fans to fund any of the ground re-branding but they might have.

It doesn't surprise me however, that Stan would have been chosen because although we have had some good players he has been head and shoulders above any QPR player that I've watched in blue and white hoops. Bowles wasn't even our main striker yet scored 97 goals in 315 matches with the majority of them in the top Division. However, it shouldn't matter who was chosen, it could have been Gerry Francis,  Alan MacDonald etc.,  etc.,  these players are part of the clubs history and deserve the club to honour them without asking the fans to have to fork out. 

What I didnt realise but I'm not surprised by, is that TF would offer to rename a stand after an ex player but would want the fans to pay the cost. He wants the credit but not the cost.

It sums up TF and his mates, they got us relegated, wasted tens of millions of pounds, landed us with a FFP fine, want to  take the kudos for re-nameing a stand but want the fans to find the £10k.

It must be really hard times for our billionaire and multi millionaire owners.

Who paid for the stadium renaming...? I am guessing the club, rather than the trust.
